well still trying to stay active on here and keep relearning what i forgot. Also still inching towards getting into the garage i'm hoping friday went to PA over the weekend to buy trains( one of my other hobbies) and finish cleaning out my garage up there got wheels and tires that hold air for the front so it will roll if my gravel driveway is somewhat more solid by friday i'll push it in with my truck it's uphill garage is ready but still have most of my tools stored at my buds house in PA heading back up there next week to get them then get busy.

What Scale do you model? I model HO scale and I have been planning a freelance Norfolk Southern branch line set in modern times. Most of my power is small engines like GP 35s but I have a few of the big boys like SD-90/45 and Dash 8 and 9s. My favorite thing to do when I belonged to the Modular club in VA beach was to set up my 2 SD-80's and a SD-90/45 with about 50 coal hoppers and run a really nice long unit train. I love long trains like that. Ok enough of my trains, this is Camaro forums not train forums.

Thanks Dave!
I picked up a new Sony CD player and speakers for the Burb. Need some sound to listen to in the toy hauler. Made patterns from butcher paper for the rear storage area to build speaker enclosures for the sides. Then traced the patterns on panel material, and painted it blue to match the interior. Tomorrow I'll make up the speaker leads and cut out for the 4 speakers, then mount the speakers and panels, and wire in the stereo.

Decided the blue was too much for my panels. Went and got black naugahyde and covered them, then installed the stereo system. Tunes finally!
For convienence I built the left side from two panels. R. side has spare tire, so one panel was fine:

I stopped by the bodyshop friday and removed the hurst shifter to bring it home and freshen it up. I'm going to replace all the bushings with the metal ones from Hurst. It's an OEM shifter so it has the bayonette style mount for the stick which must be worn out because there is alot of slop in it. Thinking I will drill the mount for bolts instead. It doesn't have shift stops either so I think I'll add those while I'm at it. Any tips for cleaning and lubricating the shifter mech.
