Across the desert in the snow

[Mr. Will]

What a great trip. We rolled through The City of Rocks last year, some great scenery. Also I rember reading in one of your trips you drove over I believe Bald Mountain pass 10,715 feet. We have never been over Bald Mountain but have been over Beartooth several times 10,947. One time in August and it was snowin at the top.

It costs at least twice what the others cost but I wanted it as close to stock as possible.

Now I'll see if I can find the control cable. They're not as hard to find.

Here's the cable, also from O' Reilly's, Dorman HELP! - Remote Control Cable

Craig, thanks for this... since I got my 47 straight SIX running last fall... I removed the heater core until I can get it pressure tested and cleaned to make sure everything is good.. I put caps on the current valves.. but I like the idea to be able to close the valves remotely to avoid heat in the summer.. Still have to replace the blower motor with a 12 volt version, etc.. etc..
One question though.. after seeing all your videos.. What is the object you have attached to the top of your driver's side ash tray?

It is a traffic light viewer. It is actually attached in place of one of the window frame screws (I avoid drilling holes if I can.) Because I sit so high in the seat and the top of the windshield is so low, I usually don't have direct line of sight to the traffic control lights. I can usually see them reflected in my hood. But, if they are too close, I can see them in the prism instead of bending over and twisting my neck to see them. It is a vintage gadget quite necessary back in the day when most traffic lights were a single fixture hanging in the middle of the intersection.

Is that windshield center frame homemade? Jack E/Nj

No, it's original. But, since I installed it I've seen more installed on top of the horizontal trim rather than behind it which is probably more correct.
