I know this might not be the proper place to post this..but this is the best board around. MY buddy just inhereted a 63 T-Bird and we went up to go take a look....it wouldnt start, so i figured the battery was dead after being stored for a few months untouched. The headlights and the radio worked though. When we turn the key nothing happens though. The volt meter confirms low battery. Why would accecories work....? The powersteering resovoir was taken out for some under hood painting but aside from that everything looks intact. What might someone do in storage that would cause a no start like this??? Or is it just the battery?
