You have a 72, rebuilt engine and trans , new shocks-struts, good rubber, rebuilt brakes, stainless fuel lines, converted fuel pump, solid body. basicly a stocker in good shape. You're gonna take a trip from Phoenix to Birmingham. And back. Days of slightly illegal speed. What would you bring? What would you do to prepare besides oil change , valve adjustment, the obvious stuff?? In search of the dream. After all , a teener is nothing if not a touring car, is it not?

QUOTE(sb914 @ Jan 14 2023, 01:04 PM)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Or you can do the spare parts thing and try to bring one of everything that could possibly fail. Don’t forget all the tools you might need. Car will be 300 lbs heavier, slower, and will have to work harder to get to your desired speed. Might just as well tow the spare parts car with you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Shake it down we’ll with lots of local mileage and you’ll be fine. |
