It includes about half of the cab phase of the detailing cycle, a distributor and starter replacement and the beginnings of my creep towards a clutch replacement.

Thanks for the write up on the head liner installation. That is one of the next steps on my punchlist. The dashboard is looking great. I will check out the Paintscratch.com for some touch up paint for my 54.
I have some extra defroster vent or two if you need them.
Great information and Billy Bob is looking pretty slick.

Larry,
Thanks for the update. I looked back a few episodes and read about the Motive Systems Power Bleeder with great interest. This system is needed to properly bleed my COE's hydrovac and wheel cylinders. After it arrived, I sat and stared at it a few days before getting up the motivation/determination to try it out (I also had to overcome my fear-of-the unknown). As you describe, it is easy to use and does the job better than a vacuum set-up.
Keep posting your updates. I hope to see you sometime this summer (Kansas?? Macungie??).

Like your COE, I couldn't have bled the clutch in my renegade any other way, the guys on the jeep forums said. And, bleeding the brakes on BillyBob isn't the dreaded chore it once was. Another test will come when I finally get around to replacing the rusted out lines in my concorde.
BillyBob and I will be in Kansas but I won't be able to make Macungie this year.

One thing that made it easier for me is that I decided not to install the interior visors. Trying to locate where they go can be a real trial.
