~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
Wanted to snag some pictures in front of the cars
450 miles to go
Back at it with the beauty til the morning.
I'm stoked! Out of something like 7k cars, it will be 1 of about 8 at the main stage.
