Lol that would certainly garner a few looks :mrgreen:

I don't know why I have a fascination with CBs, I just love the look of dual antennas off the mirrors or right behind the cab.

I know, my inner redneck is showing :rofl:

So at work today I was assigned a little Ferdinand pole smoker to put a quarter panel on and straighten the door. I spent the morning Removing a lot of the rear interior parts to see if I could pull off the convertible top as an assembly (unsuccessfully) as far as the norm goes for the shop it's really what we would consider an old POS because it's a 2000 and it really shows it's age. A little after lunch the owner showed up to go over the car with one of my bosses. That turn the job into almost a full paint job. at any rate the driver's door looked like hammered dogshit with about a million door dings. I ran around the car and picked out as much of the damage on it that I could and started buzzing it for plastic work and found something interesting on the driver's door. It looks to me like at some point in it's a life the car was lettered up perhaps for a rally car or some type of racing so I took some pictures you guys tell me what you think.

I know it's hard to see but what do you think it said or have I been sniffing body shop fumes for too many years lol if it is lettering it won't ever be seen again because it's all mudded in now

I didn't see any on the passenger side but the body work was in a different place on that side. It came in for a right quarter repair the rear bumper and straighten the crushed passenger side door.

Found a rubber vacuum hose running from the Evap purge valve to the intake manifold on my P71 was disintegrating. The replacement hose I got from a Ford dealership online was thinwall hard plastic instead of rubber like the original, hopefully it will hold up better. The car did gain some pep after the replacement so the old hose must have been leaking some vacuum. Both hoses have fancy snap on connectors, saved the ones from the old hose for spare vacuum parts.

Also mowed my field with the old Farmall, though with all the rain it was more like mudding at times.
