Well... i'ts going to be musical parts. The 89 is getting the carpet, weatherstripping, and possibly the speaker grilles. The stuff coming out of the 89 will then be for Frankie... it's good enough for what I need for it.

I picked up this 2 amp DeWalt charger/maintainer. I really like it, but the clamps kinda sucks deez nutz. Not nearly as big as I'd like. Might need to make some mods. Notice the Alaska F150 plate in the background.... she's a beauty!

Yes, me too. Still have a ways to go, but we will get her there. My SIL is coming from WY tomorrow to stay with her while I get back to work on Monday. I think that will be good for her to see her sister. I ordered an "at home" EKG for her today as well. Got it from Amazon so if it's a POS, I'll send it back.

4.7 stars on almost 12K reviews has to tell you something though.

LOL, well.... that's my third one now The other two are from Amazon... and those work well too. They are only 1.2 amp, so not as quick. I was thinking tonight that I oughta build a battery charge station of some sorts, LOL. I may run over and get an Exide battery for the 89 tomorrow. I need a backup for the F150 this winter. The old Interstate is showing signs of its age.

I really like the replacement F150 plates better. It does look good there though.

Hard.

You can shop for parts. Do some editing if you have some. Paint the kitchen.

Call SIL, tell her there's a 100 spot in it for her if she can make it here by 3.

I did shop for car parts, kinda. I had to go to HD for some wood, so that Exide battery made it onto my cart. Really not a bad deal at all. Three year free replacement and 850 CCA for $99. Probably stick it in the F150 right outta the chute though. I don't need to get stranded.
