So far it`s not a good morning for me, I destroyed the passenger`s side mirror on my 2012 F 150 this morning, the good news is no damage to the door and I can get a used one for $140 instead of a new one for $400. I only broke the plastic housing, the mirror and marker lights are ok so I now have some spare parts....
This isn`t a pic of my mirror but for a few seconds I was thinking of doing this....

Happy thursday afternoon. Just got back from my buddy's shop. We were stripping my 88 Lincoln donor car. I got all the electrical off i need, and the engine/trans is ready to pull. I was going to save the diff, but after looking closely ay the work it wood take to cut off the old 4 link, I decided to go with the explorer diff. It doesn't look like I'll get the motor settled in the 56 this fall. After taking all the bling off, the engine is pretty dirty. The only oil leak I found was the speedo cable o-ring. Thank God my nieghbor has a 4 post hoist. I can't emagine, at my age and girth, going without one. Well I'm off for a shower then, at 4pm I'll take Jordan to his hockey game. By the way I took today off to get the my donor car ready. Have a great day guy's. Hey Morris, I saw on the weather channel you guy's have some pretty cold temp's. Take care.

I don't have an Ebay account and my Ford dealer is bringing one in for me tomorrow. I have an account there and the mirror is reasonably priced at $300 and change.

Sorry to hear about your set back and not getting the engine mounted in the 56 but it`s better to do it this way getting everything ready before you drop it in.
Yup, it`s going to get a colder soon but it usually does for Halloween, nothing new there.
