It was time to get serious about the Christmas presents today!
We wrapped all the presents we have so far, then went to town for my exchange gift and the brushes for the vacuum. Our first stop was the vacuum cleaner shop, no brushes, but they did have a new motor for $29. Sounded good to me, I did not have to get the lathe out and turn the armature or fit the new brushes, just mount the pulley, put in two screws and hook up the wires. That will probably save me a couple of hours. Then it was off to 3 Rivers Mall for my shopping, we found that in about 5 minutes. We were not so lucky with the second gift we were looking for until one sale clerk gave us a hint as to where to look. Once we got there, they had a pretty good selection, so it was just another 5 minute stop and we were done. We came home and wrapped the newest presents and then I did the vacuum job. Here it is all ready for the last cover.
UPS showed up with some secret Christmas stuff I couldn't show Vera, I will probably have to wrap it while she is at bible study tomorrow. I worked on the Mustang this afternoon. I got the new firewall made and installed temporarily. Then I got the motor out, fitted it's mount and prop driver. Now I need to do some measuring so I can mount the motor in the right spot. No football tonight, so I may get back out to the shop and get that done later.
