Re: Project Quarantine

Well with the lovely summer heat here in AZ the progress has slowed a little but the daughter and the step son, jumped in and helped get a small project done. We tackled the badly wired stereo that was in the truck. Fixed the wiring and found some speakers that i had in the garage and we now have tunes in the truck. Also discovered that when i had replumbed the fuel system I didnt get the fuel line going into the fuel pump completely tight so it had a small leak and was sucking air. After all the work we were able to take the truck for a drive around the block a couple of times. Hopefully will get a few more small things taken care of and will get it registered and insured so it can be driven a little more.

Over the years I've noticed the higher the temps the fewer the posts in the projects and build section, myself included. It's only natural so try not to get discouraged. I guess only the guys who have an air conditioned workspace have no excuse!

Re: Project Quarantine

Yes the heat definately can slow progress, especially here in southern AZ 115 gets a little rough, we do have ac in the garage but between the race car and the wife's car, dont get to sneak the truck in too much lol. But we did for the last bit of work.
