I always save my old handles just for the spring and internals ,problem is i dont know where i put them . The new handles springs are always so strong its almost impossible to push the button

Is this going to be at the fair grounds ?

We had to go into the food court to frame a couple of walls at lunch time ,about 100 convicts in there at the time ,they told us before entering if any thing happens stand still and the guards would intervene. ,my tool bag weighed about 75 pounds with tools and a pouch full of screws and a drill .of course one of the cons grabbed my drill and pointed it at me like it was a gun ...i was thinking i was going to have to go Chuck Norris on his ass when a voice inside my head said" BUT YOU DONT KNOW KARATE"! standing there like a deer in the headlights the guard slapped him in an arm lock and i grabbed my drill and boogied it out of there but, that was only the first time i had an interaction with one of the cons !

They ate the oil sender wire off my 2005 mustang ,i repaired it and a month later they ate the same wire on my brothers 2005 mustang and chewed up his hood insulation ,the wire hangs low but what worries me is the light wiring is even lower and its a bundle of wires . My cars are outside but under a zip up tent carport ,i am going to set some sticky traps in there and see if i can catch the little bastard !

For some reason this piece in aftermarket is hard to get into the door ,i usually wind up using the one from an original handle on the new handle

For the gas motor conversion when they figure out it isnt practical ?

Been working on it when i get the time ,so not a lot ! I sanded down both doors ,the hood ,trunk lid and both front fenders ,got them primed and block sanded ,one more primer coat and a good block sand and they are ready for paint . Still have the front and rear bumper ,the side skirts and a couple of smaller pieces to sand and prime and i can start on the body . It will be painted in pieces because its black and i can do it that way so it will be painted in three stages ,body first,then the doors ,fenders ,hood and trunk lid ,then the plastic pieces . Using a new clear that cuts and bufs real easy so painting in pieces will allow me to take extra care with each piece .

Hard to explain how but the tail panel needs a bump with a hammer and a block of wood ,it actually moves very easily so it doesnt take a lot ,hit where it would be under the end cap at the wide gap on the tail panel
Dynamat, etc, etc
