    Charged the battery...again. I think this Optima has about had it.

    Replaced the fuel pressure regulator and drove it home:drive:

    Im going to have to check into that...my Red top got a little tired so i gave it to my dad for his chevelle & got a yellow for my car..hoppefully that trick does it.

    oh and what i did today was started putting the front suspension under it. UCA's, springs, shocks, LCA's..backing plates brakes ect..then i looked at my single piston brakes and thought "this sure seems wimpy" might need to spend more money now :) and also noticed i need 1 new upper balljoint for my pass side before that all goes in.

    I have 4 different cars, so I made that. It's for Fords that are less collectible. The Galaxie is debatable, but I think it's still a misfit. It's like driving a land yacht! Most the members there are Pinto and Escort (yes Escort). I think Maverick's, and the rest of the cars I have, are misfits to the community at large. I LOVE MY OLD FORD MISFITS LOL

    Thanks, did I mention I LOVE pics of these cars!

    Compare the cost of a bumper for a 70 Mustang to one for a 70 Maverick. Look at the price of a cooler looking Maverick over a Nova and the Nova goes for a LOT more money. Look at my 70 Galaxie and a 70 Impala or Monte Carlo (half the price restored, well Galaxie maybe 2/3).

    I'm dang proud to own my Dearborn iron and love everyone one of them! We got some wicked deals on our cars. Like my 1978 Mustang King Cobra, heck no where close to other pre-1974 years. Yep, love my deals with my misfits! And I like them better!!!! :D
