Rusty's not very quiet cuda progress

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!
 
Sounds like a lot of money doesn't it? I miss the days of buying them cheap and keeping them that way.

Time to buy a sign.
 
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 traffic mostly.
 
It was never meant to be a gas mizer, it's a high performance pony car. On the highway you 'might' get 15 on a good day.
 
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?
 
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 baby bucket list before I sell it or croak!
 
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! 20260601_153940.jpg20260601_154027.jpg20260601_154042.jpgThen I dug out a cover I haven't used since I was stored outside.
Keep my grimy garage dust off it! 20260601_154413.jpg
