Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration
Well no progress on old blue, but I did get the 56 loaded up and trailered down to my shop (in progress). It hasn't run since about 2006, 3 of the brakes were frozen up so we backed off the pads and knocked them loose. It got its first bath in many years and I even tried a test patch of Meguires #7 on the hood with fantastic results. This project will be "fix what needs fixing" and leave the rest alone, just clean it up and get it safe and enjoyable. The trucks name has always been RIP, because he has twice now slept for 20 years and been revived. Rip was bought new by my great grandpa, so my kids will be the 5th generation to enjoy this truck, I'm beyond happy.
