Message: [QUOTE="1killerz, post: 1520265, member: 24585"] [b]update[/b] I haven't died, nor did the project. Nope, instead I have done numerous things to speed along the conversion process, as well as numerous things that are delaying the conversion process (a dual edged sword if you will). [B]Didn't help the conversion process #1 (but it did help clear my head)-->[/B]So, I bought a boat. first time boater. And living in Michigan, we get about 4 months maximum of decent boating weather. So I had some learning to do. And let me tell you what. Lesson #1--> sunscreen [B]Didn't help the conversion process #2 (but it helped initiate my 10 year into who was Smokey and the Bandit)-->[/B] I also bought a 76 firebird formula. Sorted out all it needs just in time to not to be able to sell cause cruising season is over. Live and learn. [B]Didn't help the conversion process #3 (but it may, as it is still a 7.3PS)-->[/B] The family of the kid I bought Lucipher off of (my 1996 CCLB) came to buy it back, so I bought a 2001 Excursion Limited 7.3 and tweaked that some to my liking [B][I]Helped the conversion process #1, because this is a MOFO package deal!!! -->[/I][/B] finished up the m101 (my tow behind support trailer). Added a roof top tent, matching military tires to Eleanor, and some weatherproof long gun storage. [B][I]Helped the conversion process #2, because I will loose my MF'ing mind if I stare at wiring for too long (fyi, I still can't eat spaghetti without triggering some sort of PTSD)-->[/I][/B]I did have the SORD cross-over steering kit put on. Mounted nicely, I have no idea of usability cause I still don't have her running yet. [B][I]Helped the conversion process #3, because in case you don't know by now, I am not an electrician, let alone a mechanic-->[/I][/B]Finally bought the electrical and vacuum shop manual. Found one that wasn't being asked for it's weight in gold, so that worked out pretty nice. [B][I]Helped the conversion process #4, because I'm tired of tripping over miles of wire that resemble spaghetti (ahhhh!!!!)-->[/I][/B]Cleared out all the remnants of this past summer's projects and small joys from my garage, so that I can start mapping and installing the semi-custom (custom, as in I touched it and modified it. lol) wiring harness. Warning and full disclosure: I am armed with a multi-meter, a book written by engineers, a dream, and plenty of beer. Pictures to come of all the aforementioned shenanigans and the weekly updates associated with fall/winter/not boating weather... [/QUOTE]
