She’s here! Who will she be?

[This is Donna posting, I will be doing so intermittently on this blog keeping you up to date on Stu’s projects while he works hard on finishing out the barn AND working on his project car.]

She’s here! Actually, she was last Friday but I’m just now getting around to posting about her. The two hour drive went well, even with almost an hour on the interstate. To say Stu is happy is a HUGE understatement. He is thrilled. Not that there isn’t work to be done. There is – a lot. But hey, that’s why it’s a project car. Here are a few photos of when we picked it up and in the barn where work has started. 

The first note from Stu on Facebook:

Today was inspection and assessment day on the Falcon. Nothing really unexpected. Anything rubber will need to be replaced, much of it is original. Brakes are the priority, needed a little refresh of hardware/springs, new grease seals. The shoes and drums are in good shape.Other major items include rebuilding the suspension, replacing the gas tank and radiator. Eventually the convertible top will replaced. I might try that myself, still researching. Please if you think you want to undercoat your car, DONT! That crap peals away and traps dirt and water, causing the very thing you thought you were preventing! See the pics

She is still nameless although several have been suggested. I personally like Ember since it has two meanings: embers glow red and Stu’s Dalmatian was named Ember! Some of the others are Scarlett, Cherry, Ruby, Blaze, and Wildfire. What do you think?

Stay Tuned!
