Ride

[old rat 49]

The official first ride. After 8 months. Engine runs, Transmission shifts,goes down the road, steers and stops. What a wonderful day. Still a long way to go though.

Thanks. Ed I have every piece except rocker trim. It was a very complete car. Totally rebuilt floor and now just have outer rockers to replace and repair old accident damage in front of drivers door.

Shes a beauty, but then, I am partial to 2SD.

Man, that's great! Nothing like the first ride after working on one for a

while. Should make a nice car once you get the other stuff done.

I had one of those two door sedans back in the 1970s. I should have

kept it as it was pretty nice......but I wasn't that smart back then.

Probably paid something like $250 for it. Ah, well, hindsight is always

good.....

Niel, We could just swap and you'd have something to do and I could spend my time building a new Teardrop to pull behind it.

If my memory serves me I paid thirty five bucks for my first P-15 (two door coupe and I bought it from a Buick dealer) in 1964. It was the rare 5 cylinder zero oil pressure car that did show a little oil pressure after adding a can of STP on every fill-up. As a high schooler I drove that 5 cylinder car 40 miles from home (one way) more than once. After all the abuse I gave it a rear spring finally broke and I sold it for fifteen bucks. Sure would like to find out if it survived and is alive and well today.

Nice ride.

It appears you have a little "astro ventilation" on the rocker panels.

:)congrats on your first ride!

[old rat 49]

That is to make it lighter and go faster. Rebuilt floors and now on to both rockers.
