but I was thinking there might be a way to appeal to your other senses so that you can rock it with the rest of us.

Got the front end on it and took it for a drive. The hoses are cool to the touch but the temp gauge says a little over 210, and the thermostat housing is warm. Any ideas?

Maybe the T-stat itself not opening correctly? Just a guess with it being cool on the one side.

Highly technical task 
... I made a coffee cup holder.
Here it is unpainted so you can better see what it is. Basically 14g metal that I bent and cut to fit on to the right side of the console next to the brake handle. I later painted it black satin.
This is the back side. It's held firmly in place by Velcro and is removable. The cup holders (which are actually ash trays) are screwed in to a piece of 0.25" x 1.5" oak.
