I've recently been drug out of bachelorhood and am engaged to be married. Part of my end of the preparations is to do some TLC to my 61 Desoto so we can us it for the wedding as it's the same car my parents used in their wedding.
Because the Power Wagon has been the primary project in my garage for many years now the poor girl has been neglected other than bare minimum care and maintenance, so while the problems aren't as bad as I worried they were, there's still a lot of maintenance to do.
The point of all this is that after 10 years of figuring out how to basically design and build my own truck, the last few weeks of replace/rebuild/repaint is almost calming and relaxing by contrast. Hardest part is trying to find some instructions on how this TRW power steering pump is supposed to go back together since I was an idiot and lost the orientation of the wipers.
I do need to get my running boards fabricated and installed on the Power Wagon though, the tires kick stuff all over the side of the truck pretty badly without them.
