Yesterday I backed Dino out of the garage, and blasted the winter dust off with the air hose, and did several first of the season cruises around town .... filling it up with gas .... gotta do the mandatory cruise down our little down town once, twice, thrice....! Gotta stretch its legs and shoot out to Interstate 40 for a quick fast blast,,, then back around. Oh, got 2 more packages that missed the PO pick up so might as well do a PO run. Hmmm. The wife Cheryl's home from work ... might as well do a Coupe de Pooch Cruise with her and the Youngin's. So... the season is here... and Dino and the Pooches are ready to Let the Good Times Roll!

Oh, this is one of my very good mates with his 59 Ford. A very angry 460 in this ol girl.
Very cool mobile barber shop.
I look like a fat bastard in that pic..... mainly cause I am.
This is a small clip of the day..... good variety of cars, except everything is wet. Good range of USA iron and some local home grown classics as well.
Looks like you had a good turnout. Nice clip and cool music. Was looking for your car. I saw a reflection of one in the green car about 9 seconds but don't think that is yours.
Well, after driving in the rain for most of last Sunday, the Fleetwood is back to her sparkly self.
Washed the car, whitewalls cleaned, some leather treatment, well, over the leather....doh. Some Amoral over the dash, polished the wheel trims, Windex on the glass. Wiped down the engine bay with a couple of old polishing cloths, and then..... some Turtle-Wax over the 54 year old paint.
Man, she really shines, like a star... except.... Because the first owner bounced it off the gate post on occasion, with the extra shine, you can see its had more hits than Elvis himself and some of them really stand out now.
We're heading out soon, for a Cars n Coffee evening run tonight.
I had Jerry Lee Lewis playing while I was polishing too, holy crap, with some snappy fast music playing, i reckon I near had smoke coming off the polishing cloths too.
Only a mere 78 mile round trip tonight, but looking forward to it anyway.
I must remember what the camera is for tonight.

There appears to be some kind of felt washer around the top of my oil dipstick, presumable to seal off the dipstick tube. I've looked around the usual parts suppliers but came up empty. There's not…Continue

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
