Both me and my wife were not happy with our job situations at the time. My wife ended up being transferred from her company's office in Pensacola to their main office in Jackson, MS. So we started planning for the move in January 2010. My dad came down to help on the actual move-day. We packed the U-haul full, along with our other vehicles, and we loaded the '66 onto a car hauler/trailer headed for Mississippi. I was fortunate enough once again to have a garage at the house we rented, so that I could park "Black Betty" inside. While in the Jackson, MS area I had a chance to meet another fellow forum member, George (GMan69). He came by with his engine hoist to help me unload the original 283 engine from the back of the truck. We struck up a friendship that I will always have & never forget. He's a great person, and I'm glad to have been able to meet him.
While living in the area, I attended many of the local cruise-ins and a few shows. Here's a picture I took at a local cruise-in in Flowood, MS:
Since it was in dire need, I also took the opportunity to get the interior cleaned up good. During the process, I also used some Eagle One Wadding Polish to clean up the chrome door sill plates. I still need to get some floor mats though:
