So I'm a bit late to the discussion, as usual. Curious as to the '64 Imperial designation - is it also a D body? It's my understanding that the same guy (re)designed the 64-66 models. Did he start with one platform then switch to another the next year? These early 60s Imperials have really...

Missed that one, was down in NC trying to clean up the mess there and get the house ready for market. Looks like it might get listed Tuesday, finally. We're going to try to get over to the BK meet later today, will depend how nasty the humidity gets with the 90s heat. Also have to load up crap...

Well, the deal got a little messy at the end due to a simple oversight by the local zoning commission. Seems all properties in this area are supposed to be on no less that 10 acres since it's considered agricultural. The regulation was passed in 1983 but the lots around here vary between 1-4...

Tom showed me some photos of his latest acquisition while we were sitting on the back bumper of a U-haul truck in a parking lot waiting to get into the house to unload a few things before closing. He mentioned that the interior was a little tired and a few other areas needed attention, but...

See it? You'll be able to drive it! Something I've had little success with. I think I did manage to get 4-5 miles on it since September. BTW Jim, closing is set for Thursday so you'll be seeing us soon. Timing on the car move was perfect - we've had strong storms through here the last two...

Indeed. Just the information exchange here alone is pretty much priceless if you're working on a C body. The camaraderie makes it that much better. I'm still waiting to meet Gary to talk aircraft and other cool items we touched on via the landline. Well....I was gonna see if you wanted to...

Well guys (and any gals who might be viewing).....as I type this, the Road Shark is on its way over to Gary/Wollfen's place to be stored and tinkered on by a fellow who knows these cars far, far better than me *and* does much better work, too! We've been discussing this since shortly after I...

Cruddy or otherwise-bad socket connections will do that, too. Increased resistance = longer flash time. Less resistance (like when one bulb blows), faster flash. Sometimes it's in a plug somewhere. And on rare occasions - the bulb itself, even though it's clean and looks/fits good - is...

I love my car, but it's not doing me a lot of good right now as it sits. So if it can help out in a pinch, at least we get some good out of it in the short term. Got a feeling it's going to end up with Gary/Wollfen in the very near future for storage and some tinkering. Saves Rip hauling along...

Congrats, and remember - I've got a 2 Dr HT 300 here if you want a pair. :D Along with what everyone else has said, I'd suggest stopping every hour at the most, just to check things. You can catch a potential problem before it becomes one just by stopping to stretch your legs, popping the hood...

I think the sail is inaccurate. You need to add a couple stacks like the Queen Mary has. Maybe some port holes. :D

Your grandmother is right - it's just stressful overall. Haven't lost a lot yet as far as 'stuff', a few broken odds 'n ends from the last move. The good thing is, it made me rethink a lot of stuff I had and resulted in shedding of quite a bit 8 years ago. Need to lose more, though - still too...

That's where I'm at right now John, but thanks to Gary/Wollfen I now have a solid backup plan. Selling really simplifies things a lot now and yes, I'd replace the shark later with a similar sibling. It's just a beautiful car, nice lines all around. As to moving being a pain - I read somewhere...

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and advice. And no offense taken on the selling realities. I know if I do sell it, I won't recover things like the transportation costs and time I've put into it. If I seemed desperate, I apologize - more like being almost blind-sided and trying to get...

Well, in the event that it doesn't get a serious buyer (and believe me - you'd have to be serious to want it), I'm going to drop C Body Bob a message and see if he can introduce me to his friend who has the hot rod business. I figure it can't hurt to talk to someone about getting at least enough...

Thanks Stan - exactly what I was looking for: clear and concise. Everything my mind isn't right now. Makes perfect sense, too - always a plus.

I've reached an abrupt crossroads with my '66 300 project: as of Friday evening I learned there is a move in my immediate future. I've got 2 months tops to deal with everything involved with this, including finding a home, moving my family, getting the current place ready and on the market, and...

Thanks Greg, will do. I'm pretty much convinced now that I'm going to have to disassemble all the electrical contacts, grounds, etc and clean them up due to the moisture damage inside. Getting a replacement heel pan welded into the passenger side where the physical damage from the leak is will...

So yes, it's been a couple months. Finally got a little time this past week and have the following updates. When we last checked in with the Road Shark, numerous bulbs and other simple tasks had been completed. And in typical style, as soon as something was fixed, something broke. At that time...

It actually is - I screwed up in my description because I saw the blue wire on the coil and confused it with the black/white tracer where I hooked up the wire. Doesn't matter though, as both sides of the ballast read 10.1 volts today! Something else to replace. Good news, though - after...
