Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
I was pretty discouraged by the software update. For the past 2 years I'd been using FABO as an online notebook for work done in my garage. I searched through my own thread often to track progress on projects or to find useful info that I hadn't recorder elsewhere. When the pictures disappeared it became really difficult to find stuff. - And it made me realize that I should have chosen a better place to chronicle events. (Of course, it's hard for me to search through other folk's threads too)
A few days ago I started copying all the posts and pictures into a WORD document file. At the rate it's going, - it will take me months to complete. I considered closing this thread but don't want to until I finish copying everything onto one of my home computers.
I've been hesitant to post any updates for fear that they won't appear as I want and because it will add to the amount I will have to copy later. - But here goes...
It's been almost a month since we took the Roadrunner to the shop in Grand Island to have the efi worked on. - It's still not done. The last update I got was that they did find a problem with one of the sensors inside the throttle body. That was 6 days ago.
I did finish rewiring the truck & trailer so that I won't have to constantly recharge the trailer battery. It was more critical now that the new winch is attached to the trailer. I also had an intermittent loss of lights on the trailer and found a broken off pin in one of the connections on the truck. I finally got around to installing the new brake controller on the truck. Now our tow rig is ready for whatever.
Work has continued on the funnycar. The wheels look pretty good with the polish job I did. I'd like to re-do them once more but I really needed to get the car rolling so I could get it out of the garage. The Charger needs to come back in so I can pull the K-frame out and send it back to Hemidenny to be modified for the coming Hemi.
After fabricating new body hinges and mounts I put some time into stripping off more of the remaining paint from the body. It's far from done but it's not as much of an eyesore anymore.
I don't know if these pictures will show up. They don't when I try to preview the post.
