Good for you, it’s easy to have a cavalier attitude when you’re not the one who would have to find and pay for a new windshield.

 

I would be curious to know who you think pays for my windshields : )

 

Is the convertible windshield different from the coupes or sedans on these Chryslers?

 

That’s not relevant when you’re telling someone else to go get theirs broken

 

That's awesome man

 

Different then sedans for sure and it’s my car so if someone wants to think I’m a pansy for waiting a week or two before I drive it then a couple things come to mind:

1) It’s my car I’ll do what I want

2) I sure as fuck don’t care what someone else does with their car, therefore I sure as fuck don’t care what anyone thinks I should do with mine.

3) someone who has no idea who I am wants to call me names on the internet isn’t someone I have any interest in knowing anyways.

4) see # 1

Yep, we're related somehow.

 

I like the attitude

 

I drive the hell out of my cars and if I get a rock chip I get a rock chip but I’m not going out of my way to try...

And it runs. Ignore the fuel line and makeshift vacuum plugs, that’ll all be corrected, I live in a rural area and there is nothing close that’s open on a Sunday and I wanted to hear it run.

Great, now you'll be all cocky! Think you're better than me now?

 

Hah! I still have lots to do, build the proper fuel lines, reroute and clean up some plug wires, I have different valve covers to go on, I had full intentions of waiting until it was warm and wash the engine and engine bay and paint the engine, hence the turquoise intake.

Then....

Yesterday it snowed about four inches, I needed car therapy so I said fuck it and here we are.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, fuck all of that snow! It's been beautiful here. I think it looks great man.

 

Hey why don't you pull a Falcongeorge on that guy and officially ignore him!

But doesn't the insurance company pay for the replacement window? Would you have to search one out? I suppose there a limit on what they would pay? Just curious...

 

I’m not sure if there is a limit on the glass insurance....

Falcongeorge ? Isn’t he the guy who added himself to his own ignore list and just vanished ?

 

A day of firsts today...

First drive of the year

First top down drive of the year

First drive with the dual quads


Drove the car to work today, loved every minute of it.

Got the valve covers changed, some proper fuel lines made, choke hooked up.

Looking good!

 

Getting there, maybe one of these days I’ll even clean the engine bay!

And a working gas gauge...again! The float I previously replaced was full

With that dual quad on there will you have a hard time keeping the needle in the top 1/2 of the tank?

 

Don't; use that time driving/cruising. Then next winter when there's a foot of snow on the ground do your cleaning.

 

Gearing is terrible for bottom end power, doesn’t feel much different than the two barrel, definitely much better top end, (duh). The linkage is 1:1 and it pulls clean no matter when you stab the throttle, if you never opened the hood you wouldn’t know they were there!!

Ultimately it was all for looks anyways!

I wish! No heated shop so summer is my only car season!


I’ve put probably 300 miles on it already this year and haven’t even washed the dirt off from sitting all winter.

not much new other then driving the wheels off the big Chrysler, one of these days when I need a break from the Fargo it’s getting an altitude adjustment.

 

Rolled over 100,000 miles on the way to work this morning, I missed when it was all zeros. My four year old daughter insisted we drive the convertible today, who am I to argue?

I had to draw the line when she wanted the top down as it was minus 4 Celsius when we left the house. I did have the top down on the way home yesterday. The end of October the car and the Fargo will get put away for the winter.
