What Have You Done to Your FORD Today

I put the radio from the truck into the Explorer. That was an excuse to go to Lowes for wire caps. I also got some stuff for a new project.

Ahem... buy me a heat gun.

Besides, I can use the wire stripper to crimp too, so I don't have to switch tools.

Adjusted the carb and topped off fluids on the Bronco before she takes her first highway trip since the fateful beach trip.

Austin, learn to solder. It's not that hard, and it allows you to keep a strong connection, and not have to pull your radio thirty times as you would with your caps which can and will work loose.

I might could do it eventually, but the wires are twisted and crimped - get's the job done for now, I guess!
