I got it together enough to attempt a trip to the gas station late last night. It made it there and back no problem. I stopped at a car wash on the way back and knocked most of the crud off and scrubbed the blue coating off the whitewalls. This morning I drove it to church and lunch, and down to my grandparent's house, almost 20 miles total. Only issue so far was the lower alternator bolt backed out, someone forgot to put a nut on it. Still a ton of things to cross off the to-do list but its driveable now!
