Just got home and found this guy in the back yard!

Not today, but yesterday.

Dad looks busy!

Joe

Almost a solid two days of cutting, fitting, rerouting and wrapping. Turned out nice. Looks insane in the picture. Have tonpost the finished product

Dad pulled the hood off of the next project today:

 

[Rodeo Joe]

73 Mustang, Dad's car Rod?

Eleanor!

73 Mustang, Dad's car Rod?

Joe

Yep. He bought this one new. He's been adding on to his shop to create space for it in the main room. It's nearly time to get started on this car.

I love the 71-73s, it’s almost a dirty secret to be a ford guy and say that sometimes but i always liked them since I was a little kid.

Fun fact* it’s the only first gen Mustang where the shock towers have reasonable clearance AND the only first gen Mustangs where the trunk floor isn’t the damn gas tank

 

[Rodeo Joe]

Details! I see it has 302, Coupe, fastback, Mach !? What are his (your) plans?

Both of my brothers had 71-73 Mustangs, I was the early guy with the gas tank being the trunk floor!

Saw this a few times over the summer. I really dislike GM, but in part because killing Pontiac was a travesty and these third Gens were childhood hero’s of mine… long live Kitt! Fuck Camaros!

It's a coupe. Plan for now is rebuild the engine, add FI, Trickflow heads, go to a modern AC system, install a AOD from a '89 XR7, replace everything brake/suspension related, paint the engine bay, add SFC's, and probably stick some Magnum 500 wheels on it. Want to make it a nice cruiser for my Mom and Dad. It's been in the back of his shop since the late-80's, but it's in amazing condition for having sat that long.

Finally got my TV antenna installed and wired in. We cut the cord years ago but I've been procrastinating getting the antenna up since we moved in this house last year.

Now that most of Tennessee's away games are OTA, it was time to get the ladder out. I wanted to mount it at the top of the eave, but my ladder doesn't stretch that tall. I'll have the roofers move it whenever I get it replaced.

Remember when I showed my functional oil pressure gauge on a high 90s day and shocking and awing you guys with how low it was?

Today




Consistently inconsistent lol Can’t imagine why Ford stopped using variable senders

Is that oil temp or oil pressure gauge? because mine always sits on the high side. I just chalked it up to my high-pressure oil pump. Am I missing something?

It was 96 for you today?!

Man, it was a nice 80 here in SoCal today!

Finished up a clean-up and re-wire of this 1927 Emerson Jr oscillating fan. Nearly 100 years old and it works great!

Video of it in action:

 

[CDsDontBurn]

Nice!

Question about the fan though. How many fingers do you think it's chopped off (or severely injured) in its nearly 100yr lifespan?

I'll say that I sure wouldn't want to stick my fingers in there!

 

[Rodeo Joe]

A little noisy but I'm sure it really does the job!

I think it's missing one leather washer that controls end-play, but I'm not tearing it back apart, at least not at the moment. It's destined to be a "wall hanger" for the shop; it won't actually see any real use.

 

[Vicinity]

Actually a couple weeks back

 

[Chingon1]

Came up yesterday on these 4 monolith m10 v1’s for 800$. Only got a chance to run one and watched Jurassic park, holy moly haha never had a powered sub at home. Thing sounds pretty good for being a 10”. The plan is to keep 2 and sell 2. Literally don’t have the space or wall power to run them all. Gonna get some XLR cables today and try out 2 after work.

My sister hit one of those yesterday on her way home. Really messed up the front end and car will probably be totaled. Damn deer.... "headlights.... " and they stop dead in their tracks.

Nice find RaceCougar! I love those old fans! My grandmother had them in her rooms in Ohio. So nice to have in the summer (no A/C back then).

Discovered the reason why it was noisy on the first startup. I had lightly oiled everything while reassembling, thinking that was plenty. Nope. Reading up on these fans, they take 20cc's of oil (a lot of oil, IMO) in the shaft. I squirted some in and it's nice and quiet now.

Not sure if I should be flattered or pissed.

My car was on car gurus under 1994 Cougar and some random dickweed had his name under the caption.

I wasn’t THAT pissed until I saw a ad for car gurus on TV. It just seemed like a junk car website, but they have an advertising budget now??? Pay me!

 

[XR7-4.6]

Took the little Honda for a few laps around the block tonight… I’ve been going back and forth lately on selling it, thinking it’s out of my system, but it sure is fun when the weather isn’t nuclear meltdown hot whilst trying to be pseudo safe in a leather jacket for a few miles at no more than 35mph

Leonard helping The Momma's make yet another sample quilt. The math involved is insane.

 

[theterminator93]

My wife has been making quilts lately. Knowing everything that goes into doing it well, I have a new respect for and appreciate the attention to detail of anyone who makes them from scratch.
