Are you in Wisconsin now??? Where is that??? That LaSalle is huge!!!

 

looks like fun. how many cars are on this adventure?

 

Those that are riding with you in the back are gratefully dead.

 

We are in Illinois today. I don't know the car count, maybe 50? Will know more tonight or tomorrow. I've been driving all day and no chance to see what's going on in the world.

Seems that you're better off.

 

Yup.

 

In Atlanta Illinois,cool retro cafe there, The Palm,makers of great pies and more.
One of the repurposed Muffler Men that had been a Bunyon’s giant before being moved and dubbed “Tall Paul” by the locals there. A neat “ roadside attraction “

 

No doubt! Just looking at the side view, it'd be neat to shorten it the width of the back doors and make it a two door!

Y'all should have had some business cards made up and passed them out: "City Morgue, you stab'em, we slab'em"!

 

Yup, Jim's mortuary, you stab um, we'll slab um. Our prices are stiffer then our customers.

 

Saw this on Facebook. Enjoy the ride

 

Seeing since you've done this trip before Dave, you can be the official narrator!

 

And just down the road on Old Rt. 66 is Funk's Grove, IL a good place to get real maple syrup bottled locally.

 

Eric Rood took that picture.

The syrup place was another checkpoint, the sign that says halfway point of route 66. I guess they mean between Chicago and st Louis.

Guess yall the last ones to let someone down.

 

at Funk's Grove checkpoint.



We discovered late tonight that the fuel pump (a Holley blue off my 55 chevy) is leaking quite a bit, and we'll have to swap the spare (from my Chevy II) on in the morning.

We've been adding a gallon of water about every hour, now that it's not raining, it's pretty obvious that it's coming from the water pump. I add some more grease to the water pump bushing every time, too. Hopefully it won't get worse.

and now that it's warming up, we have top keep the radiator cap on tight, so it won't boil.

still driving ok. The brakes work well enough that I didn't hit that deer near the Chain of Rocks bridge tonight.

 

This needs a caption, Im not sure what it is, but looks like you guys have come to pick up the Hot dog

 

How can anybody look this serious on a LeMons Rally?

 

Mr. Hotdog asks Squirrel..."Hey is that thing Hearsed Equipped"... Ha, Ha, Ha

The new used pump doesn't leak as much

@Stogy - We need a "groan" button for that last post

 

I might have missed it, but would like to know for my own self-is that a 12v pump on a 6v system, and if it is, does it care?

 

Is the water pump leaking from the weep hole?

I’ve heard of guys parking the pump full of silicon from the weep hole to cough,cough ... ahem... “ fix” water pump leaks.

Maybe when you stop for the night fill it up and let it cure over night.

 

Thank you for taking us along your adventure .
