Falcon Update

20121227-225346.jpg
After Ethan and I’s 10-day rush to get the Falcon rolling earlier this month…we took a rest break and then geared up for Christmas. Now we’re scurrying to get it finished for a road trip to see my family this weekend!
We’ve had the carb rebuilt. Last night we found leaky front wheel cylinders and have replaced them and finished bleeding the system. Fresh fuel has replaced the bad stuff we drained.

Falcon now fires up well – there just seems to be a couple small kinks to iron out. For example, the brake lights aren’t coming on….faulty brake switch?
To be continued…

    That engine bay looks very clean and if it’s the same color as the body, it should be a very cool restoration.

      For now its just the engine bay James (we also finished under the fenders) – but we’re really pleased with the color and have already talked about painting the whole car in the suede metallic blue!

Welcome to Grease Girl!

I'm not what you would call your normal grease monkey. I prefer to keep my cuticles trimmed and fingernails red. But when I started driving my 1955 Studebaker Champion I had to get a little greasy! Seeing as I'm more or less new to all this, this blog will be the place to learn along with me. Check back often to see what adventure I'm on next...it'll be fun!
