Picked Chalky up this afternoon from my buddy Ben's shop after what turned into bending new tranny cooler lines, a new radiator, distributor rebuild, and a tune-up. First stop: The gas station. Then my wife got home and we went for a cruise. He's still running a bit rough but after sitting several years, I think I'm still burning out the gunk. Was already running better after about an hour.
Oh, and I went to town on the rear passenger fender that had been spray painted with a mix of red and silver in different places. A little graffiti remover and elbow grease and all the silver is off and the red is coming, too. Some pretty cool patina/primer under there. Much better than odd spray paint. Small steps. Pics of that tomorrow.
Anyway, here's a few pics from the inaugural cruise.
