'Heart of Gold’ put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore, so I headed for the ditch.” – Neil Young, comments written for the liner notes of his 1977 compilation, Decade.

I’ve been looking for parts and pieces for this car for quite some time. I finally found the last bit which was the right rear quarter panel and that was tough to find here in Michigan. I had to travel to a place near Joliet, IL one weekend to grab the piece. Same color car! I would have loved to find a NOS part but that was not in the cards.
I also found a front nose piece in Ohio. Another weekend day used to get that.. Finding a nice part WITH the light bar again, took some time to get sorted and sourced. The light bar seems to be removed from most nose pieces
The next bit of work will be separating the body panel from frame bits but first cutting off the frame parts and the separating the panel from the remnants. That should be interesting since I’ll be doing from ‘inside’ the body panel.
Lastly, I also dug around and found the frame measurements for a 1985 Mustang Convertible. If you need the information I have a picture below and if you want the book it come from look for the 1985 Car Shop manual, Volume B2, page 47-04-19.
The second image appears to be the front end measures around the engine bay for a 1990 Mustang Hatch. I’ll keep looking for 1 985 Convertible values.
This is a list of books on Amazon where I’ve been stacking up things for years. Going to start reducing my spend with Amazon and because of that I’m going to give ‘Libby’ the library app a shot, see how it works out and see if I can knock a few of these off the list.
Good grief, was Pete Buttigieg holding the entire airline industry together himself? This is what happens when you staff the government with unqualified cronies—we’re less safe under Trump.

Just finished Tiamat’s Wrath by James S. A. Corey.
On to Leviathan Falls and the end of the series.
Here’s the list of books that I have read as part of my goal to read 52 books in a year.
From Apple’s web site:
“You must decide to speak for yourself; nobody else can speak for you.”
My goal is to read 52 books this year. I have a nice head start because of my vacation (see list here). Some of these are fast reads others…not so much. Regardless I have a goal!
A nice list from Ryan Holiday (the list is from the newsletter but posted here). Sign up of the newsletter here.
A few of these I have read, a few of these are not my ‘style’ but.. that’s the point. Get out of your comfort zone.
Here is the list + my additions:
Naturally, I’ll read other books but this is a good starting point.
We lost our cat Alice earlier in 2024. I decided, for a variety of reasons, we needed another cat in the house.
Here is Koi. We adopted her on September 4th, 2024. She’s a lot of fun. As my wife like to say about here ‘Day time is play time!’.
