Put the finishing touches on Dusterdenovo Jr. - It's not the right year, but no luck finding a '73.
Kicked the token Ford (68 Mustang) out of the display case over the workbench after 30+ years there.

You just don’t know how much work this can turn into until you dig in.
But I do enjoy it.

Replaced the U bolts holding my 8 3/4 rear in place....Found one of the old ones was way to long and round. Also found a an acorn lug nut and a few other nuts holding what was in place.....Its amazing what people use to put cars back together. Also put my 340 emblems on my hood scoops...Totally screwed up with the install but they look good.
 
I resurfaced the rotors in the mommyvan......whoo hooo!
Rotors resurfaced and pad lube: $30
Wife's bitching stopped.......Priceless
 
Changed oil and filter.

Swapped out the 15" flex fan for a 18" flex fan with a 1" spacer to run cooler in traffic.

Noticed that my new Griffin radiator has a leak at the resivoir tank and the cooling tubes. Going to have to get it replaced under warranty because I am not happy. Damn thing has been losing coolant since day one, and I thought the leak was somewhere else.

Was gonna drive the Duster today but apparently I have a loose connection under the dash. Looks like I’ll need to pull the column and cluster again and fix that. I also have a leaking connector in the oil pressure line and my tach isn’t working right so I’ll try to fix a few issues at once.
 
Just finished dash instrument cluster today . Its taken about couple weeks to lay out how I wanted to go about it seeing that 67/69 clusters aren't interchangeable with anything. Then a month to work with plexi glass and get wiring marked. I installed a GPS speedometer. All in all not great but I'm happy with the out come.

Had to add a ground to the new trans temp sender. Hope it works.

Lower radiator hose was leaking. Spent $6 on this jug so I didn’t have to babysit the gallon jugs.
