Yeah for sure take pictures, I was thinking of doing something similar, couldn't decide on which lights though.

I just ordered a set of Isspro Performax gauges from Clay. So I guess you could say that these are on the shelf.

Anywho, i have some steel pipe on the floor, some johnny joints on the way, and i chalked out some shapes on piece of 1/4" plate i dropped off to get cut out today, next weekend i should have them all tacked together
I guess I should have titled the thread "mods or maintenance"
Got the AIC installed last night, but now I need to figure out a new battery tray and install my new Pete cover.

Let's see... mods on the shelf for me right now.

-Centramatic wheel balancers.
-Fix the passenger's side auto hub (it's finally crapping out on me).


Big mods on the shelf:

-Buy a mid 70's Dodge crew cab short bed.
-Drop in a common rail with all the goodies.
-Go out and play.

Of course, I need mega bucks before I can get started, and finances are little tight right now. I already have the green light from the wife, so once the funds come in, I'll be busy.

LOL, now I'm going to get shunned for thinking of crossing over to the dark side. And no, this is no April Fool's joke either, I really do want to get a mid 70's Dodge and do a commonrail conversion. I have an idea for a truck that I've been wanting to do for a while.

Painting my Intercooler pipes (Burnt Orange) and cleaning my engine bay are at the top of my list.

Funny that you mention this. My wife caught me off-guard last Friday night while we were enjoying a kid-less happy hour. She asked me how much it would cost to get my Mustang running. (1967 FB in my garage). I about fell out of my chair - didn't drop the beer though... Not necessarily the green light but I started to round up some rough costs on getting that project started. Couldn't believe my ears.

You got it. Just what I need though, another money pit but I'll take it.


Mustang parts are just as expensive as these PSD's also.

Well, my first real mod... the DIY "tymar air filter system. I have all the parts and if the weather will co-operate a bit I'll tackle it tomorrow.
Then next on my list is a tranny temp gauge.

After that, I'll start to think about tranny fluid replacement and perhaps brake fluid replacement.
