    Morning folks! :coffee:

    Spent last evening working at a friends shop on old cars. We've been getting together once or twice a month for nearly 20 years now to work on cars in his collection. Last night, we did some troubleshooting on a Sunbeam from somewhere in the early '60s and then worked on getting a '63 Lincoln convertible running. That thing is a beast. I swear, I could fit one of my Fiat's in the trunk. In the end, it would run, but only if you poured fuel in the carb. Needs a new fuel pump. But, we were happy to hear it run for a bit since it has not been started in close to a decade.

    They need to be ran. Regularly.

    You're going to drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln.

    I need to spend some quality time under my truck touching up rust before it eats the thing up. I don't know what kind of hardware Ford uses, but it just seems like every stud and bolt just rusts away. The cab is getting some spots too and that will eat through the thing in short order if I don't keep up with the maintenance.

    That Lincoln is interesting. It's got the suicide doors and a lot of electronic gizmos in it. Once it's running, we need to see if the top still works. If it does, it might be time to take it for a ride.

    Edit: I was wrong. I think it's a '66 based on the grill.
