70 T/A finally home

**A12pilot** · #1 01-03-2015, 08:49 AM

Hey Gang,

FINALLY! The car is home in the garage. Where am I? Not home in the garage, of course [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img] But the cool thing is I have a long LAX overnight today and the people I bought the car from are meeting me for dinner. So I get to meet them before I even see the car!! Can't wait to get home and get some pictures. This is the only teaser I have right now since Kelly pulled it in the garage and it's raining down in H-Town. I have a few things I want to correct right away (black out mufflers, correct a few things under the hood, replace the blower motor with an NOS unit, idle solenoid). Two Six Packs in the garage...a Tweleve Pack! Hmmmm...maybe I need a 6pk Roadrunner and Cuda so I can have a "Case" of Dodges in the Garges!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Are the mufflers supposed to be blacked out? Or is that just owner preference?

Steve,

Yup. They are supposed to be blacked out, but these weren't when installed. I actually came across an NOS set, so when the finance department approves Article 15: Car Budget and Husband acquisition Spending, I'll snatch them up. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] If I can add a rider to that amendment, I may snag an NOS idle solenoid too! The car is the typical over restored deal, so I'll be correcting everything that's not correct detail wise. Undercarriage detailing, etc. Just to get the car to the next level. The fun stuff instead of the headache stuff! I just got home today, so I'll have to spend some time seeing what the game plan will be. I have a leaky 6pk Bee that needs attention, and everyone needs an oil change. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] So much fun!

Cheers [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Hmmmmm.....you bring up a very intriguing argument, Herr Ashton. Bringing the Bee last year was a pretty impressive undertaking that I did to see a good friend in addition to displaying my "please touch" car. I'll be there this year no doubt, but not positive about bringing a car. Took her for a spin today then jumped in the A12 and took that out. A plethora of carburetion that undoubtedly blew a hole in the ozone layer around Houston ! Ssssnnnniiiffff.......aaaaaahhhh! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
