The CSX: June 16, 2000
by Russ Knize on Jun.16, 2000, under CSX
The car has been sitting for a very long time. I started working on the rust on the left, front fender a few weeks ago. The Shelby Dodge Automobile Convention 10 is coming up in July 8, so I am starting a campaign to get the car ready. I need to get the power window and door lock motors installed, as well as the power mirrors (the doors are already taken apart). I also need to replace the weather stripping along the bottom of the door windows. Mechanically, the car is sound. I would like to have air conditioning for the trip as well, so I will pull the A/C heater unit to flush the crud out of the evaporator coil (the compressor was rusting, internally). I will replace the plugged heater core while it is out.
I’ve signed-up for all the events, which includes a performance driving school and drag racing. I won’t bother with the car shows. 🙂 The car is going to take a beating, so hopefully it will be able to make the trip there and back.
