Lounge / Re: IMPORTANT! Board Future - DISCUSS HERE
My preference is for not to use AWS, but that's just me.

My webhosting is through ipage and have honestly had no issues over the years, but I don't run a forum or the like on it. I primarily use it for storage and I had my motor mount stuff on it when that was a going thing.

After 4eyedpride fell down and went boom, and the back-ups were lost or corrupted, it was a big shock/loss to the community. I for sure don't want to see this site suffer the same fate.

I imagine a bunch of the missing pics are from where hosting for the pictures moved or disappeared.

I know a lot of the pics in my older threads got broken when my original webhost shut down w/o warning.
I'd have to go back through each post and relink whatever was originally there.

Got the car dug out over the weekend, but the roads are going to be a yucky mess for a while yet.

The current state of things.



Got a foot of snow this past Sunday. Got everything else dug out, but had to put this off for a bit, as I have no place to easily put the snow.

Started working on that a bit after work today. I have to carry the snow to a couple different places to move it, so it takes a bit longer.

I want to have it uncovered so I can start it (and work on the start/warm-up routine a bit while it's cold) and work on a couple of the other small bits. The roads aren't going to be clear enough for a while now, so Natasha (as my wife refers to it (i.e. the Black Widow) is sidelined for a little while again.

I'm pretty sure that they used whatever color for the receiver side in the Tbirds, as they were originally covered by the plastics.
I've run into red or other color receivers on grey interior cars a few times.

That looks pretty good! Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

After seeing it, I thought 3D  printing might be an option.  Might have to see if I can CAD something up.

It's hard to find them with those stupid mounting posts still intact. I don't think any of the ones I have onhand are unbroken.

That's one way to do it! You going to cover it in vinyl or leather?

What's the P/N on those upper door seals? My Tbird has needed those for about 20 years.

I suppose that's a possibility. You know "Job 1" and all. Lol.

Does it have the early or late TBird emblems on the c-pillars and grille?

That's a lot of work to redo the dash in the car like that.

I need to do something similar with the dash in the LTD wagon. "Luckily" I may have to pull the dash anyway to deal with the heater core/box.

The interior is coming along nicely!
