The short story is I copied what I had seen. I corresponded with a couple of people, found out what they used for filters and went about incorporating them. I used hard piping where I have seen some use flexible ducting because I didn't want to think about possibly collapsing the plumbing...

Please excuse the forwardness but I'd be interested in 3+/- if there is a way to intrude on the the deal. Also happy to cover shipping... Would be happy to wait for them to get to AllenF first as well.

I did and they do OK but could be better. The pass side seems more stable than the driver despite doing the same thing on each side. I will probably take another run at it shortly, but the proof of concept (placement, field of view, etc...) was worth the effort. I do like them, just need to...

Glamour Shots day: Still some touch ups to do and axles, undercarriage, etc... to paint, but very happy with it so far.

Too late... Got the switch wired up, got the mirrors hooked up/working correctly, and now... The other one is also on as well, just after this pic was taken. They do shake a bit so I'd have to say they're not "done" yet, but they are on and functional and MILES better than the OEM ones...

Only one choice for a Mk 1- a small block 302 Ford.

Nope. It's a family livery... When I built the GT, the biggest decision was what color to paint it. Ever since then everything else seems to gets painted (close to) the same way: (I won the Portland Adult Soapbox Derby 3 years in a row, including a team podium sweep last year - 2019 video...

And in a fit of efficiency, I put the door handles back in and got the locks working from the outside on both of them. I can now open both doors from the outside (and inside) and secure the cab from the exterior with a key. The only thing I can't do presently is lock them from the inside. I...

In the process of prepping for paint, I wanted to also get my door handles/locks working. The driver's side entry worked fine but I had no key so it wouldn't lock. Turns out it wasn't even connected up anyway... The passenger side door opened from the inside, but did nothing from the outside-...

It's been pretty quiet on the truck front lately but managed to empty a few rattle cans. Pretty happy with the change, but it does look like a rattle can job. Will look better once we get some dirt on it. Still need to do the chassis but quite pleased enough with it so far.

If you have a Google account, it should be possible to post in on your drive there and share a link to it. If you don't, they are easy to set up. I'd be happy to set one up for you just to get this posted for people to use. Let me know. Chris

ramdough - I PM'd you regarding the 1083 file.

Where did you find 2017 Goodyears?

Rad removal was nothing overwhelming. It's large and awkward but the process is straightforward. I was nervous going into it but if you're into working on this stuff, it should be no problem.

2000 and it is plated and insured, and driven when the mood moves me. Plate is the OR Special Interest option and insurance is through Progressive, as a commercial vehicle for personal (non-commercial) use. I will PM you the agent who went the extra mile to find me the coverage.

I am with Progressive and classified as a commercial vehicle for private use. Keep calling around until you have someone who does the leg work to understand this is coverage which the company provides. I had to go through a handful (5 or 6) agents before someone was truly interested in taking...

Oregon City M1088

Watch the extension of your over-cab portion. Remember that the cab needs to tilt up for motor access/service:

Driveshaft balance made a large improvement on my 1088. Didn't clean it all up but made a large improvement. $pendy, but ask around- the consequences are even worse. I paid ~$1100 for all new universals, one section being rebuilt, and everything balanced.

With another ~100 miles under the chassis, I can confirm things are much better. I do want to go back through the tires as there is still just a minor shimmy from time to time, but I am willing to bet that checking/adjusting the balance and concentricity will resolve it. It felt good enough to...
