    Bought a new dome light assembly out of a later Ford out of the wrecking yard. Since a housing for the original is $150.00 and the same unit with more modern guts was only $10.00 it seamed like a good deal!

    Had the day off, took my kid to school, went by one of my best friends dads shop.
    He didn't even notice it was me in the car until i poked my head out.
    He gave her the once over, told me I did good then let me know what she needed.
    I put air in the front tires, haha

    Gas is 3.96 - well where i put it and i only use chevron.:mad:

    Started it. Let it come up to temp.
    Worked on the battery tray. It still looks like crap but I painted it so it looks like shiny crap.

    When you take your car in for an alignment, what specs do they use - Maverick or Mustang II?

    Fooled around with cooling system on my 2 door, no prevail.

    Mounted Cowl back up top (4 door) after class today. Drying as we speak.
    Next will be mounting rear end back and prepping body for paint.
