    Tightened the alternator belts, had a dead battery this morning. Charged the battery and tested the output, 14.5v.
    Much better

    Took the car out for first drive this year. Streets relatively dry, just little salt dust, sun shining, abt 35 deg. My intention was to start and let run, hadn't run in abt 5weeks. Once it was running, I knew I was kidding myself (been waiting for a day like this -- out we went for nice half hour ride. No issues, hope it stays like that -- If so, Lima Ohio, July trip on my agenda/calendar.

    And today this is what is left of my 75 4 door 250 parts car:

    All thats left of the 75.JPG
    I think I could have gotten the whole car in there if I didn't have the tool box in the bed. The doors and a few other little parts got thrown in my dad's truck for a second trip to the metal recycling yard.

    Moved the poor thing outside so I could clean the garage and do some maintenance on the motorcycle.

    I really want to see a picture of your car with the new spoiler.

    Have you had it on the highway yet? Is there a noticeable reduction in nose lift at speed?
    My son's 65 Falcon with no air dam or spoiler of any kind starts "floating" around 70-75 MPH. It's unsettling when a cross wind hits you.
