Happy Indepenence Day and congratulations on getting it running and driving.
Most (okay, ALL) of the cars I've bought in the last 30 or so years have been forgotten, neglected old beaters that were in somebody's back yard, or field, or (rarely) garage. Getting them to run and drive YEARS after the previous owner had given up, and then driving the thing out of it's presumed final resting place is a huge high. I love it. My own current daily driver is a 76 Cordoba that was buried under a pile of typical carport ****. I refused to call a hook and drove it out under its own power. Years ago I bought a 1969 300 from a guy who'd stashed it in the back corner of his mother's back yard 20 yrs earlier thinking that he'd get to "fixing it up...someday". I told him I was gonna drive that big sonuvabitch outta there and he told me that if I could make it run, he'd make a path. Twenty years worth of crap and hoarder-junk made it impossible to drive it out the proper way, so true to his word, he tore down the back fence and I left in reverse. Keep on updating, progress reports keep slackers like me motivated.
I don't know how American Independence Day goes over in Canada, didn't notice you were Canadian til just now. But on a side note, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the funniest movie EVER. Bar none.
Some call me........Tim.
