Stopped at Pat Skelly's place for a little bit this afternoon. He was just getting done putting new points and condensor in his '60 Hawk. Had it on the charger, just to make sure the new battery wouldn't get run down. Squirted a little gas in the carb and hit the remote starter switch. Started right up like it had been started lest week. Except it has been two years since last fired up, and the gas stank like it. But, the engine settled in and ran real, real smooth. Smoked just a teeny bit, but an oil change and fresh gas will most likely clear that up. Pat said he was going to spend the weekend cleaning it up, and prepping it for sale on Ebay, or something like that.....Unless someone talks nice to him. He's set on selling it to allow him to get started on hos '37 coupe project. Sure was good to hear that Stude Hawk purr...
