I'm doing the Happy Dance!
« on: June 06, 2009, 08:14:05 PM »
Took the convertible out today for it's maiden voyage.Went a little far for the first time (80 miles round trip) but it was running soooooo good.Now you have to remember,this car has sat in a building since 1978.I tuned it up,rebuilt the carb,changed belts and hoses,had the radiator recored,flushed the motor and cooling system,new water pump and stat.The car never missed a beat.Have a issue with a bad tire and a brake pedal not to my liking but i will address these this week.I'm just a happy little camper!    Tom

I'm not happy and not dancing anymore!The ONLY part of the cooling system i didn't replace?You guessed it,the heater core.Started leaking today.I by-passed it but it looks like crap.The inner fender has to be dropped down i believe to access the core.Oh well you know what they say about idle hands.   "Leaking in Cleveland."

That seems to always happen to me also Tom...   :-\

When you make everything else stronger, it's always bound to break in the weakest spot.
