thrashingcows Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 ..But I'm back now. Didn't bring home the Desoto last year due to me converting my 1984 2wd cummins/5 spd D350 crewcab to a 4wd. Big job that I started in Oct 2013 and finished end of April 2014. Also during that time my father had been sick, and was finally diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and was given 6 weeks....he passed on Mother day this year. So toady I just got finsihed doing my old car shuffle. Moved my 68 Chrysler wagon into storage, and brought home Ol' Fernando. Wagon off to storage...And bring home Ol' Fernando... Quote
thrashingcows Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Posted November 6, 2014 Plan is to get the Desoto re-wired front to back. And maybe get the new glass, front, rear and sides, all installed. We will see... So I will be on the board a bit more now that I have Fernando home. Quote
