Big dummy me realized that I forgot to take the retaining clips for the upper windshield trim from the yard, so I can't install the one I scored.

Did some general cleaning......this sucker is HELLA dirty......the glass is all pretty rough (almost frosted in some spots) and will need to be either replaced or seriously buffed/polished (if that's even possible or worth it)

And......here's the junk that was in the various pockets, cubbies, ashtray etc. Not pictured: 1/2 an inch of built up sludge from god knows how long ago.

Looks like my ash tray. I haven’t cleaned it out yet, I probably should. It’s only been 14 months. 😂

Thats a lot

I'd consider the dinosaur a score and would put him somewhere funny in my shop.

My wife would be glad to know that you found the pieces to the puzzle she was working on recently.

My buddy Leon would " sand paper down " those Autolite plugs and use them in his Old School Econoline back in the Day.

I don't have pictures, but i started my front end rebuild over the weekend. Also fired a few rounds off with the parts cannon. Purchased upper control arms, lower ball joints, inner/outter tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm, reman steering box, trailer hitch, front calipers, all 3 brake hoses, and my chin spoiler and fender flares came in.

I have the interior about 95% laid out.











I am also running through my head about installing the CB in the console or in the ceiling. But I have a few other ideas I am kicking around right now.

^ That's an interesting spot, but no idea why you'd want it there...?

The Econoline started cranking on it's own last week and now I've got a no start issue. Going to have to back burner that because of the wind storms here knocking out power for days, and taking out a tree and part of my fence along with it.

Yesterday I started dying the Starcraft seats I pulled from the yard last week. Went with some Rit dye mixed a little stronger than the directions said, but I don't think even that's enough to blacken them. Will probably have to do another pass with less water, good thing I bought 4 bottles. Top is dyed, bottom is original.

Looking good CF!
