Well guys,  the car is essentially done.  At the end of Feb, I took it back down to Northern Muscle for a final detail job.  After that it went over to Westside Motors in Thief for alignment and AC charge.  And now with this warm weather I have been cruising it around Warren trying to work the bugs out before any big trips this summer (BTTF's and Meltdown Drags).  So far it drives great and rides nice.  I have to change speedo drive gears, but that was expected.  Anyways, we are off to Duluth next weekend for the Motorhead Madness show.

Could be in Michigan too.... or Ohio..... or New Jersey.... isn't this internet thingy supposed to be about anonymity?

Isn't having the coolest post '60 wagon in a state with less than 700,000 people kind of like being the smartest kid in the remedial math class....... ;D

Hit my 1st "Bump-in-the-road".  Right front wheel bearing decided to crap out last night on the way to El-Roco cruise night.  Got it towed back home thanks to a friend / co-worker.  Looks like there was a casting flaw in the rotor, a nice crack developed next to the inner bearing race, and a chunk came loose and took out the outer bearing.  Aren't Old cars Fun???

It is a conversion created by a gentlemen out of northern Wisconsin.  He is Hotrod428 on the HAMB and he sells conversion kits for fullsize Fords and Studebakers.  Essentially it is a Granada rotor with Monte Carlo calipers.  The website is below.  I am really happy with the kit otherwise.  The rotor of course was a chinese replacement from the local Auto Value.

I like it.  I got it really cheap from a co-worker whose dad had it and was upgrading to a proper 4 post lift.  It fits nicely in my shop, a 4 post would be to big for the shop, and I am too chicken shit to drill into my floor for a 2-post lift (hot water lines and all in the floor).  I really like being able to roll it around, even with a car on it.  I am currently using it as an assembly table for the '32 Plymouth I am now building.  I did the same thing with the Merc. Put the bare chassis on it and start building from there.  It is the perfect height for doing stuff like that.
