My drivers side door latch was starting to stick and sparadically not opening with the inside door handle so I took the door panel off, cleaned and lubed everything in there, washed off the 1/4" layer of dust back there, replaced the plastic thermal/moisture barrier and put it all back together. Door opens like brand new now. Amazing what a little bit of grease can do haha. Since I didn't want it gumming up again I used my dirtbike chain wax to re-lube it. Should keep it nice and lubed but not attract dust and dirt.

Found out what is 302 and what is 460 parts in the 91 F250 460. Their are almost enough spare 302 parts in it to build another 302. Unfortunately some of the expensive parts are either missing or broken. Looks like it is going to be a fun build on this 460.


Also started cleaning up some of its parts because once my 88 F150s 302 is finished going to get started in on it.

Scored a tailgate panel off craigslist for what I thought was a good price considering the condition.

That's kinda neat considering I have been working on my faux alligator leather headliner the past few days too!! I'm adding some more things to mine to spice it up a bit! I'll be sure to post pics!

Btw how did you recover the visors?

I had bought my leather awhile back with the anticipation of getting around to reupholstering my interior, so i cut out the patterns, took a razor blade to the stitches on the visor and opened it up, if you have the mirrors a needle nose plier helps tremendously in getting off the small fasteners holding the mirror on the inside, then i used my sewing awl with i believe 1mm upholstery thread and then i tried my best to sew a straight line
