Today I replaced the shifter inner cables on my 67 GT. It just kind of made me think back to the first time I did a set. How to remove the headlight, how to remove the speedo and not loses the knurled knob, down the fork (small zip tie) which one goes where, what are top hats, how to I get the pointer set right etc.
Sometimes I kinda miss the days of not knowing much but today was fun to just go "I should change those out...no big deal" I've learned a lot thanks to the forum, books, you tube and especially you guys and gals! Time to go blow up a kitted motor! |

Haha, have fun blowing up that motor.
![]() I completely relate to your sentiments re fixing stuff gets easier as you pick up the knowledge you need and the best place to find it is right here. Just search or ask this crew. ![]() Today I welded up a nasty spot on the edge of the leggy on a trashed smallie I'm trying to save, got the banged up mudguard 95% done and watched my pal Panos take his first ride on his 2nd smallie project. ![]() ![]() Needs another pass but I ran out of small welding rod ![]() Looks good but only cuz the paint's still wet ![]() Yay, Panos!
