Well Crustine was hard at work yesterday. Loaded up a bunch of branches and moved some wood with her in the morning.

Then after getting my ears lowered I hitched up the trailer and loaded up my 47 Case tractor and took them to the shop where we installed new marker lights and got the tail lights on the trailer working correctly. Also installed a trailer harness on Crustine so now I can legally tow a trailer!!! :thumbsup:
I did find a severely cracked up front brake hose SO I'm gonna ordering new ones. lol

You know those chrome painted valve covers may eventually tarnish from the heat!:lolsmack2:

Well my magnum manifold is on its way! Super excited to cut that thing open and get some air flow through that motor. Probably gonna grab some jet down kits for my edelbrock.
