Howdy from Houston - 66 Deluxe
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2023 7:21 pm
Hi There -
I'm Janice in Houston. My Dad gave me his 66 Deluxe a few months ago and I had it shipped from my hometown near Cleveland, OH to my current location in Houston area. My father was going to sell the car to some random for $5k and I said 'absolutely not!' - so that's how i got her. She was restored about 25 years ago but has basically not been driven since then.
There's a huge list of things to get through - but so far i've bypassed the heater core after smoke from the dash. I met John Dorcey and got a replacement Core and water valve, so that will happen at some point.
The bigger issue is that the brakes went out on me tonight! found some fluid on the garage floor. hopefully just a leak.
Planning on a brake upgrade to dual cylinder or disc sometime soon.....
have any good shop recommendations in the Houston area?
Glad to be here, thx for having me,
Janice
