I'm only 45 minutes from there. I'll be there Saturday and maybe Sunday!!

I went with the Halogen headlights as well. No problems as of yet. I've purchased many items from Those Military Guys and so far have worked as expected. Their customer is great as well.

The last thing I did this weekend was replace some seriously rotted wire insulation on the front parking lights. Not only was it rotted badly but whatever was left was packed with dirt. Quick update on the fuel tank issue. Located a good takeout through Ken at Kublos. Spoke to him Saturday...

Also wrapped all my cables, put on new terminals and cover before installing the battery box and got the storage box wrapped up as well. The battery disconnect switch works perfectly as well. Thanks Peashooter for your info on that!! Storage box has a jack, air hose and chuck, some rags, an...

Well this weekend was productive. Got my storage box and battery box area primed, painted and reassembled.

Dam...Glad I found this, I saw the same on mine and thought....no biggie, I pick up a plug next time I'm at the hardware store...[thumbzup]

Nope!! Looked real good after it was done. Resin hardened up real nice, everything was clean. I'm thinking that it is possible that where I was seeing the seepage was not where the leak was, that maybe it was traveling from a slightly higher area....who knows, all the seams on the tank are...

Well the fuel tank repair was a fail. Guess a new tank is in my very near future. So besides draining the fuel is it a really difficult job? It didn't appear to be to bad.

Then I went forward with needle scaling and some grinding on the battery box area and storage box area so I can get them ready for primer and paint. This all went well except for the fact that I had a little mishap around the fuel tank. There was some light rust and old dirt build up on the...

Okay, Well got my battery box and fabbed up a wood system to secure the batteries and hold my disconnect switch. I did mine similar to SS member Peashooter's battery box. It worked out very well. The difference between the plastic and metal box was an easy fix and required just drilling 2 holes...

From what I've seen the difference in boxes appears to just be the latches. The steel box uses latches that are bolted to the box mount and they swing up and then there are T-shaped bolts that lock the latches into place. The plastic box doesn't use those, which is no biggie as they easily un...

There is the typical surface rust issues but fortunately no other rot that I have found. In this case it was just the box, the area where the box goes is very solid, just has surface rust.

I'm planning on painting mine by the end of the summer. I was figuring on 2 gallons of primer. 2 gallons of green and then a case of black and a case of brown in rattle cans. Does that sound like enough to paint an entire deuce or am I seriously short changing myself?

Well finally got started on my battery box and storage box. Cleaned out the driver's side storage box, it is actually in good shape, all ready for primer and paint. The battery box was another story. I had planned on re-doing my box from the get go because it was not securely set up plus I...

Looks great Dan, that is some incredible frame flex. Are you going to install landing pads for the helper leaves?

Well took the deuce out to Lowes, about a 45 minute plus ride each way today and showed the significant other that it is useful plus great exercise for the deuce....lol. Picked up some 1x4x12 pressure treated and new stainless steel hardware. My troop seats are all fiberglass except for 2 boards...

Yeah, they are pretty much just like what you would find on any automobile or truck. When the hood is closed and you initially unlatch it they are pretty weak, a little lift and they start to raise the hood but they get stronger and faster as they open further and the angle give them a better...

I like it. It is very easy to use, works very smoothly. I don't let it go up on its own as I feel doing that regularly would damage things. I will go up fast if you let it go so I either use the cable that came with it to open it smoothly or get up on the bumper and guide it up. It doesn't open...

Congrats Man!! You definitely earned that one!!

I agree with you and was thinking of a shut off valve as well. I like your idea of it after the last filter. Anyone have any suggestions of what style valve would be best or is any ballvalve good?
