Today I went to FIVE different local auto parts stores looking for a pair of Sylvania SilverStar headlights. I finally managed to find one at an O'Reilly and another at AutoZone, only to get home to find that one didn't work and one was in a box that had been opened and resealed with a used, different model headlight inside.

Amazon wins again. It really shouldn't be so hard to spend money locally.

That's annoying.

Well, I just ordered my one wire alternator for the van because I'm tired of playing catch up inside the wiring harness. I figure I'll go one wire and delete the headache. But, this means taking apart the whole front again and I can now access a lot of things I couldn't before. I'll just move that Cal Custom gauge set up to the van and use the Ammeter, Econometer, and the Oil instead of the Mustang.

I drove down to Redwood City in the South Bay Area today to pick up a 1937 radio for my uncle. While loading it up, I noticed a cherry 1969 across the street.

It was a nice surprise after seeing countless 80’s Chevy and Dodge vans. If anyone here is into radios, I also got to see a Zenith Stratosphere. They were made in 1935 and cost $700 brand new. Only 100 were made and 16 are known to exist today. Absolutely amazing piece of technology for the time.

The final cherry on top was picking up a NOS Venturi Vent lid to restore a decent one I have in storage.

Today was a good day.

Dropped shocks, radius arms and I beams. Spent about 20 minutes trying to upload a photo from iPhone, think I’ll go back to not doing that again.

Some teaser pics of the dog house cover I had ordered from Clint Wilson in Kansas. He has original patterns from 70's products and uses them to make his. I can't sing his praises enough. Everything about working with him was quick, easy, and his price was great. All I did was tell him the size of diamonds I wanted and to add a pocket to the cover.

I received my cover yesterday and it has some solid weight to it. I may have to replace the panels I've been doing on my own later because his will far outlast mine.

Overall, I am very satisfied and would do business with him again in a heartbeat.
