66' Ford Fairlane
Once again, I forgot to write a blog for last week, it just keeps slipping my mind. My life has been extremely busy lately and the free time I do have, I don't want to spend on homework. But now I am writing, which is the important thing. I can't remember the last time that I wrote so I'll start from the beginning. About two weeks ago I was told that I could take my Dad's first car out of my grandma's garage. The car is a two door 1966 Ford Fairlane with a 289 V8 engine and an automatic transmission. I have been trying to convince my grandma to give it to me for the last 5 years and finally she is letting me, so I am pumped. I went over to her house 4 times last week to work on the car and try and get it running to no avail. I had to pump up all the tires and replace one of them. Along with pumping up the tires the car was buried under a pile of old junk and nicknack's. It took me two full days to dig the car out of its garage burial spot. This Thursday me and my uncle will be removing it from the garage and towing it to my dad's storage shed where it will spend its winter and then next spring, will be worked on. So that's what I have been doing this past week, along with school, homework and work. Until next time...
