    No, I'm not singing an old cowboy song but I'm refering to getting the T-Bird back on the road.
    After about 3 years of setting idle (the car, not me) I threw the charger on it, dumped some gas down the carb and with a little bit of verbal coaxing the old 'Bird fired up.
    Once it had warmed up I drove it up and down the road a bit, tranny and brakes are in great working order. I want to plate it and take it in and find out where all the exhaust noise is coming from.
    It could be a bad donut, cracked manifold or ...who knows.
    I quit driving it because it was getting too load and I couldn't afford to get it fixed. I still don't really have the money but after driving it again I really want to get it back on the road.
    Hopefully in a week or 2 I can get it done.
    So you may be seeing more of me on here and maybe at a few shows.

    So........................think you can just drop out of sight and waltz back in here and expect to be welcomed back with open arms? FAT CHANCE!!!................it's going to cost you. I don't know about the others but somewhere around $35,000 will soothe my hurt feelings. Or....... maybe just stop over and say your sorry.:rolleyes::cool::D
