Lake City Limo

[frismanis]

We had a great initial planning meeting with the Limo

Mike’s wife is all in and superbly cool.

She’s alright.

great being able to hang out with you after not seeing you for a decade or so. Tayma makes fun of me for having fake internet friends, but now you have been converted into a real friend in her mind.

Lots of plans are in the works.

Mod #1 is complete. The tires make it look right already!

My mistake - I thought Mod #1 was "Kitty in the roof-rack mod"

Smoking like someone sandblasted the rings

At least an engine swap was already on the table before we realized it was smoking, so this isn’t really a surprise expense. If we were going in thinking the engine was already sorted out then I’d be upset.

The sandblast comment was a shot at Shaw. We will get you updated on all the inside jokes at SSS21

Could not get started fast enough on the Limo this morning.

First things first as we start planning the major stuff, I get to start preserving patina. This is what I love. Watching the 44 year old paint pop back up with a good CLR scrub.

This is always the first step. Get the white chalk off. Next, since the paint is so good (where it’s there) I will go with a orbital polish and wax.

Here are some pics from when my brother found The Limo in the previous owner's garage during a city wide garage sale.

Check out this throttle linkage!

Just a couple more from when he first brought it home...

And its the right color too! Be nice if you can preserve dealer sticker on tailgate
