Nice cool day so I figured I'd start getting her cleaned up for the show sat. I think this is the first wax job since I finished it? Looks perty! Then I dug out a cover I haven't used since I was stored outside. Keep my grimy garage dust off it!

I guess I should say it's not a problem, I think I did all the little cruises in the last 2 years on one tank, it's not like I'm taking a 50 state tour. Just didn't think it would be that low. I gotta put it on my easy pass so I can get on the parkway & put some highway miles at speed on it. My...

Trying to remember my stock 360 back in the 70's gas crisis & all was thinking 9 or 10 maybe 20 on the highway. Did not expect it to be lie the 6cyc, charger but I thought better than 5?

OK, my towns car show is a week from saturday, lets hope it's not rained out again, would like to make one show before I decide to sell it. So I gassed it up, did the milage, geeze it looks like 5 .3or4 MPG, again mostly local cruising & idling had that one short trip on the highway, but in...

Dang I was gonna say time for sledge-o-matic!

Had to be a reason, for insulation it doesn't do much, noise makes a little sense. On the other car I put that stick on padding on the whole interior floor , this car just the black mats that come with the carpet, don't hear a lot of difference, these cars are noisy!

Ahhhh the memories, my heater box fought me for a while, I think something warped on the box, getting it in all the holes was a fight, I ended up chipping one of the drain tubes on the final ram the darn thing in, luckily far enough out not to leak back in the car. I kinda wondered what good...

Gonna start at 50K, need 42 or so to make back the 10K I lost on the first one, I may be dreaming but hey shoot for the stars! Then I'll have a 20 or so year hobby that only cost me 4 million hours & a couple of pints of blood!

Trying to stay away from a long term commitment, might just convert the garage into a giant HO train layout, show some of Dad's collection before I croak.

Just spotted a sign for the local show, sat june 6th, better not rain me out this year! maybe I'll stick a for sale sign in & see if I get any interest in it at all?

Still smells deadly, but after those I'm not gonna worry about running too rich anymore! Now I gotta find a local car show, want to be in one before I croak!

Finally got up the nerve to take the 'Cuda a little further out & hit the highway, first one was about 2 miles down the road, well traffic was thick & I think I may have made it to 40 once, another mile or 2 & I hit the other highway, started out slow & finally got up to 55, had one opportunity...

Nice, did you ever think you had to be an engineer to put a car back together!

Sounds like fun!

Washers a good fix to fasten that cable, I'm gonna need pics to see what you do with that cable kit?
