Sorry to see you go through that. Pinky looked to be in good shape before it got rammed.
I would sue that idiot into oblivion. Stupid should be painful-and that's mighty stupid. Had you been in a Fiat 500 or something similarly sized, this may not be such a happy thread. Every time this...
Food poisoning? Sorry to hear that.
"what is the hype?"-it's as big a part of the city as the Fox Theatre! The Varsity is a part of Atlanta culture. It's been here a long time, since 1928 or something like that.

The amount of work to do that wouldn't be worth it. Memphis used to make one piece windshields, with sealed glass. Don't know if they make them anymore.
Nope-waaay too tall.
Nothing is available premade, GI or civvy that will fit. I looked. Only idea I've come up is a a way to mount some ammo cans above the tank and make them removable (i.e. some kind of mounting system like sliders or such).
I'll bet it's like this, no?

It's a Dodge W500 with dual rear axles. Phenomenally rare. I would break many laws to own one.
Never in my 25+ years in the automotive industry have I seen a selectable, "on/off" fan engagement mechanism. Not to say it doesn't exist (seems like the 939 series 5 tons have some kind of fan thingie someone was telling me about), but I've never seen it.
You have:
Thermotstatic fan clutches...

See image below.
No clue on this one.
If it were me, I'd start looking on the web for forums where people have discussed the rebuilding of water pumps on vintage vehicles that are obsolete. See if people are mentioning any kind of material that is used in the way the TM describes.
More likely than not, one of...
Very nice work and attention to detail. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I always wanted to try this when I was in the Mopar hobby, but I had a friend who had an in for replating (phosphate, zinc, cad, etc.) so when I did a 100% job, I just bagged everything and sent it out.
I've never even seen a set in person (or the deuce center seats). They must be pretty uncommon.
If I wanted a set, I'd try and make them out of a deuce set going by the TM pics.
No, our bare frame from the parts truck is still in the backyard. It takes me awhile to build up enough junk to justify a trip to the scrapyard. When I go, if there's a way to get them to weigh just the frame, I'll do it and post the results here.
Sorry.
Correct-the spider harness is all circuit #27, which provides the power for the electrical gauges, so it should go to the temp, oil pressure, voltmeter and fuel level. The air pressure gauge is mechanical, as well as the tach and speedo so they don't require power. Some of the gauges are...
