Made araingements to have a friend over Monday (hopefully) to help me get the seat out.

I took a pic of a rusted panel and responded with a forum member about shipping some parts he has for sale.

As for me, I decided to change out RAT's plates. She'll always be RAT to me. But, since she's in the paint jail waiting for silver, I decided to gowith this plate.
I ordered it. It'll look pretty close to this.

Of course, it's a play on The Lone Ranger deal.

magwakeenercew2jh · 07-13-2013, 12:17 AM

Here's the plate. And RAT..... with a paint job *close* to this:

Can't get a lower case "g" in CA.

I have that same control setup for mine and was thinking about doing something similar. What did you use to mount that in? I was thinking about a radio delete panel but that looks fantastic.

I committed some more sacrilege and used a crown vic wire harness as a donor to make a new engine harness. not exactly a MisterB underhood cleanup but atleast it doesn't cut out when I hit a bump and I can finally get to those last two plugs :-)

does anybody out there know what the fuseable link running to the battery is suppose to be for? I looked at the wiring diagram can't tell what it's actually for, mine's always been disconnected. thanks
