Could also do an overnight vinegar soak. That got the fuel tank on my torpedo heater cleaned up nicely. Hydrochloric acid works well too, but don't leave it overnight or it'll disappear.

Added 2 1/2 quarts of ATF and went on a nice little cruise...
Runs and drives great!

Just over six months since you put it away. Is the weather only now good enough to get it out or does the weather get better sooner?
I could've had it out sooner, just been too lazy/busy with other stuff...
I've had it out in early April before... Depends on weather and I like to see the street sweepers out first.
I got the nice Roadmaster out of storage like 3 weeks ago.
Well not much to report this year.
It snowed on Halloween and they salted the daylights out of the roads, so even though it's nice again, cruising season is over...
All my plans for the summer kinda collapsed amongst a number of unexpecteds... I think I drove it less than 10 times.
Did manage to hit a local show with it Oct 1st, but unseasonable heat spoiled that, too...
Gonna try and tinker with the 442 this winter, we'll see how motivated I am...
Stay warm!

Thank sucks, though I feel your pain. The engine noise precluded me from driving my wagon, and I only put a few hundred miles on the 32 Ford. Of course, my shop build at all my time up.
Hopefully you can get some wrenching done over the winter and get to cruising next season!

What a weird winter!
Nothing new to report but it's always fun seeing the car turn up in various corners of the internet...
Somebody snapped these shots at the "Back to the '80s" show in June.
Shouldn't be long before it's clear enough to get out on the road!

Well I didn't get anything done over the winter and I haven't had it out yet, but I'm excited to hopefully have a much more productive season this year!
I was goofing around on Google maps the other day and they had a few different years of shots of my place, including this one it says is from Oct 2013, but it looks much too green still for Oct... more like early September.
But anyway it was kinda fun to see the car out front...
Time to get cruising!
