Mike...thanks for posting the vid. also thanks for picking me up at Brians shop yesterday...enjoyed having lunch with you...

Got my headliner installed this morning. I thought the wrinkles were going to be a problem but they pulled out fine. The wires you see in the pic go to the auto-dim mirror. Going to call the glass guy this evening to setup an appointment and I will finish putting the interior back together tonight.

 

That came out nice - I have a lighted rear view mirror so I will be needing to run wires to mine when I get to doing my headliner

 

Had my new AC hoses connectors crimped today, hopefully get them on the car tommorrow. Getting a new C4 nx week, built an installed by Hendricks racing a local performance shop in the Chicago area. My current C4 works and shifts fine, it leaks slightly, and I don't want to push my luck any further.
Want to make the RU and don't trust it.

 

Well, I took the car to work today and had our detail shop install the custom grabber stripes. They came out great but the guy's said they wouldn't ever want to do it again. The stripes material was very thin and gave them a hard time releasing from the backing. They told me it was as if they were old stripes that were sitting around awhile. I custom ordered them in silver and green in April and they have been in my AC house since then so Im not sure why they were such a problem. I'm only glad I decided not to do them myself. Pictures to follow this weekend.

 

A friend put new stripes on his brothers Ranchero about 3 months ago and had the same problem with it being thin matererial.

 

met Jeff and Jimmy at Baby Janes for lunch...A Large Time Was Had By All... after that i went to Summit and picked up a scoop for the hood Mike gave me...Thanks Mike...:Handshake
Harold cut the hole in the hood for me this morning with his plasma cutter...Thanks Harold...:Handshake
took the hood to Kings house (another Maverick guy) and we striped it to bare metal and put DP40 primer on it...Thanks King...:Handshake
came home and Effie helped me set the hood on the car so it could finish drying...Thanks Effie...:Handshake
i was going to put DP90 on the hood tomorrow but Effie suggested to leave it Gray W/black scoop, now i don't have to shoot it again...Thanks Effie...:Handshake
installed the A/C condensor.
made up the other two A/C lines, will get them crimped in the morning...

...Good Nite...

 

Got it off the horses and back down on all four legs...Gonna have to re-work the front fenders for tire clearance..

 

Knocked some total tiiming out and added a vac advance curve to my msd controller trying to get 87 octane ready for the gathering trip!

 

Got my Radio put in with the help of Spyguy. Works great...sounds...well, all i can say is 1 stock speaker = sound. Had a good time meeting Scott and hope to see him around and get the cars together again!
