Default New guy, old car

Hi all,
Chris here, in Bay Area, California.
Always been a technical person, but mainly in the areas of computers, electronics and building things.
I never really learned anything about cars but I wanted to change that and I do love learning things, so I am about to take home a '54 XK-120 that hasn't run since the 80s.
Looking forward to a fun journey of getting this gem to run again, which I am sure will have me ask a thing or two on this forum.

Welcome to the Forums.

That will be simple enough, compared to the current crop. Not a Computer in site, whoopee.

Good luck.
