Jerry Roberts Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 Good job Joe , It is always a pleasure when things work as they should . It makes me want to get out for a drive too . Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks. It's really amazing to be driving this thing after all this time. It almost feels like I shouldn't be doing it. It's really weird that now it is an actual operative automobile that will go at highway speeds and get me to my destination reliably. I owe a lot of guys on this forum thanks. You especially, Don. You were one of the first people I consulted on this project. It's been a great long-distance collaboration. 1 Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Congrats on the long trouble free trip. Looks like I missed you by a couple hours. I drove back to Buffalo from D.C. this AM - on the GW Parkway, too (at 6:00 am, tho). Quote
Niel Hoback Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 To quote an old ad I saw," Plymouth builds great cars". Congratulations, you earned it. I expect your knuckles show it, too. Quote
Frank Elder Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Joe, what a wonderful day it was! Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Glad all went smoothly for you Joe. It is fun to get out and drive these oldies. Your friend's Chevy looks sharp too. Quote
1940plymouth Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Like Hannibal Smith used to say as he was lighting his cigar, "I love it when a plan comes together" congratulations Joe an a job well done Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks, guys. Niel, yes, my knuckles are just getting their color back. The trip down there was more stressful not just because of the heavy traffic but because I had never driven this car at highway speeds for long periods. I was reluctant to go over 60 and the cars behind you and the ones blowing past you just make you nervous. By the time I set out on the return trip I was much more comfortable with what the car could do and I cruised between 65 and 70. That kept me pretty much running with everyone else, but I was still in the slow class. People seem to think nothing of going 90 or faster, which I know some of them were doing. My rule is to stay off the interstates unless I can't avoid it. 2 Quote
oldodge41 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Congrats Joe. The car looks great! Quote

Chester Brzostowski Posted September 1, 2014 Report Posted September 1, 2014 Great Job, Can't wait to see the car on the 27th. It looks like all the work was well worth it. Congratulations, Chet... Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Posted September 1, 2014 I'm looking forward to it, Chet. Quote
