Two big problems with projects always seems to be mission creep and loss of enthusiasm. The Ernie project has seen both, which leads us to where we are now. A saner and perhaps less ambitious person would have simply swapped over the Lincoln Mark VIII engine and transmission with the appurtenant EEC and called it good…yeah, Mission Creep. So now we’re at the point where everything has to be done, and yes, I do mean everything. Wiring, plumbing, HVAC, steering, controls, you name it, the one saving grace is no bodywork since we’re not going for a total restomod. Some things will have to be sacrificed like the cruise control, power seats, and RKE. Some things will be a little more work than planned like wiring and air conditioning. The problem is just getting the enthusiasm to start. I know it’s the old “eating the elephant” problem, but my dilemma is, what end of the elephant do you even start with? I guess we’ll pick one and find out.
Now what?
