Saturday February 3, 2007Now that I have brakes I decided to take the 29 out for her first test drive since I purchased the car back in October of 2006. Over the last couple of months I have installed a 6vdc positive ground alternator and fixed the bulk of the electrical problems with the car. Basic things like lights, horn and newly installed flashers and turn signals are now functional. The brakes have been repaired with a rebuilt master cylinder and new front wheel cylinders. At this point only the front wheels are working but since I needed to turn the car around in my work space anyway, why not take her for a ride. Yahoo.... |

All in all the wife had fun and so did I. I now know what I need to attack and the transmission will come out at first opportunity. I have new disk pads for the drive shaft and maybe I will do the clutch but it doesn't appear to need this so I will probably hold off. Not a bad day with the old square box Plymouth.
