The guy knew how to bend the strings didn't he? Too bad he didn't have more recording success. But according to his bio he did well as a writer.

Well, I finally drove up to Maine to pick up my 57! It was cold and rainy up there and reminded me of why I left the state in the first place (although I very much love my home state, Maine) After I got it home (it seemed the trip took forever!) I struggled with a few issues. The safety neutral switch was bad, the accelerator diaphragm was bad, the ballast resistor was bad (all fixed now!). I still have some wiring issues from previous owners, but I'm working them out. I'd like to give a shout out to all the folks that post information here as I wouldn't have figured out the ballast resistor issue and some of the other wiring issues!!  She is no show queen, but she is a great car to cruise around in!! Can't wait to get moved up to the Ocala FL area and join some of the cruise nights up there! Does anyone know if it's cheaper to get a power window motor repaired or replace it with a re-manufactured one? The next major project will be checking out and maybe rebuilding the brake system as they are very spongy! Thanks for everything!!

I did NOT need to hear/read that! LOL!!! I would probably sit there with  root-beer and finger through every single one of those records. And buy more than my share! 
When we get moved into our place in Missouri...my albums and stereo and turntable are coming out of their forced retirement and into their own room...where I can listen to them at my leisure. And if I went to see her..I would just add more to that collection!    Hopefully you are not now going to tell me she lives in either WA state or MO...

She looks really nice to me! Congrats.

Car looks great, Scott. That's a really pretty blue. Did I understand you drove it from Maine to Florida, or tow? The things you mentioned sound like relatively minor issues, so glad you made it with just those to be fixed. Thanks for posting.......always great seeing what the new guys are up to.

Great looking car. Make the brakes your #1 priority.

[scottegibbs]

Thanks for the replies guys! I did tow it down on a uhaul car trailer Rich. I contemplated driving it down, but glad I didn't because of the bunch of little problems  I encountered when I got it home! LOL When I got to the car with the trailer, I was a little worried that the car wouldn't fit, but everything worked out great. The car is not as original as my friend thought it was. Still has the original motor and trans as far as I can tell. 66K on the odometer. My friend had it tucked away in his garage for the last 10 years and didn't get to use it much. His wife wanted the space to put her car in for the winter so with a tear in his eye, he offered it to me and I accepted without seeing it! He is a brother Mason so I didn't doubt his word on the condition! I am so glad to be in Florida so I can play with it year round and feel bad for those of you that have to put them away for the winter! And yes, the brakes will be a priority!!

As I'm trying to beat the first, spitting snow, '57 projects are set aside to get things tucked in for winter.  Once I get the '41 back on the frame table with sheet metal piled on, there will be room in the shop for the Raunch Wagon with a list of maintenance items.  The cammer fits like it belongs.

Is that a 6-speed I see in the hump? Gonna be a sweet ride that one is!   

[gasman826]

The JD needed an oil change and a little brake service before putting on the cab and snow blower.

SWEET! All quality vehicles have 3 pedals! (I have 2 explorers...BOTH have 5=speeds! LOL!!!) Might have to make a trip out to MA one day this next summer and take a look-see! Once I get moved to MO it'll be a much closer trip to drive around and see cars!
