I made it back to Austin in Lucy. I drove straight thru from Evansville-17 hours and 1000 miles. It was not my intent but I had battery and charging problems as I was leaving and since it was dark and raining I opted to stay the night and work on the problem the next morning. Push started the car and drove to a NAPA store and purchased a btty, installed new btty and discovered that the PO had hooked up the btty backwards, polarized the generator and cruised to Austin (no radio-I know myself a whole lot better now). Lucy is a very good car and will not require much for a restoration- paint, window and door seals, some minor rust work and not much else. The car is complete. Looking under the hood is like looking at a new car, it is all shiny and clean, the rear liggage compartment and engine is almost as nice. I'm happy. I do not remember the last discussion concerning window rubber for popouts, as you might surmise I need this rubber. Where do I find this rubber?
