Got it loaded on the trailer, ready for Chinamans!!

Took it for a spin up to Winsor to deliver Royce's C4.

not much really..........

cleaned up and painted the elusive 5.0 Ford steel oil pan and installed it

cleaned up the garage a bit to make it easier to work in

Viper Built C4 was installed...WOW...new motor is awesome with the tranny working! Thanks again Phil!

Drove it to Ace to pickup some bolts....on the way I turned the heater on to test for winter....damn that blower upgrade works wonders!

Havent done much. First time since 2001 that I didnt take it elk hunting. I must say it was pretty nice to drive the truck. But before I left I did look into why it wanders so bad down the road. Gonna build a track bar riser and ditch the drop bracket. It is flexing like crazy.

I brushed off about 8" of snow off mine for the 1st time today.

I didn't do anything to the Bronco today. I did install two 8 foot T8 florescent fixtures in the garage:) Total of 8 bulbs in there now...I can see!

I'm getting ready to do something similar. My entire garage is also on one 15 amp and when the compressor kicks on, it trips the breaker. I think I'm going to add a 20 amp breaker and run a line to a new outlet for the compressor and the heater.

Just set a 100 amp sub panel in the garage. That's what I did in boogers garage. Every outlet is its own 20 amp circuit. Plus tons of lights and the heater.

Did a similar job on mine a couple years ago. Have (3) 8ft and (3) 4ft fluorescent and ran two new 4-gang 20 amp circuits between the doors on the garage. Been really nice. Everything in mine was also 15amp. weak!

I thought a about a sub panel...but since I still have a few open slots in the main one, I think I'll go the new circuit route instead. It's obvious that newer homes are not built with any hobbyists or mechanics in mind! 1 15Amp....bla!

I'm not done, but since everyone is bragging about the electric in their garage, I've set new 200 amp service to my entire home & ran a new 100a breaker panel in my garage. I haven't run the new circuits yet, just attached the old wiring to the new panel (don't tell the electric inspector). I do have an open electric permit to do my whole home, so the garage is going to have to be finished correctly. But I'll have plenty of room to grow after the inspectors leave. It will be nice. My whole home & garage were run off a 100 amp service, total. But since the home was built in 1882, and was still running some knob & tube when I started the upgrade, 100 amp was probably a lot when it was installed.

Started taking panels off today,
Front clip ,Doors, hood etc.
Hopefully tomorrow I can start draining all the fluids in preparations to yank the engine Trans and T-case.

Did a whole bunch of brake work on my F250 and when I was going through a tool box of parts I found an old Window crank handle from my 64 F100. I thought to myself "I sure could use my vise grips today" so I took the vise grips off of HULKs drivers door window crank and installed the handle. I really did do this today too.


Oh I did think about Calling Greg to see if he had a hammer and a block of wood I could borrow to get my vice grips loose.

I followed my inner lemming and replaced a shop light that had burned out. I also finally got around to installing a 250w metal halide that I'm not using on my aquarium out in the shop. I'm hoping that in addition to providing blinding amounts of light that it will also keep me warm.

Used all that new light to take out my heater box and disassemble both it and my spare to take the best parts for a newly sealed, rebuilt heater. Picked up the parts yesterday for the upgraded motor and squirrel cage.

I bought a 1997 Ford Explorer motor complete with all the peripheral's. It has the GT40 (P) heads and upper/lower intake, yada, yada, yada. I get to pick it up next Saturday.

Replaced front bump-stops and sealed up the interior a bit better for the winter
