Started Lexi up and took her out for a spin today. No issues. Felt good to get behind the wheel again. After storage the tires had not lost any air pressure. Inflated to 40 psi 6 months ago to park and all still dead on at 40 when backed out of storage to adjust tire pressure for driving. Clay/Lexi

 Glad to hear that Lexi is finally out and about again. Bet you were thrilled about that too!

Yes I am and you helped to keep her on the road buddy. Now we all want to learn about Norma Jean's maiden voyage some day soon, with you at her helm. Clay/Lexi

  I'm afraid that day is still a long way off yet. She probably won't be getting the full restoration that I had hoped to do, due to economic factors beyond my control.
 But I'm still plugging away at the parts to get her back to working order. Trying to fix the temperature sensor that goes on the evaporator case right now. I finally got the nichrome wire inserted through the insulation only to break it while wrapping it around the capillary tube. So now I've got to locate another long piece of nichrome wire. Guess I'll be taking apart another soldering iron for that.
 And I had both wires soldered to the end of the tube so nicely too.

It was a beautiful Saturday in New England, so I got to exercise a 1940 V16 I've been screwing around with for a couple of years.

Once it warms up she has nice quiet pulling power thru all gears....

I'm still trying to get my top guys to come over to the garage and fabricate the convertible top for me....they told me around Halloween that they'd be there in a couple of weeks...haha.....I wish I could buy this top off the shelf....no such luck.

I have temp gauges for each side of the block and for the whole ride they stayed at about 180 degrees.....It was a good day !!

Mike Ballergeon,

Your 34 LaSalle you posted in 2023 reminds me of one that was restored & owned locally then sold almost 20 years ago then I think went to the Petersen.

This one was RHD
Enjoy life - it has an expiration date.

I started up my 47 coupe "Johnny Cash" and was going to go to the gym for a workout and a green juice, but once at the gas/mini mart I bought gas and ice cream and went for a long drive instead. When I got home I had a Jack Daniels in the garage to salute the man in black.
Well, at least one of us got proper exercise, thats something anyhow.
