Good news: Using a cheater bar & wheel chocks I freed the last stuck nut on the driver's front. Bad news: The passenger front stripped out totally. Good news: New otterstat works great. Fans kick on. Bad news: Still hotter'n hell without the heatshield. (Dave T: Where did you get the "thermal wrap" for the starter?) Good news: Fixed the shift linkage. Have reverse. Bad news: Still finding more vacuum leaks. :) Good news: Took her for the first drive OUTSIDE of the parking lot. On the street! Boy did people stare.....you'd think I was driving an M1A1 Abrams or something. Rich #5335
