Thinking about automotive air conditioning. Part One.

The old fashioned "hang on" swamp cooler. This one looks pretty spiffy!

To be more specific, thinking about the a/c in my vehicles.

The hottest days of Summer are here, and it is now that you'll focus on how effective your cars a/c system is working. What seemed adequate in 80 degree weather isn't cutting it at temperatures of over 100 degrees!

 "Vintage Lite." Part One.

Tastes Great, Less Filling!

A new approach, or just a return to my regular old ways? 

Back in the Good Old Days I never would have thought of buying some used up, thrashed, old car as a "project." 

 An ongoing Great Garage Massacre?

It won't be quite like this!

I'm going to be moving forward with the premise that all of my hobby cars are for sale.

If I locate an interested buyer, then I can decide whether or not I will actually sell one.  So my initial prices will be a little higher. But not so high as to scare off a prospective buyer. 

This seems to be a reasonable strategy.

 Fixing the loose driver's armrest/door pull on my F150.

You can see the gap that opens up when I pull
on the armrest/door pull.

The driver's armrest/door pull of my F150 was loose at the front. As you can see, a gap opens up when I pull on it. Something had broken or come loose inside the door panel. I didn't want to break the remaining portion of the arm rest. I had put off the job for several months. just being careful when closing the door. Finally I decided to do something about it. I checked out a couple of videos on how to remove the door panel. This job calls for some very small sockets or nut drivers. 10 mm will be the biggest size needed. 

 The Avenue of Broken Dreams.

There's a lot of heartbreak parked around this shop.

Or perhaps it should be called, the Avenue of broken down cars!

I have never seen so many Lamborghinis in one place.
