What Happens when you stick the wrong key into the ignition starter switch? In my case it got stuck.. and when I tried to "Yank" it out.. out.. half the key broke inside of it. So now it has to be replaced.. with a special order part no less. Best Case scenario.. the RoadRunner should be back up and running next weekend.
It's drivable and fine for those afternoon drives on the Weekends. But like all project cars (especially the older ones) there are still a few more accouterments to be had. For now we took it back to my Father's property out in the country until we can find a more secure location to keep it, i.e. clean out the garage.
Yesterday I stopped by the Mechanic Shop to get the Metro's A/C Fixed. While I was there I checked out the Road Runner and took a few pics. It's coming along nice. Both the interior and exterior are almost done, have a look…
Good Day Everybody!
So, I just got this phone pic sent to me. I got to tell you, the Road Runner looks to be coming along nicely.
Hello. So being the procrastinator that I am, I finally mailed my tax forms out this afternoon. Other than that, there was not much going on with me today. Still just working, then off to the gym, then sleep. then repeat the next day.
Meanwhile deep in the heart of Fort Worth…
As I mentioned last fall, the Road Runner is being worked on. It's going slow, but that is to be expected as only one person is actually working on it. Same fella who beautifully repainted the Geo Metro for me, which by the way, I am happily (yeah right) driving again.
I tell ya I get no respect driving that car. Other drivers seem to have no problem just cutting me off or trying to run me off the road on a daily basis. I can't remember, but did I ever mention the Metro was actually egged. Good times.
…to Kick Ass in the Future. So as of Yesterday, my Father (brother and myself if we can spare the change) is having the 71' Road Runner restored. We gave the fellow who is doing the work all the time he wants, so it will take several months. It's probably not going to be "Contest Winning" quality, but I look forward to it being back in good Cherry condition.
