The Recycled 40 ford woodie passed its first test on Friday. a 90 mile run to a show in Machungie PA provided good exercise. Tokyo rode shotgun and starred at the proflo controller in awe as we tried different speeds/ loads / different acceleration methods.
After enjoying the show, and buying all the good parts in the swap meet we headed home.
just down the road.. RAIN..
all was well, until we noticed the car "missing" under load, turns out one of the plug wires moved and got singed against the exhaust manifold..
the wires were used, so a new set went on today..

First "event"
although I had hoped to take the woodie to several shows by now.. tonight we drove to our first official "event"
"Chesterbrook" is a small local cruise night that occurs once a month.
normally our schedule prohibits us from making the event more than once a year, but I have always enjoyed the venue.
Sporting one freshly primed front fender. a fresh chip and new tune on the pro-flo, and feeling more confident we ventured a few miles further.
meeting up with our friends bryan and sarah at the show, ensured that we would have someone to help out in the event of any mishaps.
luckily, the car didn't skip a beat.. Its finally idling at a comfortable rpm, and everything seems to be working well.
At the show I had a chance to chat with George Trosley who was driving his 39 sedan..
Life is good..
