Green Hotwheels Sreet Beasts....

Yup, I stood looking at the bare shell in my garage, for an hour yesterday..

 

I've one that more than once - go in garage, turn on radio, look at car for a period of time - don't find any one part of the project that really excites me today - turn radio off - go back in house

 

Exactly!! The list of modifications just gets longer and longer - I have enough projects to last me the rest of my life - I guess I'll have to drive it in my afterlife

 

Still not a happy camper, (driver that is) after the valve adjustments it does run better, but still not like it did the very first time I drove it, I can only hope the Pertronix dizzy I have coming in Thursday will help some, also looking into a carb, can't figure out if it's leaning out or what, does it around 2500 to 3000 rpm's, I know it can do better, it did at one time.....
From this

to barely being able leave a mark in first gear

And runs like crap!

Gotta figure this out quick.

 

Got my Logo Lights installed and working, pics after dark!!

 

Logo Lights, need some adjustments but for the most part they are there.

 

Looking good

 

Thanks Bob, I kinda like the behind the car look I have them mounted in, good thing is there was already threaded holes to mount the brackets in.

 

Ok, Those do look good. I may have to get a set

 

Lol, better hurry, he only has a few left.

 

Grabber runs great now! just in time for the Cruise-in

 

Sounds great

 

Sounds real good !

 

Thanks guys, on my little outing last night I stopped to get gas at a place I hardly ever stop at, it was late I was on empty and they were the only close station open, put $20.00 in the tank and started it up, pulling out of the station it started stumbling, spitting and sputtering, I was like , got down the road a bit and it finally cleared up, I think it was water in the gas I got, won't go there again, today it runs even better than it did when I did that video, taking it to the beach tomorrow, car show starts Monday.

 

Stopped at a gas station/store last night on my way home from the Cruize-in on the beach, this is the same gas station my Blue Grabber got totaled in front of, those gas pumps are the one's I was headed for sliding backwards and sideways that night, I just thought it would be a nice little tribute to the Blue Grabber to take the Green Grabber to that spot, I went inside to get a cold Dew, the lady behind the counter said "who's green car is that?" I said mine, she said "is that a Maverick? can I get a picture of it?" I said yeah go ahead, she said "my first car was a Maverick" I guess I made her night, she seemed so happy just to snap a pic!
The Green Grabber and I paid our respect's to the Blue Grabber and went home.
