Ok.  So engine has new oil, and I think I'll change out the coolant to be safe.  But what else?  The car is a 56 customline.  Been sitting mostly undriven for 40 years.  Lots of grease/oil splattered under the car but doesn't seem to leak/drip at all after running on jack stands.

Should I add any lube to the tranny?  it is a manual tranny, what lube does it use and how do I add it?  What about rear-end fluid?  I don't see a drain plug on the differential how easy is it to change the rear end fluid?

Any other ideas before the maiden voyage?
