I'm still waiting to find time to pull the steering wheel (got a free temp from my mechanic...) and send it to the resto shop.

Between the upcoming termite tenting and the preparations for that plus my new smoker, the beer brewing and the need to finish all the computer crap I have half done (I'm a nerd Martha Stewart) I haven't been able to get to the Road Runner. And the rainy season is almost over!

I drive it as often as possible during the summer, but that's not nearly as much as I would like due to the tropical squalls that are constantly rolling through south Florida this time of year.

I was thinking that maybe doing the Ehrenberg (did I spell that right?) front disc conversion might be a good idea. HAs anyone done it? Is it fully reversible if I want to go back to 100% correct?

I have tried to stay 100% correct on mine but, lately I am getting afraid to drive on the freeways because everyone can stop faster than me and the traffic has seemed to quadruple over the last couple years here in metro Minnesota. Maybe everybody is out driving around looking for work or, "hope and change". :crazy:

I thought, among other things, he had a 69 Runner? I have done the Mopar Action conversion a few times with excellent results.

Erehnberg is a very nice guy. I don't know how he finds the time to personally respond to emails the way he does! I sent him a question about installing a/c a while back and he not only answered the question, he put a pic of my car in Mopar Action and told me he wanted to do a feature! Weeeee!

He makes annual trips to Key West and I told him I would be happy to show him around miami beach if he ever stopped over on his way down, but alas that has not happened yet. If someone knows him, tell him I have beer... very very cold beer!
