The Merc Is Up & Running.
The day has finally arrived; the Merc will fire on its own and stay running! I had a chance to drop through the gears, and to my delight, the transmission works wonderfully. The brakes are still harsh, so I need to bleed them again. We have the wiring to finish up and, last but not least, the damn bodywork! It’s been crazy in the garage as there are so many damn projects we are working on that I sometimes don’t touch my car for a few days. With the warm weather coming around, it puts the excitement back into getting … Continue reading The Merc Is Up & Running.
Hunnert Car Pileup 2010 in Decatur, IL!
As you know, we had a lot of problems with the Hunnert Car Pileup last year. The problems were a long time coming and we’re lucky they didn’t happen sooner and no one was seriously hurt.

Its Been A While
Since the last time I checked in here, we have been swamped. We have started re-wiring the car and installed the new heater / AC setup from Southern Air. We installed a new electric windshield wiper motor from Newport Engineering. Shaved the doors and the trunk and installed new solenoids. We added new gauges and established a Captain Morgan bottle as our washer fluid bottle. One of the most significant projects was designing and building the bracket for the AC compressor. We also added the AC / Heat switches to the dash panel. Below are a few pics. Continue reading Its Been A While
