When Mom saw the car last month for the first time after all of the work was done, she commented that the hood insulation looked bad compared to the rest of the engine bay. For the duration of the project I've been looking down and not up so I'm glad she pointed that out. I replaced it earlier this week and glad I did as I never noticed that whoever put it on previously had one of the pads installed backwards.

Sunday afternoon the weather cleared up here and allowed for some more seat time in the 409. I was able to take it on a 35 mile loop that included about 5 miles on the tollway at 65-70 MPH. Those bias ply tires are sure a handful at those speeds with the crosswinds we had here yesterday. No real issues other than that so we are building confidence and actually the car runs really well. The car loves this colder weather and runs very cool going down the road. I had to makes some adjustments to the heater control valve cable (yes it is getting cold outside) when I got home but it's pretty close to all dialed in now.
MCACN prep is beginning - I test fit everything in the massive trunk and we can get most everything in. All of our parts for the swap space, cooler, tables, etc. I'll have to put the chairs in the back seat and my luggage in the front seat but it will all fit. I started the clean up last night so the coutdown is on. I have a buddy with an enclosed trailer that is scheduled to deliver and pick up the car for us but if the weather is dry and roads are still salt free I might just drive it in - just like Dad would of..... Looking forward to seeing everyone

Isn't it amazing how much you can get in one of those trunks? Back in the 70s my brother had a pair of 64 full size cars. I remember him putting two of the old galvanized steel trash cans in the back; standing up!!!
