In between football games, more car work

Autumn Saturday's in Alabama are reserved for college football, thus, we have not turned many wrenches on the Mustang in a long time, but this morning was excellent.


This morning Benjamin pulled the heater box from under the glove box/dash, ripped and cut out the ratty overhead headliner, removed the brake fluid reservoir from the engine compartment, removed the break line assembly from the engine compartment, removed an old battery tray, removed the interior automatic transmission shifter and assembly, removed all heater hoses and cables from under the dash, removed the cigarette lighter from the dash, and rode with Uncle Dan to Zaxby's to get some most excellent chicken, although the drive-through attendant was obviously texting or not familiar with the English language or possibly both as placing the order was more of something off of Jeopardy......"Alex, I will try 'What is Chicken Finger Meal?' for $500 please"....."

With the stripped down 'Stang resting in the garage, there is now time for Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening college football.


This Monday we will try to remove some paint and get to the bare metal. That is the plan. Benjamin is to be commended for his interest, enthusiasm and love for this car at the age of 13, and it is certain he will be proud of it when it is ready and he has his license.
