The new shoes are back from the polisher and the car is finally buttoned up sans some final detailing before RRC. I will tell you these wheels are close but the shop assured me they won't rub and if they do, they will fix it on their dime. We'll see.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Yeah, from Facebook so I don't have to type it over again. There is a photo album for it there as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

There are a handful of days in your life that you can recall and say, "THAT day kicked ass!" My wedding day. The day Holly was born. And today. After 20 years of hoping and trying to get this car to come home, the deal was made today. The 60 second story...My grandmother bought this 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500 brand new from what was then, Madison Ford on McDowell. It was the only new car she ever owned. She owned it until the day she died in '92. Much to my dismay, it was sold to a family friend shortly after she passed. I have been trying ever since then(yeah, 20 years of stopping by, letters etc) to get the car back. Kathy even tried to buy it for me as a surprise for my 40th BDay but they weren't ready to sell. I drove by the car on Tuesday just to make sure it was still there and the owner was outside. I got out to say hi and my jaw dropped when she told me it was time. I rode in this car as a kid and even got to drive it a few times. It will enjoy some more time being retired before I can get to it but at least it is safely back in the family!

I was going to ask, you got a new boat? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The only Grandmother I knew, passed away in '84. She had a 1950 Chrysler Windsor 4-door sedan that my grandfather acquired new from his own car dealership back in Pennsylvania. The car only had 30k on the odo and it was near mint. I wanted it, but my mom sold it to my grandmother's handyman (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Looked similar to this one

Great car Mark. I was raised by my grandparents so this car was my childhood....not just a car I saw on holidays. There is still a scratch on the hood from the hand brake on my BMX bike as I was riding into the carport. BTW, 25,100 original miles on a 50 year old car. Back then she didn't go very far and if they did, they took my grandpa's truck.

Well Fuch.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Some projects you are the windshield. And some you are the bug. Looks like I am the bug this time around. The fuchin' tires rub if I drive aggressively enough. Which is to say, they did rub. And the car will be heading back to the shop. Not in time for RRC, but yeah...back it goes.

So, does this mean you'll be driving the old Ford to RRC? And don't even THINK about not coming!!!

When setting up the rear, first be sure the alignment settings are final. Then
remove the shock/spring and you will be able to move the arm through the
whole range. (If stock rubber bushings it will require force).

Use rough math to see how much more it will compress while cornering.
i.e. (700lb weight of other rear all transferred) / (180 lb spring) = 3.9"

Leave at least 1/4" extra for sideways tire deflection. It probably should be more
for street tires.
