I free'd a stuck piston, now what?

All the Pistons are reaching the same height in the bore so it seems like not a bent rod but yeah, if I pull the piston, the bent rod inspection will occur.

I've got a beautiful rechromed original grill for it.

The last guy put a roof insert in it. I didn't love it at first, but its growing on me. I have the roof insert channel and could put it back.

This was the car in the late 1970s, early 80s

The irony here is very interesting, the chassis comes from a restoration that is being rodded and the body comes from a hot rod that is now going to be restored!
