Pre-Dragweek torture test complete!
« on: July 26, 2014, 03:01:13 PM »
 I took the Galaxie on a 150 mile road trip today in 102 deg heat for a test drive. No runs, no drips, no errors and the engine never got over 190 deg plus it started right up after I shut it off so I think I am ready to go...on that end anyway.  8)

Haw ;D!  Bob can always be counted of for accurate input on why a condition does or does not exist.  Congrats on the dry floor AC, sounds like you're ready to go.

How was the A/C, cold enough?  Massaging seats relaxing enough?   ;)
