Martha, my '54 Plymouth Plaza Suburban, sits in the driveway to my garage where Faulkner is kept. I had Martha's radiator recored, and stripped much of the engine compartment for some modest efforts at detailing; but Martha was inoperable as a result. Would I finish in time, in order to move her out of the way to let Faulkner out, so we could get to Carlisle?
Yes! The day before Matthew Keij's arrival, as it turns out - and I was able to do some quick detailing on Faulkner along with a shakeout cruise.
With Matthew's arrival, work began in earnest on the installation of the SMS door panels I had recently received - along with a pair of ash trays I had acquired from eBay.

Matthew left for Carlisle on Wednesday, and I went solo on Saturday, the first time ever in Faulkner. I needn't have worried - he ran like a champ the whole way.
Open the gate and lemme out...Backing out of the drive. Look at that upholstery!
