As far as the engine, When I purchased the car, the Carb and the intake manifold were taken off, so it wasn't in running condition and I don't know why. In theory I could do a compression check, and if OK, put the carb and intake on. But not knowing the history of the car, it seems like a safer plan to just pull it apart and go through it to make sure it is right. I'd hate to restore the rest of the car and have an issue and then have to pull the engine again.
Cliff posted that he quit plating & is not taking on any more rebuilds now.

Here's another builder, in Texas, that's said to be good.
