Well.........................

"Meet him once and you won't forget him." Hmmmm...... I believe the same thing was said about Attila the Hun. Don't get yer hopes up too high, folks. Just a worn out old man here. Enjoy these cars while you can, but, as with any hobby, don't let them consume you. (Toy train folks and railfans do the same thing, btw.) Yeh, I'm preaching here, something I do at the slightest opportunity, so you have been warned. Pax Domini. Jim
 
Well...........

Well it has been two months and ten days since I first posted that I bought the 64. I did drive it once in that time. It has never been to my house (it's house) I have never gotten to wash and wax it. It is still in the hospital waiting on parts. So far, we have flushed the radiator, checked the heat riser, put in new plugs,points,distributer cap, plug wires, LOF, new brakes, and changed the tranny fluid and filter. We are waiting on a filler neck and both rear wheel bearings that seem to be coming from somewhere by way of Donkey Cart Transit Co. We still need to fix the windshield wipers and it needs to go to the muffler shop. If all goes well, then she comes home for an engine detail and some paint, interior detail, exterior detail then I start hounding, bugging and begging Ed Renstrom that let's go ahead and trade now so I can fit her for her beacon ray. THEN and only then will there be pictures a plenty of this magnificent beast as well as fleet pictures. In the mean time all I can do is just sit and type about it. I know how Dan Skivolocke feels waiting on his Victoria at Rance Bennett's, although his car has been there ten years I hope I don't have to wait that long!
 
Home

:weneedpics_smi:She is home, I picked her up and drove her home today. I can tell you she handled well ran well, shifted well. Tonight I will start the detailing that will begin under the hood. There will be no pictures until every little inch has been shined inside and out and she is adorned with a cherry on top. :weneedpics_smi:
 
Got home from work and been tinkering around a little. Did a little cleaning under the hood and then started in the driver compartment. Cleaned the headliner dash and chrome there and upholstery. Tomorrow I will pick up there and vacume the floor and clean it them I think I will go back over some of the stuff I did today with polish. Tomorrow I might have more time I can empty out the back and get started there too. The outside is pretty dusty from being at the mechanics. I am thinking of using a clay bar on the exterior when I do get outside started.
 
Today's Tease

Well last evening the driver compartment got scrubbed down tonight after work I will empty the patient compartment and beging the scrub down there. I purchased a clay bar today for when I start the exterior. The car is so dirty on the outside now I can barely stand it but good things come to those who wait!
 
Have ya ever?

Well I have been working on this car pretty much ever since I got it back. I can say she is as clean as a baby's bottom. I had some fits with those lovely M-M curtain rods :14_6_12:. I know some judge will probably ding me, but as I did not have the dual ring holder for the O2 I adapted dual cups and put them in a different local. The car has now moved insde now after a good washing. Yesterday it got treated to a clay bar treatment. Have any of you ever performed a clay bar treatment on your coach before? Believe me when you are done, you never want to see a clay bar again! I also polished the chrome which turned out very nice and now I am working on wax. This thing is looking awesome. :thumb:
 
clay bar........ isn't that the same as a "mud" pack that women put on their faces? :angel:
