Title: IT DRIVES!!
Post by: crelledge on June 27, 2020, 02:46:53 AM
No questions or anything in this post for the moment... just had to let you all know that tonight, for the first time since 1972, our 30-U drove around the block under its own power! It was an amazing feeling and made all those days where you didn’t feel like you are actually accomplishing anything totally worth it. Today I managed to put in a new rebuild kit for the master cylinder, cut a temporary plywood floorboard, mount and wire the dash, and take it for a (short) drive. Obviously still miles and miles to go with the interior, body fitment, paint, door/window actuators, wipers, etc... But it’s a  huge milestone to know that this car’s got its groove back. Y’all have helped me a ton with it too, so thank y’all so much! I’ve really grown to like the community here and how helpful everyone is. Anyway, it’s now beer o’clock.

Happy Friday Y’all
