Same here. I still have most of my red on top, although my beard is solid white now. Kitty's hair is still deep auburn.

Thank you Bb!! I was thinking earlier it was a bid on the '72 FSM (Item #15).

I appreciate having sharp eyes backing me up. These updates are always after a long day in the shop so I'm bound to miss things.

She's amazing, eh? On top of her normal overloaded business workload, she's handling all this AND
she's keeping me chilled out via texts, too.

Lookit, I hate to admit this but y'all know me - I'm brutally honest and not afraid to say what's on my mind.
Before Leanna decided to do all this, I was in a pretty bad place and things had deteriorated to the
point I had resigned myself to selling the GTX so we could survive a while longer...
Prayers seemingly were not being answered and there was a LOT of them, trust me.
My wife knew if the car wound up leaving, a good chunk of me would have gone with it, too.

Hey, folks have been in similar spots before, I'm not special...

Leanna gets wind of our situation and next thing you know, she's wanting to step up and help.
I of course being prideful and stubborn protest some....hey, I never claimed to be the sharpest tool
in the shed.
Well, she managed to talk me into letting folks help - and after experiencing a whole lot of the
opposite of that, it took me a minute to try and accept that anyone would WANT to, leave alone
if I was worthy of such kindness.
As you all now know, she wound up successful - thank God.
I truly believe she's been "sent" and I couldn't be more grateful!

OK, enough of that. Once again, THANK YOU to everyone who's jumped in here and are participating.
You've renewed my optimism that things will be ok again one day soon and I've redoubled my efforts
yet again on my end to see that they are.
God bless everyone and I am so very blessed you care. :)

Well sure, that's what we're all on the planet for my friend. That's the way I was raised.
That said, all this is going to throw me WAY on the other side of the "kharma scale" methinks. :)

Looks great, I'm interested, does the kit include battery post terminals? If not which ones would you recommend?
Click to expand...

No battery post terminals.
I deliberately made all wires longer than original.
Also, on my own car I put a disconnect post terminal. I made the wires long so they could be routed away from headers.
