Did more of the firewall repair. Gotta go over everything I've done to make sure there's no pin holes then I'll close that up and put the brake booster support back on.

Also did this, coated it with uv resin, it's going on the tool box to match my fender emblems. The resin is unfortunately not level but it's good enough for the tool box.

No rain today, decided to troubleshoot the wipers. First try they, they come on slow, change speed or turn off they refuse to come back on. Bypassed the module, no change. Cleaned the terminals at the motor and got them to consistently come on, dead slow, any speed is better than the squeegee. I am wondering if the motor has a bad ground. Investigating where the ground is for the wiper motor?

Went and registered my YOM plate and stuck it on. Since its a permanent plate like an antique I shot a little clear on it to help preserve the stickers in the bottom corners as long as possible

It goes through one of the mounting bolts, there should be a little tab to the motor body.

Got busy today with a wash and wax. It was 60 here today. Replaced the old battery. Pulled the passenger side rear wheel and hub to back off the drum brake that was dragging. Discovered a leaky wheel cylinder, so that is on the docket for spring.

Got everything changed out & back together. Tina still tells me to put the tools up. Anything I do, I seem to bring blood somehow.

So I took the old girl in for inspection today. We have state run places you have to take your vehicle. They have long been known to hate anything not new or modified. Going every 2 years it is always a battle royal. Not today????
Did the lights horn thing and wipers and the guy says, your drivers stop light is not working, I will pass you. WTF Never in my life have I got such a break. I move on to emissions. High carbons, fail. The guy says, run it down the highway and heat it up and come back? Oh O.K., will do.
I run 15 miles down the highway and back, passing everything but the troopers, lol. Wait in line some more, pull in. He says did you run it? yes. Did you shut it off? no. He says excellent. He puts the anal probe back in the tail pipe. fail. rev it up, fail. Turn it off, repeat, fail. Supervisor comes over, what is the problem? I think here we go, I am screwed. Supervisor says, do it again and let me see you rev it up, higher, higher. Supervisor yells, I saw it go green you're good to go.
I am here to tell you that I do not believe for 1 minute that needle ever went into the green. It restored my faith in humanity for sure. Maybe it was karma for the 45 years of pain inflicted on me by those people, IDK. Anyways I got my 2 year sticker and hauled a$$ inside to pay.
Eric

Maybe I am finally getting cool old guy treatment?
