Nice job Bri! Here's my list accomplishments this year: Spring: Installed eccentric upper control arm bushings and an adjustment to the power steering gearbox so she's aligned and runs down the road straight. Summer: Get the AC up and running including a new ac compressor shaft seal, unstick the heater bypass door and replace the heater temp control valve. Fall: Install a new voltage regulator and upgrade to a Pertronix electronic ignition. It was a good year with a lot of cruises and shows attended. The Charger is taking a nap while I run the gas out of my Galaxie (It's my fall cruiser). The Charger will come out to be filled with ethanol free fuel before being put away for the winter. That's a lot of accomplishments. One day Ill get the stock AC going. Never thought about getting all the ethanol out of the system. When I did the sending unit, I changed all the rubber hoses to Fuel injection lines.

You all have been busy. This winter I'm hoping to have installed a new fuel injection system and have the new Vintage Air kit installed. Currently putting up insulation and drywall in the garage with new heat so the winters are more enjoyable working on the car.

Ah, ethanol free fuel. Ran a google search for ethanol free gas near me, went to station only to see ethanol label on pump. Very hard if not impossible to find in the Northeast

It does help to have a warm place to work during the winter. The garage is sheet rocked and a new garage door is making a difference. I was thinking of one of those jet like heaters to blow a shot of hot air to take the edge off before starting work. As for ethanol, I believe there are specific months that they add it.

Also know as recreational fuel and sold at Marina's if you're near the water. It'll be a first for me this year. Usually just do the Stabil thing but after not using my boat for 2 yrs I had to get it out just to burn the old gas out. Not knowing if/when it'll get used again ethanol-free went back in it. Since rebuilding the engine on the Charger my Galaxie just doesn't get driven much so it'll get the same treatment.

I wish I could work on my car during the winter. I have more time but I only have a one car garage which is filled with "other" stuff. It's drywalled and I can heat it to 70* so at least I can work on small projects. I've been wanting to replace my carpet but I know it'll snowball into having to treat the surface rust on the floor, etc. which will take up more time than I want to give up in the summer. Since these other "to do" items have been finished on the car I think I will start accumulating the materials and start planning to do it early spring.
