Dear Dave and Crosley Friends,
Julie is not deprived. Got her some fresh butter beans today. Will cook them in ham hocks tonight. Corn bread too.
In ten years I'll likely be in a wheelchair. With a blown Crosley big block turnin' 12 inch cheater slicks over a 8 foot wheelie bar. Better start looking for a drag chute now.
Got Mr. Truk on the road. Only three gigs in the test that totals 60 miles as of now.
(1) Charging; Amp meter to the peg with 8 volt battery and a new NAPA regulator.
Disconnected the field wire and no charge, so it ain't an eternal field short to the brushes, as I have found on other cars, more work needed. Obviously.
(2) Handling; Drove him up to 50 MPH or so, and he handles better than the SS! Heard a loud BANG . Dismissed it as we no doubt broke the sound barrier.
Hit a funny strip of road patching at bout 25 MPH Thursday and we had a trill ride to match anything Disney World has to offer.
Left skid marks on the road.
And in my shorts.
Will address this issue before I use that particular road again.
Can't use the shorts anymore.
(3) We will likely investigate "wet" hydraulic brakes. The SS, with it's wonderful brakes has spoiled me.
Might use a steering damper of some sort. It'll pay for it's self in laundry bill savings.
Found out there is no Crosley that could be more popular with the local's in South Georgia than a pickup.
99% of the dear folks here have at least one, and they, and their children, go completely nuts over Mr. Truk.
Can't haul but so many at once!
Cell phones are out and snapping pictures. Amazing.
Crosley's brings happiness to those who play with them, but more importantly, those who whiteness them .................pete
