I went to the shop today and stripped the paint off the hood I bought for the pinto and metal worked a couple little dents. It's ready for primer and body work. Going to try and have it on the car this year instead of the black primer hood.

with as many times as you have painted that hood, could you get a color matched vinyl wrap ?

[pintoboy77]

You would think so buddy but I'm putting a different hood on this time. I spent the day getting the yard in shape so I won't have so much to keep up with. Up till now I've just been keeping the grass mowed but now my spring cleaning is done.

Got the hood finished stripped and shot back in epoxy primer and three coats of sand and fill. We start working it tomorrow. Looking pretty good so far won't need much filler of any.

Still have to block it buddy i got busy over the weekend working on the kitchen. I got the water and drain lines to the sink ran so I could hook up Mendy's dish washer hooked it up so she can stop washing dishes in the bathroom sink. Installed the last corner cabinet we had still waiting on one cabinet to come in so we can do our counter tops. I want to take her china cabinet back apart not happy with some of the fitment on it everybody else is happy with it but not me. We had a real bad storm last night so I didn't stay and work on it last night Brutus doesn't like thunderstorms so we both went home and chilled.

Suspicion confirmed. I looked at the settings on my FI tech and with the pedal to the floor it says TPS open 65%. where's the fun?

Adjusted the bracket and got it to 80+%. Throttle and kickdown both need adjusting. Alternator belt is too long I think the pulley is slipping. Only reading @13 volts.
