Tracked down an electrical problem in the tail light circuit & fixed it. No more blown fuses, at least for a while.

I bought new door mirrors and weather stripping. Put the mirrors on. Didnt realize I needed adhesive to make the weather stripping stay in place.

I finally installed my hitch. It tucks a little deep under the bumper, but it is solid. Wired and ready to go. Now if only the engine ran... :m6:

if you take off the cowl panel and look down in the cowling air vent area directly over where the heater core is you'll find it (I hope that makes sense)


I also have these spots on both sides in the channel under the hood-to-cowl seal, and directly beside the other one

Started her up, listened to the misfire, realised I have more work to do than I thought to get her back on the road and then put the cover back on!

Well at least it feels that way when you are doing one. ;)

Changed the oil, fuel fliter and PCV valve. Finally made a spacer to raise the tranmission up and get the drivers side header pipe off of the transmission crossmember. A few more things to check tomorrow, preparing for about a 250 mile trip Sunday to Billet Proof Show in Giddings, Tx.

Thanks for understanding! :lol: I was thinking people would be saying to themselves: What, wax a roof? what so tough about that!

yea, doing a burb with rubbing compound is like doing 3 or 4 pick ups! Plus, with my burb I need to use a ladder to do everything from the hood up. I know :waah: but after wards - so nice! :)
