Well the sewing machine gets to contribute today. It's -36C with the windchill, so I'll finally get the back seat fitted. I freaked yesterday when I found a connector that went nowhere at the rad. Everything was connected before... But I'm not putting back the AC, so here was the AC connector. The diagrams I downloaded from the fpkvideoonline.com sight for the 1979 didn't show the AC wiring, but the 1982 Mustang did, and none of the manuals for the 1978 do either. I guess accessories are in another manual. Tomorrow may be OK, for a bit. - 15C.
When I drove through Southern Saskatchewan in sand storm, I gotta tell ya, that I was so thankful I took that course 15 years earlier. I'd never seen one in my life, and I saw pickups with trailers on their sides, windshields sand-blasted from driving head-on at highway speeds into an 50 MPH wall of flying sand! I like nutz. Thanks.[/quote] Now I've only visited eastern Canada. I didn't know there could possibly be a sandstorm in Canada. In my minds eye it's all green in the east, green in the west and tundra like in the middle except for the several million acres of wheat also in the middle. I've been to 26 countries on six continents and have never been to Mexico or Canada except for the little visit in 1966 at the St. Laurence Seaway. I do remember buying a nickel candy bar and getting 2 cents change. Learn something new every day.

The one that always amazes me in the US, is some entrepreneur building something where you'd never expect it and he makes a fortune! In western Montana, there's a 36-hole Golf Resort with the Hotel built like an Egyptian Pyramid. I drove through there in July 1977, and thought I'd taken a wrong turn leaving Detroit!!!, Some I've seen going through Georgia and Tennessee, and down to Baton Rouge and LA and Northern California. Wow! Build it and they will come, seems to work in the US.
All I want for Christmas is my License Plates!! I have to work with the weather, and I figure I need about 6 decent days to wrap it up. But the way this weather is, that could be another two weeks. I didn't move the distributor, so it should crank up fine on the first go. It's mainly reassembly. Read the circuits, plug it in... now. All the interior trim might take a day or two. Then vrooom, vrooom!
On 4 inches of ice and snow? I'll fake it and put the tea-kettle at the back wheels! When its this cold, the Exhaust fog doesn't even let you see the car in front of you at the Stop light.
If ya wanna see a burnout, I could just post a pic of Norman... Hey, just razzin' ya bud ... I'll drop by with that heat riser for you this week. I've been trying to stay off the roads! Tell ya what, when you get 'er going I'll get out the videocam and you can do some donuts for everyone!!
I was wondering if the Reb was gonna ride my case for videos, too! Good to know you've got one. If I looked burned out, its probably winter cabin-fever.
I knew it! I just knew it! No rest for the innocents! Well, you'll have to wait or the batteries might freeze-frame the action!
I figured I'd throw this in here, in case anyone is thinking about good Upholstery info: http://www.upholster.com/howto/ It covers all kinds of upholstery (Furniture, Boats, and Automotive). Sunvisors, Headliners, Seats, Door panels, Carpets, its all there, and a few books, links to suppliers and other DIY info.
