Too Cool!

That's the "cool" push button start with

 the new ignition switch.

        This weekend I was able to repair the ignition switch in our truck.  The factory installed (30 year old) pigtail which would have plugged into the new switch was missing a jumper, which meant I had two choices.  Order a new pigtail and hope I could figure out how to wire it in,or buy a $5.00 switch and mount it on the dash.  Because vehicular electrical issues scare me, I went with the second choice.  I was able to install the new key operated switch, but I added a pushbutton start mechanism.  It will  require a key to activate the "on" mode, but we'll have to push the button to kick in the starter.  It works great and it doesn't look too bad either.  Now our 1984 step van has pushbutton start; a high priced option on new cars. . . . .  Baby Fat is too cool!

New wiper blades.

        I also modified the wiper arms, and installed new wiper blades.  It's not like it rains that much here, but for aesthetic reasons, combined with the one or two times a year when it might rain, it seemed to make good sense.
        Upcoming projects call for new wheel covers, cooling system flush, air conditioner maintenance, and ...... the list goes on. 
        Busy weekend and full of accomplishment; cant really ask for more than that.
