Found some utility tail lights at the local AutoZone. Got them hooked up temporary and noticed they are different lenses. Nice to have the back-up lamps in them.




Get the rusty brake lines replaced and I'll be able to drive it around the yard.

Got the windshield installed tonight.

Going to let it set for awhile before opening it. So the gasket has time to lay flat.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......ye olde crank-out windshield.....I had one on my '41.......

my wife said "does this thing have A/C?"

I said "Yes.....turn that handle about 5 times and it will come on Maximum!"

I sealed my ranger windshield (I may make the cowl vent workable)

It's on the back burner for awhile. But plans are to be back on it this fall.

I recently picked up an over-sized glove box from I-R-POPS Designs (a dodge guy from another board). This week it got installed. Instead of using the factory springs on the door and cutting into the box, JB Weld was used to attach 2 strong magnets at the top of the opening to hold the door shut.
