    Started the "put her to bed" process on the '63. A pretty inactive summer for that old girl this year. Better luck next year.

    Had my gorilla locks forced off today as I lost the damn key at some point, all is well now and swapped back to factory wheels/tires for hitting Mo's speed shop, and for hibernation this season.

    Replaced PS lines on a friends 2005 Trailblazer. All I can say is I hope GM fired the moron that did that design work!

    Got the roof and trunk painted. The paint on both was cracked badly all over and the roof was starting to rust.
    Body guy says he worked with a Mercury-lincoln dealer back in the early 2000s and told me for some reason all the cars are painted twice and that causes cracking over time. (thicker paint and layers = easier to crack or something)
    Sure enough, he shows me by sanding through clear/paint/clear/paint/primer on both panels. Why did ford do this?

    That is a very different explanation than what I had heard.

    I had heard thar Ford had sprayed alcohol through the paint guns to clear the paint from the machines and never put air through the paint guns to clear the alcohol before applying the next layer of paint, so the alcohol was in-between the layers.
    Now it makes sense that they painted the cars twice to cover up their mistake.

    That is a known issue. The coils backfire into the wiring harness and it causes the ECM to shut down.
    Then you have to cycle the ignition to get the ECM to reboot and restart the engine.
    I replaced all my coils because of that.

    F250:
    Finished radio install job. VERY nice unit. Kenwood DNR876S with Garmin NAV.

    Replaced washer solvent pump line, nozzle line and nozzles. Heat and age caused them to crack off and crumble. Sprays great now.

    Reinstalled front inner fenders. Left them out from cab mount job for having under coating done.

    Removed the new but wrong (long story that involved a lot of cursing) trans pan and installed the original pan after having the drain plug insert welded. It broke loose and was spinning rendering the drain plug useless

    Finally did the o-Rings in my EATC! So good to have air through the vents again. Two of those suckers were dried out and brittle, of course, you do all 4 while you have it out with fresh silicone ones.

    Should have done this sooner, about an hour's work, and $5 in parts. And if anyone needs some O-Rings, I've got about 96 more to spare!

    What did you do to your car today?

    Put her to bed on the top bunk, covered her up, and plugged her in. Didn’t quite hit 1,000 miles this year, same as last.

    Rolled the John Deere into the bottom bunk and plugged him in as well.

    No bikes this year, sold the last one a couple weeks of months back. Just a 900rr frame, engine, and ninja 600 engine left over for go cart projects.

    Are you referring to the Marauder or your female sex cyborg?





    Can't reply with quote for Justbob and only Justbob. Everyone else no problem. Anyone else have this issue?
