What have you done to your wagon lately? (Let's keep the thread going!)

Yesterday I took apart two carbs to make one good one to put in the ol 72 ranch wagon, got them soaking in a Pine-Sol solution. I've seen it done a few times on YouTube, and it appears to be working pretty well. Anyone else used this method before?

 

We’re also patching up “rat holes”

 

I'm not sure what I'd hate more: carb cleaner or Pine-Sol. I guess if you keep your work area well-ventilated, it won't matter that much. But either one beats Berryman's for not smelling the stankiest.

 

Finished the tank Friday night. Saturday morning we took the ‘58 down the street to the butcher shop then back into Florissant to the produce stand so it has earned the grocery getter name.
We ended up going to the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show Saturday afternoon. While waiting for the Blue Angels we got to see and greet the the guy who’s running across the United States. We ended up driving it about 6 hrs.
Sunday was cleaning inside, outside, under the hood and about 2 hrs. drive time.
A guy from a subdivision nearby stopped in to look at the car. He has a 65 Galaxie 500.
Today was fixing a couple of lighting issues and foil insulation on the front floorboards.
Making progress and it’s driving nicely.

 

nice work, she lookin good

 

Thank You!

 

It’s nice to be able to finally turn the key and go…

 

I agree!
Great to hear that you're using it the way the Good Lord intended.

 

Yes! Good things started happening since I put Him in charge…

 

*note: the ignition switch is a little worn so it doesn’t need a key.

 

Started the foil insulation yesterday. Tonight we build an air conditioner out of an old ice chest.

 

I started mocking up the interior in “the back back”

More rust removal, more cutting and grinding, more metal fab, more welding.
