    The results of the floor covering are in... Huge decrease in interior racket and heat transfer. I can hear the engine through the open window... not through my feet into my skull. Also, no more heat radiating up from below when not wanted. before after

    I just got one roll of each as I was most interested in covering the front footwell that droned horrendously and the heat from the tunnel. I layed the thinner peel and seal strips on the outer areas of the footwell. Three strips on each side used that whole roll. I layed the thicker duct foam...

    While everyone else is freezing, today was up to 79 and a good day to try to install the LMC truck vinyl floor kit I got for Christmas. Between the heat and the droning of the floorboards, I also layed in some poor mans dyna-mat. One roll each $17 and $19 respectively from lowes. This was...

    Some states/localities require a visual inspection of emissions equipment. The cold air duct and the early fuel evaporation (EFE) systems that are usually incorporated into the intake do affect emissions and are an easy fail if it looks like its missing. All cucvs look like the intake ducts are...

    The battery situation is how I got it from the P.O. The trays are original. The P.O. cut away most of the original huge hold down top brackets to just those two strips with some inner tube rubber isolators. They hold pretty good so I haven't messed with them...yet.

    Added a 4" cold air intake tube. Summit parts. Made a better drink holder. My fav water thermos wont fit these stupid square cup holders. Haven't found a fire extinguisher I like for the mount spot, so I fabbed up a little tray out of 16g stainless. Some psa foam in the bottom and some...

    Finally got around to hooking up a cigarette lighter/power point. Junk yard score. While I was under there, I found a courtesy light fixture.

    I once got a CB900C given to me free because it sat outside uncovered for 10 years with the carbs off. Guy said it was locked up with rust, which it was. I put a couple squirts of ATF in each cylinder and tried to get it to break free with the starter. Two tries each day...Clunk...Clunk...let...
