My vehicle lineup has been pretty stable for the past few years. The women are driving new Jettas, and I’m like the neighborhood truck guy who keeps a radical BMW hidden in his garage.

The ’91 is about done, for the time being. I still need to put some more time in on that door to get the lock working correctly and it needs a trim moulding after painting, but that stuff can wait. I think I will prioritize work on the Chrysler going into 2019. It needs the electrics gone through to get the windows working again and a few more things sorted. The rear axle will get a 3.91 Richmond locker and new set of Caltracs. Then I’ll finish it up with frame connectors and seal the underbody. The factory paint will stay for now and no fancy interior work – it is and always will be just a driver. I did find and remove a broken sway bar link after taking it for a warm-up yesterday, so I guess that project is now officially underway…

It’s pretty amazing to me just how far cars have come in the last 50 years. An engine and 4 tires wrapped in glass, plastic and metal is the only real comparison.
