Good morning Timmer! You're ornery today! LOL
morning leftie.
You can say that again.
yesterday was a wash.
Took one look at the crimp on the leftside muffler and decided no way did I want to get deeper into the project at this time.
Put the clamps back and deal with it over the winter. Many things need adjusting IMO - and its my car so it will all just wait until it can be done right.
Pulled the trim off
and off course it started raining.
Theres some gaps under the pinch where the piller joins the body. When it dried, filled with some rope caulk for now. Whatever was there orginally probably dried out and broke away. Needs to be done right sooner than later - address rust, new sealer... and new trim clips. Looks like Restoration Specialty has them (fingers crossed).
Crude job straightening the trim. Best I could do. Probably rushed it but not my area of skill.
Had dinner at a Columbian restraunt in N Philly with a couple neighbors, so that was nice. Inside so completely missed the storm.
Ended up not taking my vehicle so I could have taken my time on the trim 'repair'. Oh well...

So we are back in Fargo after wedding ceremony in Wyoming. We had a blast! Wife says I cleanup good! Picture is me and my 78 year old Auntie! The blushing bride! Marriage was in a stand of Aspens by a buddies log cabin! We watched Elk and Antelope everyday. To many Deer to count. We also found a Hot Spring in Saratoga. It was the best! The indoor picture is of the neighbor kid (8 years old) we hired to dog sit Hemi. His mom assured me he could wear Hemi out for us! Hah! They were inseparable, there is just something about little boys and dogs that just says all is good in the world. The other picture is one I took in a whiskey bar that reminded me of all y'all! Hah!

June Gloom all week here it looks like. The foothills of the Sierra Nevada have a "watch out for snow melt" warning, not gonna call it a flood warning that's being covered by any creek, stream, river that drains into the Gulf or Atlantic. Stay out of the low spots!
Sierra Nevada? Narwhal is an awesome brew. Was actually looking for that yesterday when I got the Boulevard

Good morning, day 2 of my "weekend." Good to see the Father's Day reports and fun times. Work had me worn out yesterday, I met some friends for a huge Vietnamese supper, they were hung-over, we all benefited from the spicy noodles with quail eggs, shrimp, sausage, bunches of fresh herbs...I ordered another dinner to enjoy today and not have to cook. I finally just heard back from my Dr. that my heart is perfectly normal...been just a little short of breath, better safe than sorry, and he gave me iron because surgery made me anemic. I was a little worried because my Dad had bypass surgery at my age.
Anyway it was a beautiful 45 min cruise each way yesterday, I know better than to jinx myself so I won't say how the Fury was running

Price might be OK.
definately would want to check that out carefully.
Looks like front fender is a different color but the real problem areas that cost time and money are the gas tank support 'coffin' and frame rail, along with the body mounts.
Its an 86-91 based on the nose & hood. I think they all came with the lightweight luggage rack. IMO no big loss without as long as the holes are plugged.
Looks like its got the better hitch, the optional rear wiper, and maybe the original Marchal foglights. (cat head siloute logo- kindof cool imn in a similar way as Lucas flameflowers)
For that price I'd like to see that all the windows work and the seat leather in decent condition.
An '86 has the one year only NP228 transfer case. Not a big deal to some but for snow having the 229 with the viscous coupler is something I'd want.
Nice thing about '85 and up is the front seats have headrests.
Fenders all welded. A few welds left. My new dry cut saw is the bomb! Should have bought one sooner.
actually, maybe, no for me but my buddy's needing a 9 inch for his Rambler

Inside looked pretty nice, really I just stopped to have a look, no way are my pockets deep enough to own one of these, and it's way more vehicle than I need.
