Now if we can only find a way to spend Travis' money....

Where are you getting fenders and core support from?

I do that on my own with my dad. LOL
Having 2 harleys, 6 88-92 ford trucks, 3 RBVs, a fox body stang, a super duty and 2 gms (especially the gm part LOL) will do that. Of course all our parts of the family but I get to drive all them (once I have my MC license).
Once I get a good job instead of all this side jobs I do maybe I will need your guys help though.LOL

Nice work so far.

Matt, could I get you to take some pics of your blower/ac assembly and all the tubing and what not for it? I'm trying to piece my 93 back together after the po's partial removal. We have the same engine so I figured it'd be easier to figure out.

Are you referring to the a/c and heat blower assembly? from the engine or interior?

Yes, blower and AC from the engine bay. I'm having a hard time trying to tell what's still there and where everything goes.

I have not taken it yet i have time this weekend to take it though so i will probably go tomorrow however i have a corner light out and that will fail it so i need to dig through my drawers and find a bulb for the corner... annoying that a tiny bulb like that will cause it to fail. It's been a pain because everywhere closes at 5 and i usually get out of class/work at 6:30-7 every day except weekends but on weekends i usually bust my *** on the 04 and never get to it lol.

Would the windshield washer pump cause it to fail if it doesn't work? I am going to try cleaning the contacts but i need a whole new washer fluid/coolant container anyway because all the tabs are broken off.

EDIT: found something on the Mass DMV website and it will fail so i need to fix that...

I just ordered one from Rock Auto. I dropped mine and it split wide open. Old plastic I guess.

I grew up in Massachusetts. I used to hate inspection time. We knew which stations were easier than others and we knew which station operators hated kids and would find any excuse to fail the car in the name of keeping them same. The height of stupidity was the local tough-on-kids garage holding onto the steering wheel, pulling himself up off the seat, and stomping on the driver's side floorboard as hard as he could because he was convinced that it was rotted and shouldn't pass. I now live in the land of no inspections and don't miss them in the least.

Lucky I wish there were no inspections here in MA I know in New Hampshire its very easy to pass though and I had planned on moving up there eventually anyway since both me and my fiancé love it up there. Luckily I know one of the station owners so he is not mean or anything but if I was going to fail I would fail he wont just pass me to pass me. I am also a very by the books guy so I wont try to get around stuff like my cummins swap unless I move to NH before I do the swap I will probably have to wait a few years to do it because Mass will fail me for emissions and my 04 gets exempt in 2019.
