Friday I finished up the heater assembley les the 11/2" Vent tubes to the defrosters and the 3 1/2" fesh air intake in the engine compartment. Going to have to find suitable
alternatives to stock. Other than those two items all works very well. Also slapped on the shocks Andrew had purchased but never put on. Seemed to really help out the ride.
I think those may have actually been original stock shocks! There was very little resistance on most. Less than 25% of the new ones. I think the were original as they were stamped " made in Japan" with part number. Just guessing here. Not sure how much resistance the leaf springs should have but shocks sure help with the return, and keep the tires on the ground better. Got to get some tail lights working. on to wiring issues...Wish me luck!

I've been removing the plastidip from my PAtrol. Its not fun but its getting done. all thats left it the top and the windsheild frame. I finished the rear sides and rear end today.
Then took it to the car wash to spray off the goo. Can't wait to start getting some body work done, and the prep for paint.

Looking great there Tony. I should be around this weekend so you can get the windshield frame if you are around Tr-Cities at all. As long as it doesn't keep snowing should be a great drive..... nothing down here now.. was about 1.5 inches out at work today.... yuck... just cold wet yuck... I am so ready for spring...

Oh man, I was just thinking about that Jeff. How ever I have to get My Wifes Grandmother moved in to her new Home on Saturday and sunday I will be at an Archery shoot in Zilla. I will make it there soon though will be in touch to set it up. Thanks for thinking of me. Hope all is going well. p.S. I don't think it looks so great but a necessary evil to get to a fresh coat of paint.
