Tried to start it and the battery was dead. Does that count? Got it started and the dang thang ran outta gas.

There have been 4,668 days since July 11, 2012. That's when this topic started.

So if your kid was born at that time, he/she would be..... 13.

And if you bought a new car at that time, then its overdue for that first oil change.

And if you had purchased a new bottle of Scotch at that time, then its ready to enjoy.

Oh, and if you are reading this, then you should grab a beer and say cheers!

You forgot to mention your car's extended warranty is expired

Haven't seen the welds yet, but there is/was a member on here, @donkeykong that liked to say, "A grinder and paint make the welder I ain't." I probably got that wrong, but it sounds funny. Show them welds, just don't grind and paint them, it'll be a waste of paint on exhaust pipes.

@HonkyKong maybe it was?

You got it real close though.

I wondered how I was going to remedy the PRNDL problem I discovered, where the radius is in the cluster housing to change direction for the pull wire. Someone pulled real hard at some point, breaking the radius off and mangling the part of the PRNDL display that the orange line trolleys in. Lucky for my old effed hands that metal is pretty thin and easily malleable back into proper shape. A light squeeze of the spreader plier thing put the slot in proper spacing, and some dielectric grease made lubing the track a breeze.

So the 'fix' involves a stainless 10/32 screw, the only 10/32 nut I had in a square head and tapping a hole I drilled into the dash. I had some random nylon tube that fit over the screw, cut to a length to give the wire a smooth surface and Shazam! I got PRNDLation indication again!

One down on the list, lots to go.

Cool. I need.to do that

Lots of polishing today. About half done. Not fantastic but I think I can live with it. I'm too tired to sand and polish anymore.

And all this is without putting one single mile down with it yet. In 3 years now. I can imagine that the list will grow after the 'maiden voyage'. Should add remove windshield and check for rot in window area, need to figure out where all this rust came from around the corroded fuse block.

Be gentle, that steel is really thin and it would be easy to go from tapped hole and one nut to stripped hole and two nuts. Be sure there's a lip on that screw head to contain that wascally wascal.

Went for a cruise in the country, checked the local stores for die casts. Then stopped by my buddy’s house for a game of pool and some metal on the hifi. While I was there he took a roundabout reproduction photo of me, like my dad and his ‘vette. After he passed, we couldn’t find his old felt bucket hat, but this black one I found is good enough for me.
