Got my new car today!



Thank you
How wonderful to have good news
I am OK but my sister in law said I should ask my doctor to check me out just in case.
The x-rays showed nothing and I presume that is true.

Against the better judgement of my fiancial advisor, I proceeded to purchase my new 1964 today.  I say new because that's what it is!  27k on the clock and stored inside the entire time.
 
I redid the belts, wheel cylinders, soft brake lines, and power steering hoses today.  I'll go after the radiator & heater hoses tomorrow and do a light polish with the polisher.  There are a few scratches on the car, but otherwise it is immaculate.  The BF Goodrich tires that I bought 2 years ago for the 1960 project are now on the car and look dynamite.  Handle well too.
 
I got a chance to drive the car tonight, and it was a real dream.  Anybody that claims the 4 drums don't work well is all wet.  Those things really grab!  The car is virtually silent and felt really luxurious.  It reminded me yet again why I feel so strongly that these are magnificent cars.
 
Dick B, or Kerry or ?? suggested installing a tire air vlave into the brake master cylinder cap to allow one to force the brake fluid through the system, and I tried this today.  It worked so well that it will become my standard method for replacing fluid in brake lines from now on!
 
Photos and story on the way.
