I drove it about 110 miles Monday and another 80 today. It drives really nice with the hard top. Much nicer to drive at 6AM for sure. I'd like to see the mileage over a tank. It's heavy enough so you can notice it with the soft springs and RA...

I had a bit of a brainstorm last evening. Vinyl top. I had the peices fitted by 9 last night and glued up and trimmed by noon. Quick, easy and with materials I had. Top had solvent pop something terrible and they just kept going. Most of the...

I threw the hardtop on just because. It's pretty cold when I leave, but upper 60s on the way home. I asked AI to give me different paint choices. I dont think it's gonna stay horribly painted and peeling Earl Scheib Red, but it might if I dont...

Got the exhaust all about done. Waiting on another bend kit to get all of the way out of the back. Resonators and valved mufflers without a crossover. Should make good noises tomorrow if we can ever stop chasing cavitation in the steering box...

Had the grey 5v wire for sensor A wired to the white wire on the cruise. Fixed that. Got the pedal working after a PCM reset. Finished gravity bleeding the brakes. Topped off all of the fluids. Drove it around the yard for the first time since I...

Got on a side quest today. I was making progress on the Lincoln, then, out of the blue, I pulled the grill out of the Benz. Pulled the spare grill off the wall. Cleaned both, used the best parts from both. Ended up using the old 73 slats because...

Made some forward progress this weekend with @tonyota. Fixed the ignition switch. Cheap junk needed a spacer to keep the accessory stud from moving around randomly engaging the starter. Was running on 3. 4th injector on the right bank I knew...

Pulled out to clean the shop and do some under dash stuff.

View of the relay center with the fender on. I think I'll leave the power antenna off. Its plenty accessible without it in there.

Drives great. Still needs polishing. Still could have better clamps on the fuel rail. Needs better contact cement on the hard tonneau vinyl. Put a couple thousand more miles on it this summer. Drove it to work Thursday. Much smoother ride than...

Drove it to work Friday. 40 miles each way. Phone could not adjust to the shaking. Lost oil pressure again on the way home. Dropped to about 10 psi just after the filter. Shut it off and right back on again and I was back to 30 psi at idle. I...

She's a runner. I keep getting distracted by the Heap. Jeep techs never want for work. Stuck my head up under the dash while installing new 30A breakers in the hood and trunk popper circuits and noticed a red LED shining in the fuse box. Turns...

Been working on the lincoln on and off. It cranks with the key. I loosened the port on the remote oil filter and cranked until oil came out. Fixed an oil leak at the pan, found that I hadn't finished running the trans cooler lines. Ended up...

Got rained on. Apparently, in Toledo, the passenger wiper is not level with the glass. The proper placement can be judged by the scratched windsheild. Per the FSM. Swapped in the new intake gaskets despite a good smoke test. Still not great...
