New Year Resolution's for your ride

. . . to reinstall as many parts as possible that were removed during 2003 - 2011. I installed the gas tank and transmission last night. Gotta call the shop next week to see if the shortblock is done, if so, then cue the happy dance.
 
New tires, rotors, pads, brey krauss harness bar and belts, fix my backup cam, replace my pia1100x bulbs with LED lights.

Ok, I tried to figure out what Route 66 from the
Navy pier Ferris wheel to Santa Monica Ferris wheel
drive would look like, I don't think I got it right.

What would your cruise map look like?

No it's not even close. 🤣 Really once you get to Texas, that's where it finally becomes what most people think of when you hear Route 66. There's a lot of you tube's on what to see and do, but I actually bought a old school road map off eBay for like $5 that shows the exact historic Route 66 route. At a certain point (I think the half way mark In Texas) that the road is actually marked every so often with Route 66 painted right on it so you know where you're at and if you're still on it. Plan for a full 2 week trip there and back. Most of the trip will be getting to Santa Monica, and then hall ass back across the United States. Of course, you have to enjoy just driving around to actually enjoy a trip like this, if you don't, it would be boring I'm sure. I'm gonna do it in my foxbody.

Thanks, that is more like I thought it would be.
Sounds like a great road-trip. It could be fun
by yourself or with a few others in a "mini-tour".

Getting it together enough to do Route 66 all the way through and back. Navy pier Ferris wheel to Santa Monica Ferris wheel.

A lot of work ahead of me. Moving into my new home on New Year's Day and I haven't had the car out since I took it to the track a year and a half ago and figured out almost everything it needs. ����♂️

This is on my bucket list ... trying to figure out how to set up my 53 Coronet to run 70 mph and not scatter the Flathead 6
 
Can I tag along as the 3rd wheel? I could sit in the middle when Sara wants the window seat! Back seat will be empty...

I'm just waiting for my ceiling racks to arrive right now. Then I will be able to get some shit off the floor, put the compressor in its final home and spread out a bit. This no shed thing is pissing me off.
