Have you ever dealt with something that technically should not work but somehow does?
I had those high readings on the high side yet the A/C blows cold air just fine.
Heck, man...I'm not skilled enough to know why it works. I'm glad that it does though.
I would like to know. I haven't called the CAA guy yet. Maybe I'll check with him this week just to satisfy my curiosity.
I went on a 180 mile road trip yesterday...90 miles to and 90 miles back from a car show. It was 85 degrees after the show. I would have been fine cruising home with the windows down but the wife wanted the A/C. I'm happy to have her along so what the heck!

I personally like driving my pos 91 Honda Prelude 4WS. The younger kids really like it and it's way more fun to drive than the charger or challenger ever were. Plus it pretty much infinitely repairable unlike my wife's 18 challenger T/A which will be obsolete in short order especially if the electronics start to go. On the plus side a 440 and 833 could be bashed in the challenger so there's that

Needle scalers are great. I used a cheap Harbor Freight unit to do the underside of my Jigsaw Charger 2 years ago.
Man, what a dusty job!

Picked the Ford up today. Is running better than she did when new. It was nice driving her with her new round tires. The square weenies were a real bear. She was jumping all over the road.

Next will be rebuilding the front end. The ball joints are a wreck causing her to "Road Walk." Next week we are taking her back so the remaining items can be repaired. She needs A/C work, Front End rebuild, and last but not least, a 2:73 rear gear to replace the 3:08 she came with.

Once all the Mechanicals have been completed she will be off to the body/resto shop for a minor ding repair and complete repaint. Last but not least will be a new leather interior.

Best Always

While the engine was getting prepped for paint, I realized that the only areas that haven't been cleaned up on this charger were the outsides of the front inner fenders and the bottom side of the front fenders. I got my needle scaler out and hit these areas to remove the undercoating. If you haven't used a needle scaler yet, you should try it. Just be sure to wear ear/eye protection and a mask. I made a short 3 min video on youtube to show how well a needle scaler does. I've used the torch/scraper before but never will again.

I just came back from the store to buy some odds and ends to finish the install. I'll have everything up and running tomorrow and will let you know!

Parts & Accessories Wanted / Piece of headliner

Last post by Dino - May 18, 2024, 06:10:05 PM

There's a sizeable hole above my driver side sun visor, courtesy of some rodent. If anyone has replaced, or is about to replace, their headliner and could send me a piece of the old one, that would be great! For a 69. Any color will do. Something about the size of a sun visor should do nicely. Not asking for free either. I'm in 49201.
