Fury named Sherman

[SixtySix_Fury]

Hello,

I'm newest I had registered a while back then Forgot my password. Looks like there is a good wealth of knowledge here as I always run across it while doing searches.

I have a 66 Fury 1, 225 /6 w/ a 1bbl, owned it since '06 drove it till '08 as my daily untill I parked it because of issues with rad, Carb, and brakes. Yeah I drove the poor old man through two Canadian Prairie winters after lovingly being stored indoors for 24 before I owned it.



I fixed the rad issue last year by replacing the rad. Time and money happened at the same time so I'm doing the brakes, still drums, but it's what I can afford at this time.

Still having carb troubles, but it's came down to it being ****** up. I'm going to be swaping it out for a 2bbl to make it into a SuperSix. I got most of the parts I need, just need a few more.

By thee looks of things most of you guys got V8s, I guess I'm just odd man out

Leaning Tower of Power....LToP... that's cool, never heard that before. Quite appropriate.

And you call yourself a Mopar guy :nono:

 

[70NPORT]

oK, c'mon I've never owned a /6 before. I didn't know......BUT I knew exactly what he was referring to. That's gotta count for something. A non Mopar guy would have been clueless.

By the way, your car looks great going down the road, 100 degrees, windows down and the mufflers playing their song. Very Cool

Where, down rt.11????? Oh, wait the other day.....got it, thanks!. We keep meeting up there. Are you working construction or something back there in those Town Homes?

Yes, I am the project manager there in those apartment that are going up. Its been off and on there for 18 months. I am inn and out when they need me

 

[70NPORT]

Yea, I notice they kind of start building then stop, then start and so on and do forth. I'm sure we'll see each other again at some point. I caught you at miller time,lol. You may or maynot know but that straight strip of road there is notorious for tickets. Logan cops love sitting there at various spots. Even seen them sitting in the Kinder Care parking lot.

 

[polara71]

Yeah, I see them mostly at the top of the hill in the afternoon. My 21 ft pick up isnt built for comfort or speed. The only thing they'll get me on is no seat belt

Thanks for the warm welcome

It's Cat in the Hat in a Noose; as Shits N' Giggles I lenched him there after I got the car and his been there ever since.

Sherman named after a tank perhaps?

Ya, My brother started that one and it stuck It's approprate thou
(I have the Hood ornamint, but it is removed so it doesn't brake when stored.)
Slipped into the back of an '05 Sebring in '07 during the winter. I was on black ice coming up on a stop sign :s and the Sebring was taking it's time leaving the stop line. Alll I could do was lay on the horn as I had my wheel turned fully trying to hop the curb and get into the snow, but low and behold I lumber in at a whopping 5 MPH, it was like car curling and popped them into the middle of the interstection. Thankfully no one was hurt. The couple was older and the wife said "Lucky it wasn't on the high way as they'd be done and I'd still be able to drive away."

Still haven't gotten around to fix the bumper yet:confused3:


Sadly, Sherman was parked for our wedding but the wife got her brides maid to take this pic for us.

 

[polara71]

[detmatt]

No leg but what I can see looks damn good! Nice catch!

 

[polara71]
