Yep, a Ford guy lives at your house!

Like my dearly departed daddy used to say, "a picture of a Ford would leak oil".

What area do you live in? That church on the corner looks familiar.

All your stuff is bitch'n. I've been work'n like mad on my Comet. Since it looks like all car stuff is on hold until at least next summer, I hope to have something worthy to go cruising with you.

Cool, man!

If it ain’t leakin’ it ain’t got oil in it. ;D

I know right where you are. Not far from the old Winnetka drive in movies. I grew up in Sunland-Tujunga, up in the foothills.

My wife grew up at Tampa and Chatsworth.

Maybe we can go to the Galpin Ford car show next year. I was signed up for the Irwindale Nitro Reunion that's been moved to October, but I don't see that happening.

Anyway, keep plugging away. Your running stock is very cool!

Not too long a haul from me either.  I'm in Long Beach. 

Like Tommy, my stuff has been slowed down a lot!  I'm getting back to making parts for an FE-related project soon...

Well today is the day that the mustang comes out of the garage and the Fairlane goes in.
Of course I drove it around in the neighborhood a bit. Sorry neighbors  ;D
It hooks really nice.
Still waiting for my plates from our wonderfully efficient DMV. ::)

C’mon

Yes indeed!  It also has the go to back up that aggressive stance.  I expect to see some "kills" painted on the door in the near future.

Thanks guys. I’m kinda thrilled with it.
That’s an awesome idea Mr. Conley. A bunch of little bow tie stickers like the rising suns on the plane.

Bowties and Mopars for sure, but in LA these are much more fun to humiliate:

Looking good Marc.  I like the stance too, just right.  Are you going back to work soon or still on hiatus?

We’ve started back up on Jeopardy and I fill in on Wheel.
The Voice is back also but I haven’t been doing it as it’s dates conflicted with Jeopardy which is my number one priority.
So the biz is coming back slowly which has been fine with me. Could use a couple more days a month just to not dip into savings.
All in all I’m loving the time to work on the cars.

Well that’s weird. I started to feel some play in the rear end. And the pinion yoke started making contact underneath. Got it back in the driveway and found that the bushings in the four link were disintegrating. Called to get some replacements and they asked how old the bushings were. I honestly couldn’t remember how long ago I bought the kit but it was a long time ago. They said yeah that old material ended up being garbage. New stuff is much better.
I’m just glad I haven’t romped on it yet. Had a feeling.
The only time I can remember plastic or this type of material (I know it’s not plastic) breaking down was in the instrument panels of ‘76ish Ford trucks. The instrument buckets used to actually dissolve into dust. Kinda like these bushings are doing (maybe it is plastic).
Anyway, new bushings on the way.
