That's a big assumption. You also have to be sure no one parks in front of
you.  BUT, I plan on avoiding any handcranking, if I could and if I can,
since I now have the car all painted and shinny with new grill and all.  The
malformation of the grill around the crank hole and the absence of paint
inside and around the guide that sits in back of the grill before my
restoration tell me that I won't be happy with the after effects of
attempting to crank the engine.

BTW, if anyone is interested in the results of my partial restoration,
pictures are on my web site:
