    Hey Grant, I'll be visiting with you at the gas pumps. No overdrive for me this year, either.

        Grant I stopped at every stop that was made. I just didn't get gas everytime. I'll stay with you man it's going to be epic this year!

        I just figured up gas for the whole week driving the Impala at 200 miles per tank. Close anyway. $450-500 depending on how much extra driving I do and cost of gas. The 56 will get about 300/350 miles per tank a little better without the AC on.

          I fixed the Impala AC switch yesterday. I found 2 things wrong with it though but both are fixed.
          The first was when I took the radio out to gain access to the controller. I went to pull the connector off the fan switch the whole backside of the switch came off!
          Then as I suspected the brown and orange wires where crossed up. I figured this out by the wiring schematic I found on line and some pictures I had taken before. I put the switch back together and crimped it down good it want come off again!

              I have ac in all my rides but most of the time I have the windows rolled down. I do like for things to work though weather I use them are not.

                I just had to give Andy a hard time since he has options with fuel injection however Damon is back in the game with me!

                          Yeah I actually like some of the other years also but the price was impossible to ignore.

                            I was into 77-79s for a while. Had a two door and a four door. Both 78s. I put 77 tail lights on my two door Caprice. By the time they make resto parts for them there won't be any left. Seat belt guides were the only ones I have seen.

                                I hope my PLANS CHANGE and this becomes our daily driver and everything in between, of course with a dash of 69 Camaro and 71 Vette.
