Might mount a starter solenoid in the trunk if I get done with the rear brakes on the Cummins 3500. Something funny going on back there. Put it in the garage last night to melt the ice off it for today.

Good luck on the truck, nothing like having to melt ice off to work on them; everything you touch feels like a chunk of ice.

Starting restoring my A66 Challenger convertible as a driver. 
Car was in storage since 1984.  I stripped out the interior and am in the process of sanding the rust and cleaning up the floor pan to get ready for some rust proofing and primer.

This will take longer then just one weekend!!!!!!

20-50? That's an air cooled motorcycle type engine oil isn't it?

Here is a good read on oil.

Well, we actually got some stuff done this weekend. Blown Motor and Cuda Jas dropped in Saturday. Nicky and I pulled the diff apart and bagged/tagged all the brake stuff. I was cleaning up the re-installation of the frt inr braces and I got my old solder gear out (for the first time in 35 years) and actually soldered up the lft 1/4-rocker seam. then we disassembled/ cleaned and packed the steering box and packed it for it's trip to FirmFeel, Slowly, but surely.  :cheers:

Well I had this oil in the engine because it had 111 degrees in the summer and I used this as a break in oil, I stored the car for the winter and I changed it to the best I found here in the forum.

Nice! First time at this show for me. I'd go again, nice show, lots of parts and good prices I thought. I got both bumpers, rear bumperettes , 2 nipple valve cover breather, spare valve cover gaskets, spare 1/2" fuel sender unit ( mine leaks a little) a few t shirts and tin signs for the garage.  :)

Finally installed the green LEDs I got off EBay in my gauge cluster.
Current went from 1.32A down to 0.20A for the 4 bulb total and it's brighter.
Simple change, but a nice improvement.
