The payback is going to be intense. I may just fall down my steps again once I’m healed.

Drove it a bit over the last few days. Got it OBD-ready and today I got my state inspection done.
Ended up taking a few pics, even wet as it was since it showered a bit this morning and it was dirty already anyway

I cleaned and polished the BACK SIDE of my summer wheels; took off the winter wheels and put on the summer ones; then drove to a local 3D archery shoot for some quality "social distancing" time in the woods

Hell yeahhhhhhhh!!!
I plan on doing some social distancing myself this weekend with my car.
I went back to work today @Mustang Freak . Just for one day. They're only working 3 days a week because of the Chinese virus anyways, but it seems to be picking up. I might be doing another day next week as well. Told them to let me know and I'll be there.

Jumpin' in to say:

I drove her. Since Monday. Today, Wednesday, is day 3. After 6 months being on jack stands. Go look for the Chain Chain Chain thread if you want more details that you'd ever want about that situation.

Wonderful. Just to be back in her is great, but the way she's set up as well? Even with bad alignment (soon to be fixed)? Oh yeah. I heart my car. I heart it a ton.

Warts. And. All.

This is fantastic news there HouTex! Boy was a lot of fun to follow,Iget a kick out of your interpretation of things. Not so fun for you though. Glad you got her back on the road.

Nah, it was fun enough. Sure, there was some weirdness of timing (HA!) that abounded, and THAT was nofun(tm). But I learned quite a bit. And the fact that exceptin' that one bolt, *ALL* the fasteners went back in where they should? And no runs, drips, or errors so far?

Dang right. Tough times, but overall, it was fun. Because I saved her from the junk yard. That's the truth.

And because that was the end result... well, I'll let Droopy take over:

Yesterday - Took the wife's Shelby for its first drive of the year, right over to a friend's house, for the clutch swap.
And yeah, it was due (overdue).
The old flywheel was hot-spotted like crazy, I even got some slip on the way to his house.
Going back today to finish it up, we had to stop early yesterday, he had a few other things to get done.
So far we got the old stuff out, the new McLeod braided clutch line in, new Ford pilot bearing, new Ford slave cylinder/throwout bearing, and the new McLeod flywheel installed.
Today the fun of getting the huge TR6060 back in its place.

The noisy throwout bearing:






Old hot-spotted flywheel:




New McLeod flywheel installed:





Old slave/cylinder/throwout bearing, before any cleaning:
