Bzzzt. I'm sorry, those answers are incorrect.

The answer is "Garage door insulation"!

I got R3 foil lined bubble core in the exact width to be installed in the door without any adhesives or fasteners, just tuck into the door channels. 50' roll is about $50. The lined panels are now 31° F cooler than the unlined ones with the door facing the blazing sun on a 97° day.

Nice! I've been looking at the door kits.

Yeah, this is actually just the first part. I also ordered a door kit that will go over the top of these and give me a total of R 10 insulation when it's all installed.

The door kit will look like this...(except I will trim it around the windows)

Hey David, bring tools to remove the hood in case it overheats. Old Roadkill trick.

I'm re-watching the Stubby Bob episode right now. It is a fantastic episode.

like what is that supposed to mean, is it about the ads we can ignore as Gold members ??

Thanks guys you're very helpful. Charging up the camera batteries now & making a list.

I'm not working my *** off and putting up with b.s. just to sit on the sidelines and reminisce about Mopars. Furys have always been my signature car, never owned a Fuselage bodystyle but I've always wanted one, they have a special floating ride unlike any other car!

When checking out a car, open the hood first and check out the engine before starting it. Feel the radiator (inconspicuously) while you are under there to see if the seller "warmed it up for you" before you got there. A sign that it's hard to start cold...

If the radiator is cold, then it's the first start and you can evaluate how it is on a cold start...

I hope you get it. Looks like a great ride. Make a list of 'stops' along the way so if something does take a crap uou know which towns are near so you could get towed/parts...
I hate not knowing whats around when i need help..

And check for fabo members along your route. Incredible asset..

1971 mopar Plymouth fury 3

Going by myself tomorrow, unless somebody else buys it, more than likely I will, provided I don't find any deal-breakers upon inspecting it. The owner feels confident it will make the 5 hr drive home. I'll drive it a bit then shut it down and look for any concerns.

I've gathered some wrenches, rags, a jug of coolant, trans fluid, quart of oil, hose clamps, duct tape, tow rope, a moving blanket in case I have to get under it. My insurance does have roadside assistance if I need a tow.

I'd appreciate any other suggestions for what to bring along....thanks.
