Woke up yesterday and figured that since I had to get gas in the 66, might as well take the day off and cruise. Drove to Long Beach Island (Surf City), checked on the beach house had some lunch and drove back. Great day cruising through the Jersey pinelands with the big block and sidepipes screaming off the trees. Its been 20 years since I last drove it any distance to just enjoy. Oh yeah - we don't need no stinkin' radio!
Only a couple small problems cropped up. Ran a little warm - outside temp was almost 90 though. Gotta get the steering box rebuilt. Also, drove through one of those speed signs that tell you how fast you are going. My speedometer was registering 60 but, I was only doing 41. When I got home I pulled out the speedometer drive gear in the trans and ordered up the right one so I will be at least close.
Great Day! Bonnie (wife) wasn't thrilled since she wanted to go but, had to be at work. Beach house this weekend with the Yukon but, come to think of it, I might be feeling a little ill on Tuesday - what do you think!?!
DRIVE EM!
