The Co-op: 2019 begins……….

We’re sacrificing our Friday off being only a 3 day week…..all this holiday Crap over, maybe now our focus can get back on important stuff.  Ok yes, I know that time away is supposed to be theripudic but still it’s a thing getting back in the saddle.

Yesterdays sunset from the Casements at Ormond by the Sea was worth the pain of cranking up the shop this morningbit now it’s rock-n-roll again.

Very little left and the “Tail Gator” will be on the road.  Installing the new FiTech fuel injection we found the intake manifold needs its exhaust crossovers plated over.  The intake has been at the machine shop getting cleaned and magnafluxed.  I should have it today……stay tuned.There’s an extraction tool we have coming is to replace the broken part in Baby Blues steering columnand the new really custom Mac dash should be in today to make the transformation complete so stay tuned.

It’s a new year, do a visual inspection on your coach motor.  Back in the day, the first maintenance step is to use your senses…..tug on hoses, check hose clamps, tighten bolts…..pull your distributed cap and see how things look in there.  You may have high voltage arcing going on from contact damage you may not be aware of.  Dip all of your fluids….start off the year knowing your condition on key components.  We used to to it all the time…….not so much with today’s cars but being of the 70’s you cannot forget to check things over.  Its important to do preventive maintenance because things will fail.

So yea, I hear country music playing in the big house which means the guys are working.  Me too, I need to shake off the time off and get on it.  We’ll see ya tomorrow……
