Not too much to report on the technical side. Still dealing with the tire balance issue. This past weekend I went out with a few friends exploring Northern New Mexico. They are all professional photographers, and one is actually trying to start up a side business for New Mexico-inspired...

Firewall boot and rag joint replaced....

I got the new booster in. That was a pain. But, it's in. The Engineers didn't leave enough room for easy removal. Required some brute force a few choice words of lubrication. I also noticed my rag joint was pretty shot, as well as the firewall boot for the steering shaft, so those are on...

Did a little work on Kronk today. I replaced the hood shocks, as my old ones were not holding the hood up very well this past winter. I also adjusted and lubed the hood latch mechanism. It was getting to where I had to slam the hood pretty good to get it to latch. Now I can just gently push...

Long time with no update. Life keeps getting busier, it seems - partially my own doing. I recently turned 50 and received another "project" that I have been having some fun with: I have also been working quite a bit on my son's 1986 F350. It seems to finally be running pretty well, so I...

Dang, what a bummer!

Whoa! What was happening?

Decided to give Kronk a little attention this weekend. Duplicolor peel wrapped the grille and mirrors. Will do the handles soon. Also painted the emblem to match my valve cover.

Not much to update. Still taking Kronk out and camping here and there. I haven't been working on it much thanks to my new project: But, I have been having a slight rolling/squealing noise that I have noticed when I drive by curbs. It goes away at lower speeds (like less than 7-8 mph). I...

Yes, it is the white color. I rolled it on. I took a bit under 2 gallons. However, I didn't do the door jambs or anything that you can see when you open doors/liftgate/etc. I imagine if you did all of that, you'd use every bit of 2 gallons. I didn't apply it in the rain gutter, as I didn't...

Back together. Will wait on the roof rack until it is completely cured. Not perfect, but really happy with it.

Done...

Red line break in oil additive is also red. So is amsoil break in oil.

Everything takes longer than expected. Finally ready to monstaline tomorrow...
