[cbarge]

Out with the old and in with the new motor oil and filter. Tire rotation, adjusted front wheel bearings and drum brakes.

If i,m correct it,s here for 2-3 years , it was bought and put in the barn when it came here , the owner does have a lot of cars , it was never driven here , still have to fix a few things , leaking exhaust manifold ......and a few other , put the new carpet in today....and it need a good cleaning .

There was a new carpet in the trunk but the old was allready out , i don,t think its the correct carpet because there,s no hump for the seatbelt cover....??!!

Today was time for some electrical work.
New ignition cables, negativ and positiv battery cable and a rebuild starter motor.

It was the first time I had to take care about a starter motor. I was suprised how easy it was to change it. Not much space but no problem to take it out and the new one in. Thanks to the former Mopar engeneers! I'm glad that no one has installed headers ;)

I was totally shocked, now the Sport Fury starts in the first second of the turned key. Whats wrong with my car???

Beautiful day for a drive. Took the long way (about 20 miles extra) to Walmart that is only 4 miles away. 35 degrees and sunny with only a light breeze. Only had to open the heater vent a little to keep my feet warm.
And have I told you how much I like my bench seat console. I don’t know what I would do without it.

Made this jig out of 2x6's to support the windshield that will be used to replace the damaged windshield on the 71 NYer.
This precautionary step hopefully will help prevent the windshield from cracking while applying any amount of pressure with the random orbital buffer to remove the light scratches and imperfections.

So. . . All the scratches are on the inside of the windshield?

 

[sixpkrt]

Yes. When I bought it at the Rockford swap meet, it wasn't in a car at the time.
It looks like something had been placed on the windshield while it was being stored while laying flat. I can only guess that is why there were scratches on the inside of the windshield.

 

[sixpkrt]

I am keeping the scrap wood that already has the not perfect, but close contour of the windshield.
These will be used on the same jig. I just need to flip over the jig I made, and position these where needed, to do the front side of the windshield.

I got tired at looking at those T-Bird's...

 

['66 Fury I]

After owning/driving the Fury for 30 years, some items need attention again! Last spring I replaced the fuel pump. this year I had the fuel tank cleaned and coated, replaced all the rubber fuel line sections, replaced the rad and heater hoses, brake shoes and flushed the brake fluid.
Last year I put new bearings and seals in a spare manual steering box. I did not have an inch-pound torque wrench, so I guessed. I installed the box and it worked "OK" last season. This week I bought a proper wrench and today I set the box as per the FSM. What a difference!! I had guessed on the loose side. Always pays to use proper tools, and use them correctly! Howmany times do I have to learn the same lesson?
Stay well everyone! Lindsay

I delivered the Polara to the trim shop today. New top to be installed, reupholster the buddy seat to match the new seat covers and freshen up the boot. (new padding and lining).

The, "I'm just gonna change the carpet", project continues to snowball. First time doing this. So far I'm happy with how it's going.

 

[HWYCRZR]

Took the “truck” to FleetFarm to get a full tank of gas, fill my gas can, and buy a couple bags of mulch and top soil.
I probably had about 350 Lbs plus a full tank of gas. Oh and about 30 Lbs of tools. Maybe it is time to think about new springs. Sure did ride smooth though.

After work today, I am tending to a few little needs on the Imperial. Plans are to drive it to an open show at Beaver Bend State Park in far southeastern Oklahoma on Friday. It's about four hours away, and will be the single longest trip yet in my nearly eight years of Imperial ownership. It's been on two Hot Rod Hundred runs (about 300 miles each time) and several shorter, local runs, but this will be the first actual road trip with an overnight stay as part of the trip. It shows 252 miles one-way for this journey. The trip is 1/3 Interstate, 1/3 turnpike toll road, and 1/3 two-lane State highway. The turnpike is one that is hardly used by anyone, but the pavement is probably the best anywhere in Oklahoma. My son and I drove to east Texas a few weeks ago. Driving 100 mph is easy on this leg! But I'll keep it to the 80 mph speed limit with the Imperial. A nearly 600-mile long trip should be fun, and what this car was designed for!

Haven't yet serviced the air conditioning, but the weather-guessers are forecasting mid-70s for the weekend with a 20% chance of rain. No real need for it...yet.
