if u want to do this u NEED the heat gun, it just takes heat and patience to get it looking right

I had a dream last night I did this! Only I did my bucket seats too (I don't have bucket seets).

haha nicee i wish i had some buckets, but yeah i tried putting vinyl on the door panels, let me tell you, disaster, its too curvy to get it right without sewing new pieces in haha

Took my spare to Jim's Oil Depot for a new valve stem. Asked the guy how much to replace it--he said no charge. Hardly anybody does anything for nothing these days. I slipped him half a sawbuck as a thank you.

Took the aluminum tailgate trim off to be sold and broke the three plastic clips in the process. I didn't know they were screwed on from the back.

Yep. Three of them from the plastic brackets. I'm looking for a XL tailgate since my truck is a XL.

PO put a XLT tailgate from a junkyard. I don't want it, too much shine.

Dropped my transmission pan. Put in a new filter and of coures some fresh fluid.

I went to the junkyard and pulled some Centrion Van seats to stick in my 150. I also replaced the factory fuel filter after 15 years and 147000 miles. Took 2 trips to the parts store for the fuel line disconect tools, at the end i was covered in Lots of grease and gas. And for the record the cheap plastic disconect tool works like a charm and the $10, 2 sided metal tool is pure ****. Now to figure out how to mount those seats right.

Today, I only enjoyed the ride as it purred along. After new COPS and Motorcraft plugs this past Sunday. No more spit and sputter for now

Put a clapper back on the stack - most rain caps are made for straight-cut stacks, I have a slant-cut, things got interesting real quick. Pics tomorrow.

Repaired melted headlight housing, from the bulb laying on the opening, leading to me getting pulled over on the Eastern Shore and getting a warning.:-hair
