So my old F-150 is nailed in the side, then my son's Acura is in a wreck, now my wife's 5.0 has a slipping AOD transmission. The F-150 is headed for a frame shop, the Acura is IN the frame shop, and the Mustake will have to wait. We're doing the sheetmetal work on the 2 wrecks, (want to guess how many spot welds hold the core support on an Acura?), but I hate automatics, and won't work on them. I have 2 project cars I've been drooling to work on, but the everyday drivers take priority. Maybe I should lease a Toyota Echo. I did buy another F-150 to take the place of the broken F-150, but we're running out of cars! Did I mention that I loaned my riding mower to a buddy who blew it up?

I'll go have some coffee.

The Mustake is okay. The trans shop I deal with, (Crowder&Draper in Hopewell, VA.), found that the problem was a grommet on the throttle/detent cable that broke. The cost? Free. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I slipped Bob Draper a 20.00 as he and I grew up next door to each other. The other crap was self inflicted. Hey Pat, no the Vega doesn't run at the moment. I put the engine from MY Vega in Pat's Vega before IT was totaled last year. His is still in the yard, and still running. My Vega is one of the projects I WANT to start on. Sgarnett, I pray your wifes health problems are minor. A car isn't even close in that equation. The Acura should be in our hands tomorrow. The truck is a great trash can, and will go to the frame shop whenever. The F-150 I bought is an '84 351-4bbl C-6, 4wd. A little rough on gas, but a lot more truck than my '86 4.9 3spd. Thanks guys, I needed a little "venting". (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
