Also met Deucekustoms, he was not having a good day.
where do i start... since i was still finishing the car up at 2am thursday I never really had much time to really work the bugs out, so I guess 50's was the time to do it... Thursday on the way down my throttle linkage came undone going down 94, and my water pump went out. friday I changed the pump, got to 50's and my right front brake was locked up, i was running hot already before that, so forcing my way thru the fairgrounds to find a parking spot put me at about 280 degrees...my radiator sounded like my horn honking! after it cooled down i got the brakes adjusted and moved into the parking lot by the grandstand. saturday morning i pulled the RPV's off of my brake lines after finally figuring out that I didn't need them after all, as they were causing more harm than good anyways. leaking when they were cold and building pressure when they got hot. bled and re-adjusted my brakes, and pulled out my thermostat, and seemed to be going good, but got hot agian as soon as I got to the fairgrounds and before I parked there was coolant leaking into my cab and steaming up my windshield, damn heater core took a puke. once it cooled down i bypassed the heater core and I never broke 200 degrees the rest of the time, apparenty that solved my cooling issue. who knows. I made it home just fine, but I am sure glad I was staying at Titus and Jennies so at least I had a gargage, tools, and some help keeping my car alive this weekend. it was definitely still a fun time, and hell would it be 50's without car trouble??? thats half the fun, seeing how good your MacGuiver skills really are!
