Can't be having the 5g’s in my gas.

Feel like I need to clarify I'm joking because 2025. Let's be honest, we all know 5g is a lot safer than the real danger, Tylenol…

Kiddo's are not joining today, but brought the Fuji X-pro3 for some car show shots.

Awesome day with the kids at Holley Ford Fest

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 20:34:08 -0500

We were featured in Holley's coverage today:

The first thing you notice isn’t the car — it’s the family. Lucas Freeman leans on the fender of his ’65 Ford Galaxie, kids Elianna (4) and Fletcher (2) orbiting around him like they own the place. The Galaxie wears its age honestly, a layer of sun-baked Kentucky patina that looks right at home among the shiny paint jobs at Ford Fest.

Lucas is from Scottsville, just thirty minutes over the hill from Beech Bend Raceway, so this wasn’t a cross-country trek — but don’t mistake this for a “car show only” cruiser. “I’ve probably done at least 20,000 this year,” Lucas said, matter-of-factly. “It’s basically my daily driver.”

The Galaxie started life with a 352, but when that engine started to feel tired, Lucas decided it was time for an upgrade. “I put a 390 in it. Added bug racks, gave it a little flare, and left the original paint.”

Under the hood sits a four-barrel Holley carburetor — nothing fancy, just the kind of bolt-on that keeps an old Ford happily fed. “Big fan of the four-barrel Holley,” Lucas said. “It just works.”

~1300 miles of classic car driving in 5 days

Had an absolute blast. Going to convince Meg we all need to do Cruising the Coast next year. Will need to get AC in the 4 door for the kids before that.

A few issues on the trip, but nothing major:

Loose wiring causing come grounding issues. Buttoned things up and seems fixed.
Burning some oil. The Galaxie is not used to this kind of driving, likely need to freshen the engine up in the near future.
Had to tighten my driver's side motor mount. Was a bit loose.
Battery give up in Fort Wayne, IN on HRPT Day 3, likely due to the heavy traffic and heat. Made sure to get a nice and proper red top this time. Snagged an alternator just in case.
Tire blew out a mile into Michigan at the end of HRPT Day 3. James had a spare and we continued to the hotel. Got new tires the next morning at Discount Tire.
Exhaust hanger is sloppy and needs tightened up after barreling home on rough interstate roads.
Headliner is sagging bad now due to having all the windows down and absolutely motoring home on the last day

Last stop before home!
