It'll be great to see you and catch up!
'fo sho'! :)

Tried to recharge the A/C on the T-bird today (Driver side window clips fell out and passenger side window just doesn't work). Seems like I'm not getting enough fan flow even though I have a MN-12 fan with a DCC FK-35 (older PWM controller) and a SN-95 Cobra condenser. When I turn on the A/C, it should go to "100%" with the jumper configuration I have. Only goes to ~9.1V when Vbatt is 12+ volts. It's probably exacerbated because I swapped the stock HR980 for an FS6 instead of an 6P148A (IIRC, the FS6 has 15% more displacement than the 6P148A [Which  is the stock compressor for 3.8s w/o HR980s]). Condenser overheats at idle unless I spritz it with water. Considering great stuff to seal up the condenser-to-radiator gaps. :mullet:

The car also started to stall out at idle. :punchballs: Tested the TPS, has open spots near the idle. Only O'Reilly carries the TPS in stock. Are our cars that old?!

Do junkyards even have our cars anymore? I've been really out of the loop for the last few years!

Also need to swap out the master cylinder and do a 3-2 conversion to get rid of the mushy brakes after my 5-lug conversion.

Nothing like deadlines to make for progress!

Doesn't look like the project car will make it to the show. I'll be rolling in the Marauder this year instead. :)

TPS in, '93 Cobra M/C in. 3-2 Conversion in. Stops reasonably well. Still needs some A/C work. Both windows are nonfunctional. A/C is mandatory!

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend! Special thanks to Greg for hosting again this year, and thanks to anyone who shares their pics as I was too lazy to get out my camera.

See you all again soon!
