Well, my radiator guy told me he couldn't put another row of tubes in. I don't know if that's true, or not; he said something about it being an aftermarket radiator, and already having extra rows. But he did say something interesting -- what may have caused it to blow with the new motor, is the ther...

Ed Eckerson wrote me with this question: Somewhere in my archives I have the listing for the 'POLICE SPECIAL' ie: heavy duty suspension option for civilian cars Do you recall where it was listed??? It's in 'fragments' in the 59 Supplement 12" BRAKES 6 LEAF SPRINGS HEAVIER torsion bars H/D 1 1/2...

What a kewl thing, to step out of the kitchen into the garage to work on Faulkner! Don't have far to go for a beer now :P Today was the first day in quite a while I actually did some work on the old boy. I took Roger's advice and, instead of trying to tune it up, get the leak problem solved first; s...

Oooooooooh, those wide whites.....

None other than...

...The Fury needs a lot of work to be put back on the road... You are welcome to stop in and have a look at her if you are ever in the area.

Thanks,
Erin

OK, so maybe it's not his ride -- but perhaps his daughter's!

Roger wrote:Hi Dan,
Steve sent me these many pictures to show the (great) job he did building a shipping crate. You had asked for photos, so I am sharing them with you.

we are all breathing a collective sigh of relief now that Faulkner is finally with his owner. Your car looks like it's grinning in last year's photo.. Thanks, Roger. Actually, I'm the one who's doing all the grinning these days! We had a big thunderstorm last night, but the garage stayed nice and d...

And I see that you drank a lot, probably garage building stress
In last years picture you did not have any bottles in the green bucket

Oh, the bottles were there, they were just in another bucket!

I went to the garage last night, and pulled Faulkner's battery... Wow, he was covered in dust! The walls of the garage units don't go all the way to the top, I must have a contractor in the unit next to me. (Hey -- I wonder if it's the slimeball contractor who took my garage money :evil: ) Charged u...

will you have Matthew trowel on the DriLoc this summer? Actually his dad is the plasterer... Actually, Faulkner has other plans for Matthew 8) No, that white paint is UGL DryLok. We haven't had a good rain in a while, we'll see how it helps. Also, I flashed the wall to my neighbor's gutter on the o...

This seems like the perfect kind of thing to ask George Laurie to reproduce, Dean -- he's "down under" where you are. But then, there's so many MoPar parts folks would like him to reproduce... As you know, these parts are like hen's teeth, and even though you see them once in a while on eB...

Last January, when the first mason fell off the planet and things looked really bleak, I wrote: (*sigh*) I don't think I'm supposed to have this garage. Maybe I'll just chuck the rubble back in the trenches, and forget about it. A lot has changed since then. The railing around the deck just went up ...
