You should see Gatlingburg... it’s packed. Me and my family one of the few wearing masks. And carrying a ton of hand sanitizer.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Working 11-5 today. Gonna stop at the paint store on the way in and see if they have a can of SEM for my headrests. Probably have to order it.

Isnt spring about over?
Yeahh...But if you remember that Spring Show was postponed ????
I hope to get my seat belts installed and the yearly service done on the Swinger. Might have a car cruise to go to one of these days. LOL
Hey was looking at the steering coupler on the 74 dart, do I have to drop the column to do it? Been a long time. FSM does not state it either way.

I should change the oil in mine, all of the other stuff is done. Well maybe a wash and a wax, but I hate waxing.
Wax on
Wax off

Ohhh I thought it was cancelled fully
Anything fancy for oil? I just use Valvoline 10/30 Conventional and some Rislone zinc supplement.

Hmm, think so. Pretty sure I slid it together as I put the column back in. Probably have to unbolt from floor and pull it back.
The neighbor needed a cracked windshield put back in a Ram she sold so it can drive to Michigan. Hell nice truck, crew cab normal rot with a gen II hemi, sold it for 500! I would have grabbed it if I knew! Think it was a 2006.

To remove it? I did. It was easier that way. But I have also simply driven out the pin and removed the steering box. I find the column removal is easier if there’s an engine in the car

Don’t think they canceled anything. But schedule is packed now. Usually at least a couple weeks between shows. I think some are bacK to back weeks now
That's that's what I thought.
Crap I have a ton of wiring that has to be taken off the steering wheel to do it, no real slack except for the coil to the wheel itself! That's a full day job now. Crap just the rubber seal melted!
I don't think you have to do all of that. Just loosen the column enough to slide it off to put the rubber in. But with a big block and headers may make it tight

Good Morning folks
I have room took the booster off, headers are getting a new gasket so at least semi loose. Just going to suck to do it alone.
And doesn't your column slide up in?
I am not sure. I hope so will pop the coupler first and see what happens. FSM sucks on that part.

Numerous circle tracks nearby are having "No Spectator" events next weekend
and I heard our track is having an open practice today.

Mine had just one connector to undo and then pop the shift linkage off. Maybe 15 minutes and it was out. I didn’t even have to pull the dash
