I think I know how old my Mustang's trans fluid is, and I don't want to admit it.

Brewster, how's the Covid battle going? Hope you're about over it!

My sister that still lives with my parents has it right now. My Mom called me in a panic last night because her test faintly showed a positive result (it was negative this morning). So I went late last night to get my Dad from the airport... kinda got a case of the dragginazz today.

Couldn't tell you really, didn't have any symptoms of the virus before or in recovery . Once they got that crap out of my lungs and could breath again, felt the same ever since...great but at the same time a little weak. But they said I tested positive for it.

I must of had a slight case of it I guess. It was more the heart failure thing than anything....fastfood and pops almost did me in.

Don't have an answer for that yet. I hope so.

I should know a lot more within the next 4 weeks..4 appointments this month alone. They're going to figure out what exactly is going on with my heart and go from there...they don't know for sure yet.

AK! Good to see you pop in! Red's looking good! Where did the gauges come from, again? And I would probably never considered a black wheel.* That looks perfectly at home.

* Not sure why, because there's now a black FR500 style wheel in my gray-interior Mustang.

Hey Ohio........that wheel is from an Explorer. It matches the Ligjtomg style, without the small bumps. I like it and it has to be warmer in the winter than the Gator wheel with the woodgrain plastics.

I swapped cluster out because my tach would hang up at 2500 and you had to tap the lense to get it down to correct.

That looks GREAT, my friend. I assume it all works? What did you do for a clock spring?

This was the gasket on the 'Yota. Instead of a flex joint, the "ball and socket" is designed to move. Weird setup, IMO.
