Whoa, that's some obsessive nut cleaning!Got to work on my replacement Gorilla nuts. Cleaned the oily residue from them with some All purpose citrus cleaner. This made them go quite dull but thankfully the clear coat once applied, brought the shine back. Hopefully these will not rust like the last set. Need to give them a second coat tomorrow. Made up a little jig as well to hold the nuts so they could be sprayed evenly and left to dry.
My dad then went on to make a shelf for the lockup as we've got too many bottles stashed in various drawers and kit bags. I think he's done a decent DIY job.
The ladies do love clean nuts!
(yes I know that's the joke)
I don’t like black cars my friend, but that car looks fucking killer. Thank you.Added some aluminum rear window louvers.
Can you share measurement and details of the cribbing boxes? Like the idea.Built some cribbing boxes to get better clearance (and to feel a bit safer under the car) and changed the transmission fluid with Syncro Shift II & changed the differential fluid with Ultra Guard LS.
Ordered the Syncro & UG from OPmustang.com. Extremely impressed with them. Their kit was very well packed, came with everything needed and very well written directions. Top notch and highly recommend.

Honestly, feel you there.Not to but for.
I recycled oil from previous oil changes, including for numerous other vehicles, past and present.
18 gallons of synthetic oil. Oldest was Mobile 1, some Quaker State, and PUP for as long as I can actually recall.
Thought I could disguise lazy as clever by putting off recycling until I had a truck bed full. Then blew that cover by not recycling my stash before selling my last pickup.
Still rationalized that I was saving the planet by skipping dozens of trips to recycle.
Turns out every recycler here has a 5 gallon/day limit and I only had access to a borrowed pickup for one day.
So, got rid of four 5qt jugs at O'Reilly's. Then drove to Pep Boys to find they didn't update their website two years ago when they stopped doing this. Then hit the jackpot on my way to a NAPA when I spotted a brand new Advance Auto that had the same 5 gal/day policy but took all 13 gallons I still had, plus an old car battery I found hidden behind my jugs of used oil.
Now to figure out a new laziness project.....
Oh, also took advantage of my loaner truck to pick up a US General top chest to go with my matching Roller Cabinet with a 25% off coupon. Now have to figure a way to get the 100+ lb chest onto the Roller.
Fortunately, here it's not hard to recycle coolant but I do have brake fluid I don't know how to recycle.
but not Ford's swollen variety. Gorilla for the win.
I found this thread and got the idea from there:
