[BaadAssGremlins] Gremlin LIVES!!!

["Davis" <martin-davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Today I was to go racing with Bill and The Amc Team spirit but rain 
was forcast and it didn't look good at the track. So I came home and 
took the family to breakfast. Got home at about 9 Am and moped 
arround. Surfed the net some Then Bill showed up at 11 am. We started 
on the car.  I finished bleeding the brakes and now they feel good. 
The sun came out  
 Then I put the wheels on and they look nice   So I started getting 
excited. jacked up the front of the car to get the front wheels on 
and didn't really look close and the jack was 1/2 on the front of the 
oil pan   See my post in the wanted section.  
 Turned the engine over and nothing was hittin the pan so I lowered 
the car and fired it up to check oil pressure. Still good. 
 Back to thrashing  
 Bolted on the shock tower caps and shocks. Then I backed the car out 
under it's own power for the first time in 2 years  
 So now I am really wantin to take her for a ride  
  I put the rear lights in, then the side lights Course had to go 
scroungin for the right hardware. 
 I put the front bumper on just cause. 
 I put the grille on and then put the lights in it. Starting to look 
like a car now  
 Then I put on the rear bumper. 
 I went to the local sunoco and got 6 gallons of 93 brought it home 
and put it in the grem tank, 
 Pulled out the license plate and wham! My first trip arround the 
block  
 I stopped at a stop sign and there was an F250 with 4 guys they were 
hangin out lookin at the grem and giving thumbs up. The guy in the 
back wanted me to smoke em up but I refrained Till I turned the 
corner and then I jumped on it. What a rush,,,, I mean the next turn 
came up in a rush   
 Then back to the house to see if any leakes were evident and see 
what the temp was when I got back.  
 No leaks. Temp was a cool 160 Degrees. oil pres was 50 PSI hot  
 Bill left and I decided to take it out again. This time I went to 
Advanced Auto about 4 miles away. When I parked a kid asked What is 
that... I let him know   Then I went inside to look for a carb stud, 
They didn't have any. I noticed a guy checkin out the engine. When I 
got out there he was in his car leavin but gave me a thumbs up. 
 So off to Autozone about 4 mies back. They didn't have any either. 
So off again,, Now where to go...Hmmm Back to the Sunoco and put 
25.00 worth in at 3.48 a gallon. Went for a ride into town about 5 
miles and turned back. Went home picked up the camera and went to a 
local park and took a few pics in the parking lot. Jumped on it up to 
3 rd gear and felt a vibration in the front at about 90mph( I am 
guessing) so I have to check that out.  
 Came home and parked it in the garage, Still lots of work left but I 
finally got it together enough for a maiden run
