Resisted the urge......
(Preview)
To go for a little spin yesterday. I was planning on a drive, but MNDOT in their infinite wisdom, decided to salt the roadways again on Thursday morning when it was 35 degrees. Oh well. Just need another good rain.

Interior refresh question...
(Preview)
Time to update some of my interior on the 69. Carpeting and insulation are first. I was looking at Ground Up and they offer a "Flat Line" insulation. The name is new to me, anyone use this product? They offer two carpet selections, with and without a "Mass" backing. They say the backing replaces the nor...

Friday afternoon, Jenny sent an e-mail to Chris P. and me. The only thing in the body of the message was a link to an ad with the attached pictures. Some of you know Jenny is a fan of 442s, candy apple red, automatic transmissions, and 455s. Kathy Mattea’s “455 Rocket” is kind of her anthem. I wasn’t hom...

LED shop lights.

When I put the ceiling in the shop this summer, I replaced the cfl bulbs with LED and thought it was a LOT brighter in there. Working on the Camaro the past 6 weeks, I realize it is still FAR short of what I would like. I bought 2 4ft and 3 8 ft LED strip lights on sale at Menard's a couple weeks ago and just got the...

So, after I went through the journey with the '71 roller in Iowa last weekend, I asked Chris S. which dealer Jenny's 442 came from and when I looked at their on-line i...
