Hey Everyone,
I figured it would happen some time. I spent the past three days prepping my ride for the big Show up in Stanton tomorrow, and last night I decided to take er out for a quick Cruise over to the Game Store for my boy, and on the way back I noticed the temp going up in a hurry. So I stopped, and shut er off right quick and let er cool down. After everything was alright I tried again to limp her home but no luck. SO I gave up and had top call a wrecker to take it into my mechanic's shop, and boy howdy, that wrecker operator earned his money last night trying to get my beast up on his flatbed without scraping, or high centering it! We worked on it for a good hour or so!
Anyways, apparently we got a faulty fan switch, and stuck Thermostat causing all the problems. We got the T-Stat no problem, but the rest had to be ordered as our beloved Local Chrysler Dealer closed down a few months ago so we have to special order parts from Palm Springs!
So, long story short, my baby is all locked up in the shop safe, and snug waiting for easy, and lame parts which I am told should be in sometime after 10:00 AM Monday Morning! I try my very best to keep on top of everything so it won't leave me hanging, but I recon you just can't win them all! This is the first time though in six years that she left me hanging so I can't complain too much really! Especially when it is in and out of the shop getting taken apart, and back together, and then sit for months on end in storage waiting for show season! Kinda takes its toll no matter how carfull the guys may be! Such is the life of a full time Show Car.
Anyways, thanks for listening to me carry on my little rant! YOu guys go real easy, and I will catch ya later on!
