houston, we have liftoff

I'm really stocked right now...my Dad and I got the mechanical cable pull finally installed on teh drivers door of the Ranchero...so now with the simple pull of a lever, the drivers door pops open. I just can't tell you how bad ass that is. I mean, come on, you walk up, reach into the front wheel well, pull a hidden lever and the door POPS open, If you've never seen this in person, you probably do'nt get the big deal, if you have, you know what I mean. The best part is of course, that the whole thing is started off as just an idea I had. Sat down, thought about how to do it, looked at what needed to be done, got the one part we needed (a hood release cable from a ~90 Accord), and fabricated the rest. Feels really good when you think up of a new idea and follow it through start to end with NO premade parts, or wussy kits. I really should be used to the feeling by now, I mean, I'm really against premade aftermarket parts...I make all my own mods or adapt somethign to work...I'm begining to ramble, I'm a bit sleepy...my bad.

In other also great news, got the ball rolling on actaully making the one peice side windows working. Cut the front track down to work, made a mock cardboard window, and tested it...it seems to work. Gonna have to make a mock window out of some stiffer material so that the bottom track wo'nt keep popping out of the rear track. Today was a good day, I'm gonna go to sleep happy, I know that.
