Man, I never thought I'd actually see the day, but I dollied my Challenger up to Walkerton on the weekend and actually drove it around town and into the car show they had. I figured I was a shoe-in for the "not nearly finished" prize. Since Nick and I put the new wiper motor in Friday morning and I took it Friday afternoon, I was a wee bit apprehensive about driving it 2 hours each way with zero run time on it. I spent 8 hours Thursday rough prepping it and epoxy priming it to at least make it a semblance of one colour- satin black- mostly
Even though it's not one of the "desirable" years, it was still a funny feeling to have complete strangers, and in one instance a 12 year old girl, say "nice car mister!". We set the timing Friday and you don't even really need to touch the gas pedal to start it. Amazing. It'll all have to come apart again this winter for the real painting, but I hope to get it over to Moparfest if possible. Keep an eye out for an old car with an old fart driving it Jas! LOL
