Re: 1948 Suburban - finishing what dad started...

So we've been messing with and driving the burb for over a month now and it's been going pretty well overall. We're having issues with the gas tank having debris and the inline fuel filter keeps clogging up. Even with a strainer in the tank and having cleaned the tank multiple times. The mice it was home to while in storage must have built a village in there. Every time we think we got all the stuff out, we end up with more.

We've resolved to the fact that we'll just keep cleaning the filter until it stops having junk (checking it every couple hundred miles). We also had a couple header flange bolts back out on the drive to Louisville, so some parking lot fixes once we got to NSRA this weekend. Mom's taking the truck back to my brother's this week for a once over after almost 1,000 miles. There is a short list of things to fix and just to make sure everything else it still tight.

Mom is over the moon for truck and couldn't be more proud. She even made the local Louisville news Saturday while at the show and got to tell a bit of the story...
