Hey everyone! ?New vid alert! ?Please head over to my link in the bio to check out the new vid! This episode I will be talking about my old steering wheel that came with my car when I first bought it as a teenager. And we'll transition over to what I am going to replace it with for my Pro touring 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7. You wont want to miss this unboxing on what's included and required if you're thinking of replacing your steering wheel with a popular hot rod upgrade over the stock steering wheels that came on our old cars and/or others.

I am making some good progress on this @newageproductsinc garage cabinet set! I should be wrapping up later tonight and I will start moving my stuff into all the cabinets. So far everything is going smoothly with lots of storage available now. This has been good to clean things up in the garage while giving me more space to slide #camilathe68cougar around as I work on her. The @soundshield shipping box came in handy to lend a hand to hold up the top cabinets as I bolt them in ?. I can’t wait to show ya’ll the end result! In other news, I’ve submitted my custom column to @ididitsteeringyesterday so I’ll be working through any tweaks in the coming days for that part of the build.

Tada! It’s all finished! And the verdict is.... I love it! Man for a long time I was living a totally unorganized garage. I mean not to the point that I didn’t have space but crap was just all over the place. For example, I ended up finding 3 bottles of @meguiars products that were identical and mostly full amongst other things that I’ve bought because I thought I didn’t have any! ??‍♂️ now there’s plenty of space to properly store stuff. Cool thing about the cabinets is that they come with 2 tool drawer chests and 2 lower cabinets that you can’t really see in the pic. In addition they come with LED lights under the top cabinets. I picked this @newageproductsinc at @costco if you’re curious ? and to celebrate I’m finishing it off with a Mexican shrimp cocktail! Cheers to Friday everyone! Tomorrow I’ll be doing a mini shoot in the driveway with #camilathe68cougarafter her #birdbath

?incoming!? today was a beautiful day in CA! #camilathe68cougar was covered in dust from the garage from sitting since she got back home. So she was due for a major “bird bath” to get her all cleaned up and shiny once again! So you might have noticed I ditched the rollers from a 2005 Mustang GT to my old 17X8 @vintagewheelworks. The funny thing is they match my paint job pretty well. These will remain on the car for a while, I’d like to upgrade to a staggered wider bigger wheel/tires in the future. How’s the Avalanche grey look?
