1978 NYB Road Trip

[1978 NYB]

I had to take a break and decided to go on a road trip to Green Bay with the NYB. She ran great and I'm making a pit stop in Indiana to see Newp Mike for a couple of days. We are going to replace the pogs in the driver door motor with the Mr. C mod. And hopefully smacking the passenger front motor a couple of times with a rubber mallet will get that one working.

It was pretty cool driving on the open road again. There was about 10 people (that I noticed) taking pictures of the NYB as they were passing by and a couple of people video taping with their phones.

Going to Lambeau Sunday to see Packers vs. Colts. Then maybe some fishing on the Wisconsin River for bass and walleyes. Can keep five 15"-20" and one over 28".

BTW, it was 800 miles from home to Newp Mike. Nonstop and no problems!

Nice Bob, good for you! Maybe a stop in Detroit on your way back for one last visit to the museum?

Any chance you would have an extra ticket to the game? Lol.

Should be a really nice weekend for a road trip in Wisconsin, unusually warm weather for this time of year. Good luck on your trip!

GO PACK GO!

Sounds like a good trip Bob, have fun!

A little bit of a setback. I had 5 window motors only one works. Got it put back together with the Mr. C pog repair and the dang regulator and the window switch needs to be replaced. It's the most irritating repair on the car. Tested the motor with a power source. Ran clockwise and counterclockwise. Installed and damn thing only works going down.

I love hearing that.
Enjoy yourself!

Safe journey my friend...

Made it to Green Bay yesterday. 1,050 miles and the NYB is still saying fill me up and keep going. The Packer game was excellent. The outcome not so much...

There is a place near here that has all kinds of antique gas pumps displayed in a tight formation around an ancient gas station. Perfect photo opp for the NYB. My cousin is going to take some pictures with a Nikon 8S I believe it is. I'm going to have one off them blown up and put on the wall at home.

We need a copy...

Well, the NYB made it back to Maryland. I do have a couple of pictures at my Cousin's house I trying to download and post.

I'm having technical difficulties.

I will post the rest of the pictures when I get this sorted out.
