The restoration/modification of Daisy.



Thanks! Ironically enough I spotted that my brand new condenser is leaking where the high side fitting is welded to the tube. So my a/c is sitting there in the driveway leaking as I type this.

Turns out she's got a cyst on one of her ovaries. She had a parti hysterectomy 5yrs ago so it looks like her ovaries, or at least one of them, might be going away too.
 
Not yet. We've done three heat cycles and she's sitting in the driveway right now. I've had it up to about 50mph, it drives so nice! The engine and trans seem much happier, it shifts at lower rpm and shifts much smoother. I really don't think it's too deep. I should be running 2500rpm at 70mph. Unfortunately my wife woke up this morning with some serious abdominal pain and we're at the hospital right now getting her appendix looked at.

Well the top half is good. The bottom half sucks. I've had my appendix out so I know how that goes. If it is the app, hopefully you caught it before it pops. I know my surgery to remove was fairly easy. But that said, it's never how you want to spend a Sunday!

Here's to hoping all is well.

:doah:

Praying for you. Let us know how it turns out.
 
BlazinZuk drove Daisy this morning. He loved it!

Bet it drives totally different now. I loved mine when I got it geared, drove like it was totally stock, just much bigger.

And hope the best for your wife, that type of thing always sucks.
 
The restoration/modification of Daisy…

Text me if you need anything that I can help with.
 
We're out of surgery, she's awake and feeling good, thanks for the kind words guys, I love my CK5 brothers.
 
HOME! Glad Christy is out and doing good.

I gotta give Scott some serious props. I have followed the build but Daisy is just nice. Drives awesome, good power, looks good ( especially when you imagine paint :D) rides good. Is not complicated at all. Overbuilt in all the right places. Just a really good job.
 
So happy to hear your wife is doing good. Not a good scare.
If you need anything just ask. I'll do anything i can.

You went 4.88's like me right?
