    I did the happy dance :bananaman because my radiator finally arrived. Its been on backorder since March 3rd. I ordered a 3 row brass one made in the good old USA. 339-3 it also fit a 69 Mustang with a 250 6cyl. I didn't really need one but I just wanted to upgrade to a new one with three row. A little preventive maintenence never hurts ...

    There is a good traction control system out now that compares the rotational speed of the left front wheel with the rotational speed of the left rear wheel - when you lose traction, the computer reads the increase in rotational speed of the left rear wheel sending a signal to a taser unit hooked up directly to body imputs sending out 10,000 volts which causes only the right foot to come off of the gas pedal at high speed and the left foot to spasm hard on to the brake pedal until control is re-achived :yup::yup:

    Not much in the way of progress, today. Finish covering the rear deck w/ vinyl covering and in the process of installing new Rockford Fosgate spk's I was held up by the lack of hardware, that shud have came w spk's. The terminals are different sizes, "neg side- smaller than pos. The spk's that came out had the same size terminals. They were to cheap to include connectors, and the hardware "8 screws", to install the them, had some kind off spring nuts that wud tear ur hand up if u inadverently brush against them. I guess it's safe to say; I won't be lookin to make RF equip my first choice frm now-on.
    Anyway, I got P$$ -Off and just called it a day abt 3:00pm after abt 2 hrs of work on a beautiful 67 deg, low humidity day. I had planned to reinstall newly recovered rear seat and put the interior back. Well, I'll shoot for it tommorow. :yup:
