My AF Gauge is 2 - 1/16 and the closest hole saw I have is 2"............

Bent up a 3"x6" piece of Alum Scrap, cut the hole and spent the last 30 mins ( on and off ) with a dremel drum sander bit in my little drill press making the hole large enough for the gauge to fit. Round and round and round she goes. LOL

Once I have the AF guage installed I will decide if I want a 2 gauge pod for the A Pillar so I can mount my Trans temp gauge or not. This darn thing is so bright I think it may bother me at night if it's on the A pillar staring me in the face all the time though.

you seem to have to do quite a bit of wrenching this year in order to get some seat time.....

you right, I didn't not expect the clutch to screw up to give me any problems but the car was only off the road for 2 days and it took a relaxed 5 hours to do the job with the car on stands......on the plus side it gave me a chance to test out the new to me jeep.


I took my GP out for a cruise last nite with my daughter and her boyfriend to head to dinner at Camp 31 in Paris Ontario. Met up with one of sons, his wife and their 2 kids at the restaurant. Great rib dinner out out on the patio and the others at the table were surprised how many people were interested in my GP while they ignored my son's Infinity Q50S was parked beside it . I had one guy in a Charger last nite that try get me to race him but I don't let people push my buttons. My daughter's boyfriend asked why someone with a brand new car would be so intimidated by my GP that they had to try to prove their car was faster...:)

drove my GP home from camping, great weather and perfect neighbors cause they like music. People get curious when I'm 15 to 20 feet away and am changing channels with my remote. I have an IF repeater that I aim at the picnic table and my apline remote does the rest. I have a switch to turn the radio on if I don't want to use the key so at the end of the evening I turn the radio off with the remote and lock the car with my car remote which is wired to a relay to put the windows up. I know the laws about drinking on a camping lot but I don't want to take a chance after a nite consuming a few beer to have the keys in the ignition that I have to use to turn the radio off and put the windows up. Here's a picture of the car that sorta shows the distance the remote does it's job. :)

Hey, RegalBegle, that Buick doesn't look handicapped to me. With a 455 you have spot the guy in the other lane a few tenths just to make it a challenge....
