Default Made it to Good Guys... barely.. Penny's first time on the town.

Fixed the trans as mentioned in the other post and I band-aided the oil problem as best as I could to make the trip.

Then the alt had a problem charging. Seems "sparky" shorted out the part of the computer the triggers the alt. I know of a work around using a resistor but didn't have time. My car likes a LOT of juice to run. Anyways, we did make it to the Good Guys Del Mar show and we will recarge the battery before Sunday.

Big thanks to Best of Show Coachworks for all the help and to all those that got her on the street..

On the way to the show:


At the show from behind:


We had to cobble together an interior.. this will all be redone later but will look mostly the same:


Under the lights. This was my first indoor car show in 20 years or so. Nice to not be sweltering under the sun. She certainly will never be this clean again. lol



If anyone here is at the show be sure to say "howdy". I'm going to be there all day Saturday and Sunday

With this done I will have a spare second to get caught up on mailing, phone calls and emails... I'm pretty beat right now.
