Imagine when his buddies broke the news to him that ford made a ranchero and he did not have to make one.

I do admire the creativity. Maybe the builder wanted the shorter wheelbase of the T Bird . Very familiar with Rancheros, had one, loved it. 271 horse 289, top loader 4 speed .

Sunny and hot, with a high near 117. South wind 5 to 11 mph.

Good day NOT to be in the mighty Mojave Desert

Furnace Creek in Death Valley that was. Extreme even for the Mojave . Not even 9am yet and already 103 out there. Death Valley will be just a little short of double the numbers of our predicted high today .

Just passed Carlisle on the turnpike. Ford show this weekend...

 

[No name needed]

Got my paying load worked out for Trip east to Carlisle. 2 Ford cabs and a bed. Same as last Sept... Anyone need anything hauled that way? Or better yet, this way?

May have a GTO that needs a ride to Ohio.

I can do that....

Getting closer.
Fuel pump getting relocated, sadly into the trunk. Nowhere else to put it. But at least its in a serviceable spot. Then i can finish the right side exhaust.

Morning, Did Hemi get it stuck back there, or did you through it back there? Maybe she figured you needed a brake from all the other stuff you were doing.

The snow drifts up to A/C unit and she chased the ball up the drift and it dropped down into cavity wiring created next to house. No idea how she did not electrocute herself. She crushed and literally tore the conduit in two in an effort to dig ball out of the snow bank. I pulled breaker and figured I would fix it come summer. Summer is here!

gonna melt a few holes?

Surprisingly I hit a groove and did pretty well. Best welds yet. Right up until my wife’s fuse wore out haha. I can’t wait for this maternity leave to be over. She’s got cabin fever like crazy and if I go anywhere for long, I hear about for the next 2 days.

 

[No name needed]

I can do that....

See if I can get all my other projects done, and if my son is ready for it.
Just have to replace the shifter, maybe I'll just farm that out.
I would bring it up to load on trailer at Hoppys.
THE NIGHT before youbbhead home.
No sense in driving down here to head back up, like last time.

Decided to day to check if all my new wiring works. No engine but I have it all connected. First, no tail lights. Found issue with that. Second, Volt gauge no light. Have to work on that. Stereo not working. Fixed that, mostly. No blower. Have to fix that. BUT considering all new wiring from scratch, all in all a success!
