Not a big deal for most, but it has been a long, long, time since I've driven this car and it has become a top priority for me to be able to enjoy this car once again before I run out of 'gas'.
Nice going
love to a pic or two
The Idaho Andy I love the smell of race fuel in the morning

U.S. & an outfit in Washington state offered to make me one for free if I sent them my original (seems it's a one year only cable & they wanted to use mine for a model). Neither option worked for me so I came up with a "plan b". Back in the 70's, I worked as a motorcycle mechanic for a few years and it was very routine for us to make cables from scratch using an assortment of bulk supplies so it occurred to me that I might as well make my own for the 'Net. I was able to purchase a length of 2mm cable and a package of cable nipples for the grand total of $19.25 Cdn. The "new" cable is back on the car & seems to work just fine so, for anyone with a similar cable dilemma, I'd advise you to give it a try.

Nice work Harold, I still can't believe you can't find one at a fair price.

Ok, so last week I snuck the Coronet out for it' first drive and had a great time - took a buddy with me (he has a '40 Dodge D16 Special Deluxe sedan) and headed for our favourite wing joint. Today, the sun was shining temps in the double digits & all was well with the world. Good time to take my wife out for her first "official" ride of the season. Car running great, retrofitted clock working perfectly, newly sealed intake not leaking, new Magnums looking awesome - couldn't be better. Decided to go check out a fishing derby in Nearby Peterborough and enjoyed a large box of french fries while watching the anglers. Headed home and, while doing my post drive clean up, discovered that a sea gull had decided to dump it's dinner from the last three or four days on my trunk lid! Great coverage - a 5" diameter pile that radiated out to splatter the fenders on both sides AND the back window. Hope this isn't an omen as to how the rest of the season is going to be........or is that supposed to be good luck?? Sorry, no pics, I was in too big a hurry to clean it off before it caused any damage to the paint.
