    I just went through this with my blue 4-door. What a mess.

    See you in Dearborn, Dennis.

    Have new wheels on it now, and 4 wheel discs. Sure is much better. Be nice to see you again. Do anything different with your car?

    Today I cleaned the engine compartment up. Lots of greasy fingers from the steering fix.

    Removed the voltage regulator to paint it blue.

    Put the CORRECT hose clamps on my power brake booster hose.

    I scratched the inside of my door by putting on the wrong window crank. :doh: So I touched up the paint in that area.

    Just ordered window crank knobs and a voltage regulator sticker from CJ Pony Parts. We will see how fast I get the parts.

    CJ Pony Parts sent me an email that the parts are shipped.

    I checked out the car trailer today. Plates are current, registration is up-to-date. So it is ready to go.

    More to do tomorrow.

    I don't really drive my car enough to spend the money to get everything I want in a a/c system, although....my next car that I'm building will have a/c, since it'll be triple black....If it's too hot I may just take my F150, it has air conditioned seats. :D
