RI 2024 BS THREAD

Happy new year Rhode Island and FTE

I resolve to not make a resolution to loose weight or start exercising. I resolve to make this a year that we get some vehicle projects back on the docket.

Get 92 Mustang drivable
Get the 78 crew cab drivable
Get something accomplished on the 56 crew
Get 56 COE wired so it can be started and moveable.

all that while I mix in finishing a few outside house projects and the room I am remodeling currently.

Small list of goals I think. Let’s hope Mother Nature 2024 lets us enjoy our weekends this year.

Cheers to a good year of getting **** done!!

Happy New Year to you Dynamic & everyone else.

I have to get my 53 in order and it is a bit of a challenge. I live in western Connecticut and my F100 lives on Block Island which presents challenges. Tools and time out there are the leading issues.

At the moment, I'm not getting fuel to the carb and put a new fuel pump in and checked the lines that are definitely not blocked but I'm still not pushing fuel. Anyway, I think it is a matter of locating the proper side of the lobe to put the fuel pump arm onto... I ramble. I have a few other things I'd like to get done but don't have the time like a new steering column, wiring loom, and headliner to install.

What I'm looking for is a shop (preferably near Point Judith) that I can bring my F100 to. I was thinking of Kane Motor Cars in North Kingstown. Anyone have an opinion of this shop or a better suggestion?

I declare the Rhode Island group dead. I've tried several times to get support and answers within threads and by starting them and nobody could be bothered even though I can see that the threads are being viewed. If everyone is here for self interest alone then there is little point to this sub-forum.

You will find very low participation in this group unfortunately. There doesn’t seem to me a lot of interest in chatting with fellow RI members. In regards to your unanswered post…. It’s more likely a matter of nobody having input on your question unfortunately. Personally I’d rather keep the question on topic vs getting “sorry I can’t help” responses.

Slow start here. Still on the rainy side of spring. Was lucky to have two nice swap meet days. Not much was found for helpful parts, but I love the hunt.

My list for this year.

Get 92 Mustang drivable

Get the 78 crew cab drivable
Get something accomplished on the 56 crew
Get 56 COE wired so it can be started and moveable.

Mustang isn’t driveable. I did change the fuel pump last weekend. So that’s something.
78 crew. Well the motor is no good after several weekends of trying. I did buy a new to me motor that needs to go in. Supposed to be 450-475 hp. That should make it fun.

56 crew. Maybe next year
56 Coe. Well. Same.

I did button up a few house projects from last year. Atleast I did some car stuff this year. Lol
