Speaking of NAPA and belts, I made 4 trips there in the last 2 days trying to find a belt that fit after replacing the harm. balancer pulley, which of course made the current belts useless. I should have just bought 10 of them and went to town, return 9.

PITA.

I went to 3 different yards today and wouldn’t you know it, I forget my drill at the farthest one away. Now I gotta get a new one. Pita.

In the mean time, I was able to successfully remove all the old gaskets from the pop out frames. I cleaned them up, sanded the rust, and in the frame channel was cancerous rust. I removed what I could and then filled it with epoxy. I’m letting it cure overnight before I paint it later today. Hopefully tomorrow I can install the gaskets and rivet the pop out arms.

*Whew!*

Well quick trip back to Napa, the new NEW belt is nice & quiet, it looks exactly like the other new belt, what's up with that??

Gas is about $3.50 here today. Cost about $100 to fill up my 33 gallon tank and it wasn't even empty yet.

Not today, but this past Sunday I added some swanky gold tassels.

Today I fixed the cancer stick ingniter and added a usb port while it's all taken apart. Redoing the doghouse insulation Saturday. I used dupli color vinyl and fabric aerosol to repait both whole pieces, because the color was really close, but just a touch lighter.

Well, gathering all the parts that are missing on my wheelchair lift, yeah, the "deal" dad got buying it, not so good, since I've had to buy so many pieces to make it function correctly, I detest liars, no way that lift was working, if that guy tried to use it as is it would tear pieces off of it. I've been robbed more over my replacement van than the 73 I drove for years before it, when its all said and done, what was spent to replace it, would have restored it, just makes me sick. Dad is happy tho, he likes the little shorty, hes enjoyed driving it around, now that I got the miss out of it I think he's pleased, its off to the shop for welding up the windshield frame holes tomorrow, I'd like to send this bill to the previous owner who drilled all the holes. I could use replacement windshield trim pieces for a 89 Econoline, nothing in the junkyards here.

On a whim, I found a guy selling some NOS fiberglass parts for a Mid Ford on Facebook. He had the fiberglass visor I wanted to order for the last 6 months. Not only was I able to pick it up, but he is going to be driving through Sacramento next week and will be able to drop it off. On top of that, I also found someone parting out a few 70's F100s. I was able to secure the disc brake spindles, caliper brackets, and the dust shields. Now I can convert the van over to disc brakes with readily available parts instead of unobtainium.
