Well , I have been away from the site for the winter and it's time to get working on the car once again.
Some what of a delay this year , there is still 3 ft of snow up here and it's not going anywhere yet. The way it's piled up we'll have snow on the ground untill mid june or later !
But to the point of this trhead.
have a bad heater core and what it takes to replace them in a 69 mach is crazy. Both upper and lower dash come out and diconnect everything.
I took a bunch of pic's and tagged screws , nuts and bolts in bags.
I am now in the process of detailing everything I can thats normal not accessable , the vac motors , heater box , ac box , A/C vent cannisters , balls , felts etc.
New vacume hoses going in , detaling the heater / ac control switch assy. Not sure how to find parts for it.
New blower motor , mine was squeiling a bit .
Some one aparently had the heater core problem and when they put it back togeather , they duck taped cracks , and holes in the htr / ac box/s . used several mismatched bolts and nots.
So I have a lot of little things to take care of before it goes back togeather. But on the up side , everything will be detailed , freashly painted and repaired and hopefully never have to be done again in my life time. That is of course unless Jesus decides to wait on his return for another 40 yrs ! Which I hope not , I am ready to go.
Our car show / cruise season doesn't start untill the last wk end of may and I am hopeful I'll have the car back togeather by then.
By the way for everyone thats in this neck of the woods. We will be holding our first 2 day car event this fall Sept 20-21 2013 . Fri nite we will do a 2 1/2 hrs cruise around the back country roads , going through resort areas and towns with some of the most beautiful fall colors around the northern part of the state.
Then sat there will be a car show at the Munising Bay Shore park , right on Lake superior , from 10am to 2 pm , then awards will be handed out.
This will be the last car event for the U.P and it will hopefull be a great turn out.
If there is anyone interested let me know , I can give more details.
