Morning Jim, Dennis, and any other FTE members that might stop bye today.
I had an early start yesterday, and headed off to my buddies salvage yard to get some stuff.
First on the agenda was too pull some really nice low back buckets from a full size bronco he got in a couple weeks ago.
Then i went on a hunt in memory lane (that is where he keeps his antique parts cars) to see if he had any Y-Block power steering setups. I was able to find one from a 55 Ford car. And i grabbed a spare pump from a 60's Thunderbird.
Then on my walk out i spotted a cherry bomb muffler in the back of another thunderbird. It was only one muffler, but thats all i need unless i come up with some ram horn manifolds for my 56 F-100.
Today....... I hope to figure out the fuel issue with my 78 F-250 so i can put it up for sale, finially.

Morning Gang,

and when I couldnt go any further with the fuel tank issue (lack of parts
)yesterday, I swapped the rear window in the ranger from solid. 
to to a slider!

Good morning RI and Tom.
Are you married? If so you have one understanding wife. If I spend more than an hour working on something without checking in I get crap for it. But I continue to do it all the time. LOL

Morning Jim,
Yes I am married. My wife is the best
! Not only does she endorse me working on my projects, but if she isnt at work on the weekends she is in the driveway with me. She has sanded trucks, removed engines, degreased things, you name it I have had her doing it.
My wife can also be my worst nightmare.
For example: Remember last week when I mentioned their was another truck I wanted to buy????
Well when I told her about it, Her response was.... "When are you picking it up, that truck would be really cool".
Now most people reading or hearing that comment will be surprised and possibly jealous, however, that is my problem. I can buy whatever I want, when ever I want.
Good and BAD if you know what I mean.
