I'm getting tired of this weather. Makes it difficult to roll around on the pavement to take tranny tailhousing measurements...

It is amazing how much junk you can find when you start taking things apart..

That's half the fun, Like a treasure hunt..

Cheer up the good weather is coming.. Then we can start bitching about how hot it is..

Lol - I think I'm gettin' a couple "treasures" off your former yard ornament. I agree - I think if I had a ton of dough to just tear apart, frameoff, and buy all new top-notch stuff, the whole thing wouldn't be nearly as fulfilling. Famous last words, of course...

Well I hardly made a dent in it with a shifter boot and ****. I was actually pretty keen on his DD, but he said the road salt pretty much took care of it. I always liked the stock look, but that red one would be fun to wheel around Newton just to see the looks.
