Interesting... the parts car may have just paid for itself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Put the white car on jack stands last weekend, took the bumpers, valances, and rockers off for some paint and new bumper tops, and took the wheels off to get my new tires mounted.
Got the new tires on, today fixed an oil leak and tightened up a loose muffler bracket, then put it on the ground and went for a drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Love the new tires.....no more sliiiiiiiding around corners. Jeff |

Progress! After pulling the car off the road over a year ago to fix a bad rear wheel bearing and massive oil leak, today I got the car off the jackstands, out into the driveway, and proceeded to power wash every thing in the rear of the car. The previous owner lived on rural property down a long dirt road. Mix that fine red clay dust with fresh oil and you have a petrified mess! I also decided to pull the trigger and go 5 lug (Eric Shea group buy). So back into the garage and back up on the stands. I'm excited again to be working on the car!
    Oh, I also decided to pull the tattered backpad (sponge) out. I'm glad I did. Plenty of surface rust and a couple of spots to patch up. Dang! |

Went to Mikes (kg6dxn) Saturday, picked up a new cowl piece for the black car, picked up the seats Mike picked up for me from Geoff (strawman), for the yellow car. Thanks again Mike, and Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Then I got home and the muffler I bought on eBay was here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Picked up a new bursch for $109, sometimes you gotta love ebay. So today I took the old rusty bursch off the white car and put the nice new one on. What a difference, didn't realize just how bad the old one was. Now back to work on the bumpers.

Drove it out to the flying field for the maiden flight of my 1/6-scale clipped-wing Cub. The 914's footwells are soooo much roomier than my '06 Miata's....makes the plane much easier to transport.

Nice, Doug. I'm sorry I never bought any of the Byron Original planes before they went under (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

In honor of our COTM winner (Al Garcia), I decided to spruce up my gauges with some LEDs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
I had no idea what the hell I was doing but it came out pretty damn nice...and bright as hell. Rubbed some rubbing alcohol on the insides to clear any oils and grime then stuck the led strip right behind where the glass circles sit. Taped them in with heavy duty masking to let the adhesive set.  Plugged the light holes with vacuum plugs, grounded the LED off of each gauge ground and spliced the wire into the lighting wire. Not too shabby  I really should have sourced some glass circles instead of reused the scratched plastic crap I have, but thats an easy enough change later. As you can see on full bright the scratches reflect so bad its just a bright light...doesnt look as blinding bright in person though.  Although I never met you Al, thank you for providing this great service to our members, RIP sir. |
