Good... now please drive the poor old gal... maybe in July... just a little west and a tad south... it could be the best 5 hours of your life.

I’ll definitely try... it’ll require about three cases of tranny fluid and a hazmat team but... I can try!Good... now please drive the poor old gal... maybe in July... just a little west and a tad south... it could be the best 5 hours of your life.
Spread that thin over the states you'll be traveling, no hazmat team required... just don't stop for too long in one place. As to long term environmental effects... everyone will just blame NJ anyhow...

Home! Had to cut the inaugural run a tad short as the dust cap came off inside the wheelcover. Other than that, it’s pretty clear I need a brake booster but for now, goes straight, rides smooth but not like a mattress on a lake smooth... and man does she sit pretty!

It’s funny what happens to the lines of a car when it sits as it was intended to sit. It’s like that old trick with the Canadian 20 dollar bill from round 2004 where you fold it through the eyes and corners of the mouth on the queens portrait then depending on if you tilt it down or up, it looks like she’s happier or sadder.
My car just looked saggy n sad. She now looks sporty and right and all the lines make sense.
Now it’s booster time!

It is gorgeous. I do hope you can take her out on the road and enjoy driving her.

I had her out for quite a few hours yesterday. I imagine every chance I get I’ll be driving her this summer.

Take yer Bev to work day. Actually feel a little stupid missing the show on Sunday now. She took to the highway quite well, left a lot of space due to the iffy brake booster but had a nice 25 minute ride in. I’ll be tanking the booster and master cylinder this weekend to get that all sorted.

Booster and Master in and bled. Feels a little soft, not totally sure why but they’re there and stopping the car... might just have gotten used to having no assist.
Next up is the trans leak, the pinion seal and a crappy sounding rear bearing... figure I can limp it through for a while though.

Hey @GJS any shows you know of for Memorial Day? I know they usually always have one. I’m back up here in CT and would love to see one of your C’s!

I actually don’t know of any shows this weekend... I’m sure there are, but I’m pretty locked down with pre Memorial Day yard work. She’ll likely take me down to the pool store for some stuff but otherwise she’ll be in the front yard, airing out her stanky interior.
If you wind up round Tolland, let me know! You’d be more than welcome to drop in for a visit!

We’ll make plans next time for sure. Next time I’m in town (Hopefully 4th of July) I’d like to meet you , @FURYGT @rags @SportFury70 and whoever else is in the area!

Definitely! We may or may not be having a party but either way, I relish the idea of a northeast C Body meet up and cruise... just putting that out there... I volunteer my driveway and front yard as a place to park and shoot the **** for a while but would gladly meet anywhere! Let’s get this on!

yea, I’ve officially been distracted from my yard work thinking on filling this yard up with C Bodies. I’d have to make a Ford exception for my across the street neighbor and his 63 Galaxie tho... frikkin thing is sweet as they come.
