“Let us strangle the last king with the guts of the last priest.”

Shelby Update

Today I registered ($65) and insured ($30/mo.) the Dakota, and purchased a new battery ($90 plus core). I just got regular license plates. I’m not going to spend anymore on this thing than I have to until I know it’s going to fly. Next week: the tranny shop.

Update: It runs. It’s ready to go. Woo hoo! I fiddled around inside and it appears everything works except the A/C, and hopefully that’s just a freon charge away.

Update 2: It’s going to Helena Transmission Monday morning. Hopefully that won’t cost a fortune. (Hopes dashed: should cost around $1600, almost as much as I paid for the truck: $1800)

Update 3: Pictures!
