That's enough to make it worth firing up.
The ground is warm enough here that the best strategy seems to be get it down to pavement early so its dry by sunset.
Might be in the front of the wiring area where they show the plugs!No idea. I couldn't find a part number in either '67 or '68 parts book. Might be there but I can't find it so no cross references
Any one interested in it?
Heres one, just finished the second one.
Let the welding begin!
Some. I thought I had it sold yesterday but the guy low balled me. I don't mind a reasonable offer but I hate being lowballed. I told him I will give it away before he would get it
Actually I might. Heat can help to relax the muscles BUT inflamation needs cold.I wish I had a recommendation for you...
Hang in there...
Seriously, you may need to put on some ice packs and stsay away from the heat pad.
You can buy them at Menards or a good hardware/home improvement store....

I had a neighbor stop by last week. He has a gorgeous 65 Mustang. Set up for auto x. He was checking out the Duster saying it was a cool project and when he got to the engine compartment he was taken back a bit. He wasn’t expecting that. Then came what I kinda saw as sideways complements. He said he wished he had the skills to do this type of work ie. floor pans, suspension, engine etc. that he has to pay someone to do everything. Then proceeds to talk about his 408 stroker built by one of the premier race engine builders in the area. And his custom suspension that some Mustang guru from down south put in and set up for him and all the time shipping it here and there, and cash he’s put into this car. Now please don’t get me wrong it is a work of art. Certainly a car to be proud of and enjoy! He seems to be a decent enough guy. It just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Would love to have someone like your neighbor around to bounce ideas off of or get advice or even just shoot the crap with. Makes me very greatfull I found this forum and the Coffee Shop. Rant over!

That should equal the score.

Catching up reminded me of a news story that I heard on the radio this week...
There was a crime committed in Terra Houte, IN and the perp was driving a green Valiant... I forgot what the crime was.... And they didn't say what year or range of years the green valiant was...
So anybody see a green Valiant near Tera Houte, IN, get a license number and call the police...

You can always mention that of all the @ssholes you've met, he's the nicest one.... That will confuse him a bit...
Well time to go shovel out.
Uhm Tikes is green and he did say he took it out yesterday!
Wasn't me!
