It's one of those smells kinda like pussy. A little different but irresistible at the same time. :thumbsup:

Indeed, chasing gremlins at this point. A bit stressful to discern normal break in noises vs something that isn't right. Shook a big gremlin out this morning. Rear brakes. I won't bore everyone with the details. All good now. Nice cool morning this morning, we took it out for a rotor seasoning...

Semper Fi Brother.

Have been taking it on shake down drives for the past couple of days. 35 miles on the odo at this point. A few subtle "whirrs" which I attribute to tranny, diff and brakes all getting to know each other. The tank was half full of 91 pump gas. I dumped 5 gallons of 110 VP in it and went to a...

Got it all lined out today. Drives nice. Hard to find 'ol boys that aren't afraid of these cars these days. An old friend of mine did it. He didn't even charge me for my "help"!!

Wish we could post videos like we used to but I get the reason. Shake down drives today. Several short loops around the cul-de-sac getting the T-Bars dialed in to where the front's weren't rubbing. Then a couple of laps around the neighborhood produced some rattling in the CalTracs as the mono...

BTW, if anyone needs a gently used set of 68 Road Runner pearl white vinyl, I'll let it go for cheap. :lol:

Thanks RC, I think I'm just old and weaker. I was unsure if that bow was was natural or not. It's been a while since the interior was in. I'll give it a try. I also noticed that the driver side front seat back is a little tweaked as well. Too many hard launches back in the day I suppose. I'll...

Pushing hard to get the interior in this weekend. It's been a bit since I had to play with the rear seat in this car but I don't remember it being the hard @ssed bitch that was today. Maybe I'm just old and week these days. I had to resort to the 'ol back in the door jamb, left foot low, right...

If I crash his thing that hard I don't want to be alive to see the wreckage anyway. :)

I used the Borgeson on my 68. I simply collapsed the main shaft then re-pinned it. No cutting.

Slogging away here on interior. The décor pearl white interior on this car has presented some issues as it is fairly rare. No demand hence proper repo parts are not available. My youngest son and I (72 B5 Duster) will show side by side at the Wyo Tech show June 1. I have a month left to get...

I use one of those heavy gold staples that come on parts boxes. Straighten one out and shove it in there. Study it. You'll see what I mean.

Thanks Frank. All of this is VooDoo to me. Your input is invaluable.
