    Installed some NOS Ventshades, I think they look great with the chrome.

    Lookin' sharp! I need to source some new trim pieces for mine. One side looks decent, but the other's a bit of a mess.

    Well, I don't have a wagon, still, I got out in Babe and pulled the instrument cluster to make wiring harness repairs to the headlight pigtail (actually, I replaced it) and check/clean the ignition switch. Damned thing's only 3 years old, so I don't want it damaged. I also replaced cluster bulbs that had burned out, pulled the nuts that attach the gauges to the foil runs to clean the crap off them and the foil, and almost installed a possibly incorrect turn signal switch, so I need to compare it to the wiring diagram. Soon as I get a good battery, I'll be able to test the turn signals with the replacement switch.

    Sprung my first (hopefully last) oil leak a couple of weeks ago. Main source of the leak was the oil pan drain plug washer but also discovered the valve cover gaskets were bad. All is good now. :)

    I hate when my sway bar ends are missing.:eek:
    It should sway a lot less now anyway.


    Cleaned differential fluid off the roof of my wagon today.o_O


    I have a lift and park the wagon under my Poncho, when it gets real hot in the garage it drips a little.:rolleyes:
    I think the best fix for that would be to air condition my garage. :)

    Lucky you. Say, what's the status on the '59? You haven't posted anything since the fuel line debacle.

    That "speedway" looks just like the parking lot of the abandoned amusement park up the road from me.
    I take it back, the amusement park parking lot looks a lot better.:D
