Also, have received the over-sized hinge bushings from total automotive. I guess now the next step is to drill out the holes and replace them

Happy trails
If you actually need the over sized bushings, you should not need to drill out the holes. There is a thread somewhere on here that goes into detail on how to install them.

I got an estimate to add padding ( lumbar support ) to the drivers seat for $185 last week. I decided to do it myself and added a seat heater for less $$. I used these items http://www.rostra.com/pdf/Rostra-Sea...talog-2014.pdf and repaired the broken support rods in seat too ! ( the source of my problem ) I removed the seat and took it indoors in the A/C to work on it. Very easy to do,no hog nose pliers required ! I'll wire it up when the temp comes down some.100+or- here !! P.S. The 5 position switch actually has 10 settings which beats the heck out of high or low !191,100

@ 215,000 miles I figured the Silver Mullet needed better front brakes. So, Rockauto delivered 'Power Stop' slotted rotors, HD brake pads and RH & LH AC Delco calipers. I installed everything yesterday and disconnected the flaky ABS. When I push on the brake pedal, I expect my machine to submit to my will, dammit!!

New windshield and wiper blades. There's an honest little glass shop in Pontiac called City Glass that I go to whenever a cop tells me to get a windshield. Cops ask, "How long has your windshield been broken"? I say, "years and years, see how the crack keeps changing direction". Age and wisdom has caught up with me and $165 is better than wondering if every cop I see is bored enough to hassle me. Caught a funky glue buzz from the fumes on my way home. Living the dream boys!

Ordered front and rear pads for the TB. The fronts are starting to squeak a bit and I do not know when the rears were last done so I figured I would do both. (nice to have disc in the rear instead of drum brakes)

I ordered it all from rockauto. Local stores were trying to charge 35 for just the fronts for the same brand. Got the front and rears with hardware shipped 1-2 days for 41$
