Well, if that's the "price" you gotta pay. Time to start going through the engine. That way your next trip "payoff" can be a two month cruise....
 
Text drive today-

My fishing buddy Tito drove me for about 40 miles
in the Crypt Car.

Tons of fun and we hit 80 MPH !!

Maybe I finally have an operational car??

Chick magnet!!

Hey Senor Magnet,

See how much fun you can have with the hood closed?
 
I betcha he's already taken something apart and we'll see pictures of it tomorrow.
 
Tinster; I feel it surely must be time to change the Oil & "Oil Filter", plugs, plug wires, points, condensor, rotor, coil, water pump, feul pump, gas filter, gas tank, flush radiator (No, replace radiator), rebuild carbs (No, replace carbs), new battery, new starter.

What did I miss? You certainly don`t want to take any chances!!

I believe your just having "WAY TOOOO MUCH FUN"!!

Again, Best Wishes,

Russ

PS: Has the Mrs. taken a ride yet?
 
Now you can sell it back to Pedro.

The 50k is starting to make some sense now.

Way to go Dale, Wendy give him heck, "chick magnet" you have got one magnificent woman my friend.

I say you drive it to the crusher, see what Amos can do :wink:

Anyho, GREAT WORK DALE!!!!!

THANKS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT, KEEP EM COMING!!!!

Russ!! How ya doing?
I've already made those replacements at least one time, sometimes
more often. You forgot my rebuilt Dizzy, clutch, front and rear brakes,
new intake manifold, floor pans, carpets, front skid plate, front and rear
suspension, new teak dashboard, complete car wired, tires, emergency brakes,
all new U-joints, drive shaft, oil seals, spare tire, radiator, fuel tank,
seven fuel pumps, 2 batteries, fuel lines 4 or 5 times, new coil springs
and new shocks all around, replacment differential, front wheel breaings,
rear brake wheel cylinders, clutch master and slave, brake master cylinder
---just to name but a few minor fixes I've made..

I'll soon have 1,000 miles without a breakdown. Since I'm a rookie when it
comes to things auto mechanical- it is normal routine maintenance to replace
all the above parts every 1,000 miles?

No!! The MRS refuses to having thing to do with the Crypr Car.
She hates it with a passion.
