Torx the leopard. Sometimes fuzzy. Auto mechanic. Collector of random cars. If you like car stuff, I post mostly that. I need more weird car people to follow. Endless projects™️ | Torx Garage on YT

Currently at the “waiting for repair estimates and the seller’s response to fixing them” stage of buying the house. All three sellers are out of state now apparently so we’ll see what they want to do. I’ll take whatever I can get.

Trying to make it look factory. Decided to see how the shroud would fit since it holds both the washer fluid system and coolant reservoir (annoyingly). I will have to figure out a different intake tube and make some other modifications. Unsure how much that fan moves. May need an HD radiator.

So… was talking to my coworker who just finished high school. He was telling me his friend is about to join the Navy so I was just being funny and asked “is he gonna be a nuclear tech?” He goes “No, it would attract too many furries” 💀

Ouch. Was going through the canes drive through yesterday and the kid said he was asking a trivia question to everyone. He goes “What major event happened in 1939?” Me, expecting it to be something more specific, said “WWII started?” Yes, and of 20 people only 2 got it right. Old and young. 🤦‍♂️

Progress update on the Durango. It is now The first 6.4L first gen Durango. Bolted in, got more to do. Test fitting some things. Surprised the stock harness matches up as much as it does. Also used an old cold air intake from the Mustang that seems to be a perfect fit. A shame you can’t see more.

Got the accessories out together mostly. Waiting on some hardware. But nice to see it does all seem to line up. And I had a great idea to use the upper hose from a WK2 grand cherokee. Fits the engine and the Durango’s radiator
