Got lots done on/in the dash. Switches, cluster, wiper motor and linkage all in. Gave wipers a little test,with a motor speed controller. So instead of pulse wipers they just go slow. But with that theres no park. Im ok with that.

Fargo with the 360 is a little grumpy on first start but after that its no issue. A little throttle on hot starts and it fires right away.

Gonna rat him out?

Morning! Another glorious sunrise! Saw the farmers are on the fields now,drying up some. Got the garden boxes filled last evening,our little ocean is being so good outside off leash. But she runs until she is exhausted. Damn fast runner too. One year old today. Back in shop, and give it my...

Went and fetched 2 yds of dirt for kim to fill the garden boxes.now she can get ready to plant. So i will go back to shop and putter for a bit. Have to finish up the video i started yesterday anyway.

Me working on dash too. Inside and out. Mounting computer is turning into a challenge. But getting it. Need a 15/16” hole saw to mount power points. Another trip to town..

Morning! Beautiful sunrise, clear and calm. Going to be a nice day. Today, wipers, switches, heater duct and mount ecm. Need to wrap up everything so i can install cowl panel.

My grass is starting to take off, i havent dragged the mower out of the shed yet.

Got my mismatched end pieces made and sealed up. Next s primer and undercoating. Even found some foam tape that should seal it up pretty good. Had to use some foil tape to cover holes i couldnt get to,should be fine.

Yup, i have a cheap amazon kit. Works well. Be mindful of moving parts when you clip them on. I wish they would make a set that would broadcast an fm signal. Insead of headohones could hear it through the car stereo.

Morning! Warmer mornings now. And some sunny days for the next few days. It needs to dry up some. Farmers waiting to get on the fields. Any day now.

Happy Birthday @71340Duster !

This is what im struggling with..

Doing sheet metal today, the filler panel for the cowl. Hindsight tells me i should have made multiple panels.

Agreed. I grew up around firearms but have no clue whatsoever how to handle a handgun. Frankly, they terrify me. Im my mind its too easy to make a mistake..

There is something called a freezer alarm. Could save a feller some grief..

Morning! Nice morning and warming up enough to open shop door,if i was into that sort of thing. Over the last week or so our dog has changed in a favourable way. She is starting to respond to commands. So well that we can take her out without a leash. She will run off but return when called...

Think i got my pedal issue sorted out. Both are where i think they will work well. Next is fender and seats. Glass. Rust on bottoms of both doors. Carpet. Box. Wiring.

I have chicken pliers. They are phenolic so no zappy zappy. If i can find them.

Morning! Nice sunny morning. Was out very late last night, drinking espressos and visiting. So i slept in. Brekkie in an hour and then into shop. The friends we visited are a much younger couple,teachers that we met a couple years ago. Such kind and enthusiastic people.

Still turned out nice!

And there are some real skookum fans out there if you are willing to pay up.

I overpaid for my electric fan, and its not the best but im sure it will be fine for my junk application. In with a/c compressor and a manual on switch,using my floor mounted dimmer switch to select it. Im going to forget that i need to replace a captive nut before i install fender.

Got my lectric fan in. 16” fits pretty decent. And revisited the brake booster. Its junk i think. So 97 chevy 1/2 ton is the next donor. Got it in and started modifying pedal. Will take some work but im not not liking it. First move gas pedal, maybe build seat mount tomorrow. Oh, got...

This a/c compressor is being difficult. Theres no way clutch will come off without a fight. So i wedged plate and heated the one flat spring cherry red and left tit to cool. Seems if i get it to relax, it should stop the dragging.

Morning! Not a warm day at all. Slept like a rock last night. I know its the nerve meds helping me sleep as i havent slept well for the last year. Not taking the prescribed amount as i end up in zombie mode. Back in shop. Lots to do. Time is running out…

Very honorable. And having sciatica and losing strength in my legs i could only imagine losing feelings in my hands. Im about to start on Charlie’s Fargo, he almost died in a motorcycle crash a couple years ago. He can barely walk, but wants to get his truck on the road.

Was a day. And not a good one. Brake booster was leaking into cab. When i tweaked pedal rod i shifted a seal. Think i have that sorted out. Key was rough in lock cylinder and column covers werent fitting right. Full size column parts are same as s10, thats a bonus. So fixed that. I put a non...

morning! Rain. I keep sleeping in. Im thinking its the hours im working on the truck, when head hits the pillow im out. And usually 05:00 im up.

Right fender hung. Battery in and truck runs again.
