I walked by it this afternoon. I fixed the issue with brakes about 6-8 weeks ago. That was a nice victory. I'm trying to spend one day a week tinkering with it. I've decided to sell it once finished. It's too nice, I'll be afraid of something happening to it. It's already gotten a few scratches just sitting in the garage. Mind you, I have layers of thick blankets on it and it still happened. Going to have the paint fixed one final time, then it goes to a friend's dealership on consignment.

Nice Ken, I put a bunch of freeway miles on today, A/C still works that tickled me to death. Boy and I went to the scenic overlook for some pictures. But it was so bright you couldn't get a good one, Oil leak is very minimal. Nothing went wrong. We had a great morning. It is alive now at least worth the years of waiting,

I bought better fans. Car wasnt liking being on the freeway a hour then going into traffic with the air on.

And i ordered parts for a vacuum pump for the brakes. They got hard sitting in traffic. Worked fine but they could be better.

LOL new fans are not louder. It does sound like a remote control plane now. The 10 foot long jobs. Turn these fans on and there is sheet flying under the hood and car. The condensor is unsealed and 2 1/2 inches from the radiator. If you drop a sheet of paper in front of it. Sticks right to it.

The caddy vaccum pump is a winner 8 sec it is done. That was in a test with a 15 foot long line on it. I am foolin with that now.

Well I been driving this thing alot working out the bugs. I about got the oil leaks whooped now. Distributor was most of it running down the back looked like other things leaking.

It gets real hot of course. I am told just put some miles on the old girl she will simmer down. I got a motorcycle now a 650 Nighthawk. So I took the chevelle out then rode the bike. Here is the old girl sitting between rides. She is a monster.

Temps are in the 70's I put a water wetter from royal purple in it. It is hanging in there now not heat creeping. I got oil leaks down to a low roar.

I been driving it putting some miles on it. Gets a whopping 9 mpg now.

Well I got a Weiand water pump that seemed to fix the heat creep sitting still. Almost 500 miles on it now and time to change the read end grease.

Changed the rear end oil, checked tranny fluid level, checked engine oil level, brake fluid level, cleaned rims and dressed tires, tightened up the console, adjusted the e brake cable, put a bead of weld on the tailpipe-to-mufflers connection. Just thikering…
