My Big Red 72 Imperial finally home and has brakes

[DocMcNeedy]

Big Red finally home after brake booster and new master bench bled and installed in mother-in-law garage... to shop for full brake bleed real soon. I just wanted to drive her. Brakes feel good maybe 90%-95% at this point.

Way to go Doc!

You'll be driving her in no time!

 

[DocMcNeedy]

Thanks to my mother in law "Mercedes " for letting Big Red sit crippled in her garage for 5 weeks waiting for parts.

Is that her car?

 

[DocMcNeedy]

Yep...having her home under my roof feels pretty fantastic.

And is that a 70 Impala behind the Imperial?

Is that her car?

My blue '59...swapped spot with Big Red...

By the way it looks SOOOOO much better without the side pipes

Thanks. I agree. That was one of the first things to go. I have a stock steering wheel to replace that wooden GT. Have more interior work to do...did find an auto temp to replace those ugly toggle switches on dash.

That is one purdy Big Boned Gal!!!

Congrats Doc! I'm glad to see you better sorted and road ready!

I'd be happy as a pig in poop to own that beauty!

Its really a great feeling to drive these cars. Isn't it? I get in and drive mine every chance I get. I feel like maybe I'm driving it too much, but what the hell.

I love it. It's a beast...that front end is barge-like...and I have other large cars...But, no comparison. Hope to get her back out later today after work.

I'm impressed. Very impressed.
The car wasn't home one day and you started undoing all the PO's f***-ups, errors, and omissions. And correctly, too.
