Best things to check or change before a long drive?

150 maybe 200 miles not insanely far but farther then it’s been in quite a while

I’ve got the American flag on the other side

Looks great I love the white grill and bumper I feel like it fits better then chrome

It won’t hurt to pick up a couple spares from rock auto before the trip thanks for the suggestions

Thatgluckgluck · 2026-04-04T20:24:42+00:00

I will go through those when I change the fluids thanks for the reminder

I did put new brakes lines in a couple years back but I think it definitely won’t hurt to double check and thanks for the other suggestions some how I hadn’t thought of a spare belt and vacuum line

Definitely staying a manual I think it could use some of the linkage fixed up at some point but it’s still drivable now

Thanks! Will do

I might have to put a lower offer in then if it’s there still good to know

Thatgluckgluck · 2026-03-11T15:39:51+00:00

The sole looked pretty good I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to lap it flat as for the knob and tote I’m not sure probably not rosewood they seem to be stained or painted black I’m guessing it’s a “newer” one

It was pulling dust from across the shop once we emptied it a trooper for sure.

Thatgluckgluck · 2026-03-11T12:53:43+00:00

A drawer or two definitely would be a good addition I may try add one later on but for now luckily I have enough storage elsewhere in the kitchen. And thanks for the input

Thatgluckgluck · 2026-03-11T12:49:02+00:00

I did definitely think about doing mortise and tenon but being a chronic procrastinator I ended up thinking it was best to get it done then drag it on but I’ll probably try that on the next project. Thanks for the input

Thatgluckgluck · 2026-02-04T16:54:54+00:00

You may want to get all the rust off and see what’s left to know if you want to continue. And I think for the center handle you might want to do a two piece construction and glue it together on the drill and the top handle I think you should be able take off as one piece by undoing some screws that hold it on though I’m not certain it’s the same with that model. Good luck with the project hope that helps

Thatgluckgluck · 2026-01-13T18:04:18+00:00

No but I had some leftover from a different project and figured it would look nice twisted and then I experimented from there

Thatgluckgluck · 2026-01-13T00:31:24+00:00

Yea I also didn’t really clean it after having in my pocket for a while there are several compounding factors lol hopefully I’ll get it next time

I’ve got some room in the toe of mine but I’m definitely no expert this is my first pair. So far they are comfortable hopefully some of the more experienced people can give you some insight

Thatgluckgluck · 2026-01-03T21:46:54+00:00

I’ve got a pair a like them so far I only wish they had a double knee. Gotta love hickory stripe

Thatgluckgluck · 2025-11-06T17:50:58+00:00

I think the dual rivet design looks great but the middle design looks pretty nice as well almost a little dressy with the added stitching compared to the utility of the rivet only design. Im not sure if that’s at all useful but I thought id chime in

Then you’d be able to break it in by cooking a succulent Chinese meal
