I finally got to drive it again after 5 WEEKS of dormancy.
OK, it was only 16 days but that's the longest I've gone without it in a couple of years...burned up 11.62 gallons.
It was a beautiful day!
I did have to pick a bug turd off of it though.

Got all inside controls for opening and locking the driver's door done. It's amazing how many ways can work, but only one way is correct. The right door should be much easier for tomorrow. After being apart for 20 years, the parts can kinda look foreign. The shop manual has some good pictures, but a lot of missing stuff for identification and locations. Slowly, but surely............small victories.
I got a late start, as my wife had her gall-bladder out today. She was sleeping, and I went to the garage/shop.

Installed an NOS Choke control module, that I paid way too much for I'm sure, but it works great, car fires up and idles nicely, and choke works just like it rolled out of the factory! My original one, only worked if it got super hot, because the original contacts are pretty much burned off!
LOL, took pics of my inside doors in Nov.2017, already worried it won’t be that easy.

Tip for you folks working on door internals. Wear long sleeves and put some kind of protective covering on the sharp sheet metal edges around the openings. This will keep your fore arms from looking like you tried to give a cat a bath.

Too late. That's how you know the guys who really work on their cars. I was bragging to my wife about how I didn't get cut while doing that work. Yesterday, I noticed all the cat-scratches. The bruises from working in such cramped-quarters, bothers me more.
Most of the time, I get into doing what I'm doing so intently... I don't notice when I'm actually hurting myself. This was from the exhaust of my cut-off wheel. I didn't think it was that cold....but wasn't quitting till I finished the long cut. Sometimes, I'm not too S-M-R-T.

War wounds.
I believe in working smarter, not harder. I was called lazy a few times for that.

Long sleeves and mechanics gloves for me. I never used protection when I was younger but as you get older, all you have to do is bump yourself and you're bleeding.

That's important if you take blood thinners and could even be deadly if the cut is deep enough or in the right place.

I'm generally a one-man-show, and working on/building 3-4 cars at a time. Sometimes working harder is the only option. How much progress I make on these multiple projects....speaks volumes to people who maintain a single car. And people who can't, won't, don't work on these old POS cars, have no real understanding. Sometimes ya gotta suck-it--up, cause the clock never stops running. You're never gonna have war-wounds, unless you fight the war. I work very smart, just have lots of work to do. Working-Smart, is smart.
