Spring is around
the corner
As we had springlike temperatures today in
the middle of winter, I decided to wake my
cars from hibernation and drive them around
the block. I put the batteries in only to
find out that the one from the 67 was quite
empty and the car would not start. I wanted
to charge it with a battery charger but it
also quit working... So I had to use jumper
cables and eventually I could start the 67.
The 58 also had problems starting up as the
fuel pump needs to be replaced. I already
have a new one lying around which I will
install soon. After some cranking the 58
came back to life and ran beautifully. I
took all the cars for a quick spin around
the block and after they were fully warmed
up they went back into storage for about
6-8 more weeks. Can´t wait for spring to
come!
I also installed a new hood emblem on our
96 Roadmaster as a wrong one was on the car
when we bought it.
It was great to work on the cars again.
