Thanks guys. Sounds like I'm driving, so it shouldn't be too hard to keep in check.

A-Ron you are not kiddin! This job seriously kicked my tail. But, I am happy to report that it is DONE!!! No leaks and the car is now free of anti-freeze after all of my power washing and cleaning. After about 6 Coors Banquets in (they don't have Shiners in CA) I was finally able to get it completed. I still have to put the seats and console back in after the carpets dry from power washing, but that is nothing. I'll get those back in tomorrow and it'll be good to go.

In other news, TCU KILLED Texas Tech today. Not a bad day.

Mine doesn't have, and my goal visually for the truck is to be as close to original as I can get, with a few touches.
Bill, I'm actually going to pull all the molding off my truck. You are welcome to it when I get around to it getting off.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY too!

Heater core replacement in the wife's Volvo wagon...been on it for a total of 5 hours now...still not out
Just did a heater core on my Subaru work car a couple weeks ago.......SUCKS! I think they hang the heater cores up and build the cars around them!

Thanks, on both accounts. We had a nice, but short evening out among a few friends. Turns out the one couple's daughter got sick so we split up early so they could get home to tend to her.

I got some flak over wanting the moldings for my truck (which currently doesn't have them) but I came across this picture, and it's pretty close to where I'm shooting for mine to end up. I just like stuff being close to original, I guess:

My truck has the moldings on the cab and doors. I have a bed that has them on it too. Duallys didn't have that molding. My truck was a single wheel 4x4 and converted to a dually. It had a flatbed on it when I got it, but I put a dually bed on it, so I'm taking the molding off. Are you in a hurry for it?

Bill - no, not really in a hurry. It's just something on my list of "to do" items as I work toward next year. I have other pressing matters to tend to on the whole fleet first.

Thank you, Glenn.

Carpet will not take long to dry in this weather.
