Mabel's Heart Transplant- She purrs Now

[studeclunker]

Well, I can see the '55, Gus, Mabel, and... Um that red hotrod is not a Hawk! It looks like Arnold Swartznegger in his prime wearing a red baby-t.[}] Yikes![:0] And it doesn't even look that modified. Cooooool.[8D]

Annie, you folks did an admirable job on Mabel. That engine compartment is a sight for sore eyes (sore from looking in MY car's greasy, dirty compartments). You need to be good to that ol' Malibu though. Looks a little woebegone through the door way. Just kidding! (LOL)

On a side note, I noticed that your fellas have a stoo... um, work bench just like mine!

Well I'm Happy to report Mabel's Oil pressure is 35lbs at idle goes up to 45-50 lbs down the road. Its looking good Its been raining today I have more Vacumn now so the windshield wipers work so much better. I just love the way they work I get a kick out of them. Got lots of thumbs ups today. I gave her a good Bath also vacumned her out removed all of the excess parts out of her trunk. She is almost ready for a car show.
She will Go to The Stude Meeting on Tuesday. Then next Sunday the 18th she will be at a Car Show Daytona 500 Party.

Well we sanded and painted the underside of the hood and the air cleaner yesterday. Sure looks alot better. We went to Casey's place to do some more cleaning up and putting away stuff at his shop. We wanted to leave it cleaner than we found it. It rained most of the day so at least we were indoors. I'll update the picture today. Boy she sure runs good, we have to take turns driving her everyone wants to check her out. Now when you pull out into traffic you aren't a sitting duck so to speak.

It looks good, but please install an air cleaner on that newly rebuilt engine. Perhaps you just had it off for the picture.

Yeah a freshly painted one. Everytime I went out to take the final picture my husband was tinkering with this or that. The Air cleaner is on it now.
