  • Build 'em to drive.......

    Well it's been a couple of weeks since
    the '55/409 project has been on the road.

    Lots of tweaking etc.

    Holiday weekend ...did an 80 mile round trip.
    Temps stayed between 170-180...excellent.

    80 miles..........12 gallons of gas
    ;D

    Ok.....got work on that mpg thing

        dang, you get fantastic mileage.. what's your secret? (no really, most of my project cars are lucky to get 5 - Buicks are powerfully thirsty).

            It was last weekend and didn't make the trip.......some family
            stuff came up and had to opt out.

            Couple of my buddies went and they said
            the weather was great the whole time.

            Hoping for next year.

              I've got a road trip for you. We'll stop by Friday morning and you can follow us to Iowa. :D

              Seriously though, after the Tour we'll have to meet up at a cruise some weekend. You going to Fenton this Friday?

                180 F

                have not seen that cool in 20 years.
                the 190-210 thermostats are frying at everything...

                it is less bung in the heads over some years.. but do remember the 180s for the iron v8s.
