Forgot to drop in this morning, had too much on my mind and too much to do after. Got a new master cyl and now I have leaks everywhere.
Have a great day.

Hi guys I've been away for a bit and just been real busy with my wife's parents. Trying to move my wifes mother her into a Alzheimer's facility and going to their house just about every day. It started with my father-in-law going into the hospital in January and realizing how my mother-in-law could not do anything on her own.
Haven't done any work on my old Cuda or much work around the house so now I have to get going on my projects

Good day all..

by Ragtacker Fri Jun 01, 2018 7:49 am

Good morning 10 and theres rain on the way. Keith I feel your pain, my mother inlaw is going down that road and well my mom is starting to show signs, its not easy but do what you can and the car will be your escape.
Cheers

Good early afternoon, it was 35 yesterday and humid, it was about 15 this morning and it is 10.8 now...to be exact and it is only 2:00.

Can't do a darn thing to the Dart til after it goes to the garage. I waxed the doors, roof, quarters and rear last week. No use doing the front 1/3 now.

Keith, I like you and many others know too well what effects Alzheimer's can on a person, like it or not a lot of us here are around 60 years of age and our parents are either gone or don't know where they are, the two main culprits are Cancer and Alzheimer's. Neither one is pretty and so far there is not a whole lot we can do except support them. Dad has been gone for 24 to years alzh. and mom 16 years to cancer. So right now all we can do is say a prayer for you guys and wish you good luck.
Have a good day all.

Good morning not sure how warm it is but we made it to the hotel in Vancouver. I hate this place it’s just to damn big. Big ol wedding tonight and back home tomorrow. Went to the new Bass Pro on the way in. 148,000 sq ft its damn big and has a few of our dollars now. Have a great day

by JGL Sun Jun 03, 2018 6:26 am

Good morning, I'm early for a change, we have a windy and partly sunny day but we are under the effect of a cold front. It was 7 one half hour ago with a great big high of 11 for today, the 35 we got last week was better!
Have a great day with at least some good luck.

by JGL Mon Jun 04, 2018 4:44 am

Good morning again, the sun is out but it's damn cold. early this morning the temp went down to -1 but now it's 5 and heading only to only 14.
Have a great day.

That is it except for waxing the front clip and cleaning the front buckets.

Well that is it for todays sun, the clouds have taken over. Sad

Good morning people, cloudy at the moment but Mr. Sun should break through with a predicted high of 16. Looks like we had some rain last night. The temp now is 7 but the forecast calls for a fairly nice afternoon...lets hope their right.
Have a great day.

by Ragtacker Wed Jun 06, 2018 5:47 am

Good morning 7 and clear. Looks like today might be ok but showers moving in for the weekend.
Have a great day

Good morning cloudy but dry.

Wow what a flippin day this was! Finally got what looks like a paint match for the new hood, now nervously waiting for the results. Took the new 742 case and sure grip to my mechanic buddy who is going to install the new stuff in the rear end for me. When I bought the case and suregrip I was told it had 277 gears but I had a furled brow about that. Theres 276 gears but not 277 but oh well too much to do before all these self imposed deadlines start catching me. I got to my buddies and he says what gears does it have I said I was told 277 he says you dumbass its 276 I said thanks for the character asesment but thats what I was told and never checked as I had no time to even do that. He shakes his head rolls the ring gear as I am getting some other stuff out of the car for him and he yells you dumbass(wth) its got 355`s ..... I says holy you know what thats exactly what I have been looking for wooooooooo. The old motor always ran hot and that worried me and with a new stroker it made me paranoid so I got a new aluminum rad and it still ran hot like it used to so I canned the mechanical fan and went dual electric and son of a B it still ran hot. Changed out the guage and voila never goes above 210. The new Stuart Warner guages are junk as far as I can tell from my recent research. They read correct to 180ish and after that its your best guess, I want to also put a mechanical guage on there too but always have my temp gun to back up it all. So at the end of the day that was an expensive lesson. Hope this helps someone else
