Default Finally... my 1966 Mustang is back!

After waiting 2 months for extensive brake work (now power drums with dual mc), clutch work, fuel line work, and tons of little things to make it roadworthy... the 66 is back. It drives much better now (for a 41 year old car) and it runs strong (once it warms up... I need to fix that). I cruised back in it yesterday. I'm going to rebuild the front and rear suspension first, fix the door locks and go to town on the interior this winter and rebuild the tranny and engine. It runs strong, but has some problems. Vail's classic cars in Greenfield fixed A LOT of little things. Also, I need to fix the leak coming out of the rearend (very small fluid leak). I'm happy

My car never seems to have a lot of power when it is cold. Once it reaches normal operating temperature it sings.

Note, I drive a Kia Sephia, 1997!

Problem fixed! Just had to adjust the choke setting. It's loose, so the chose setting keeps shifting... I just have to adjust that and it will be fine. Runs strong!
