Installed leaf spring mount skid plate/sliders. Gathering parts for brake upgrade. Disc brake conversion on the front & 11" drums on the rear. Getting ready for CFCT 2020.(target date for retirement) I want to be able to stop before crashing at the bottom of the mountain.

 New exhaust put in on Sunday, front to back. Can't wait to put the gas tank back in and see how she sounds.

WOW Rick! So the system uses air, and it mixes it with fuel to create a combustible vapor? .... genius! Let us know how you like it!

Yep. And the key is COLD air. You can clearly see the difference in temps between the two pics. Pretty sure when this gets out, all the hot rod and performance shops will be installing this type system. Iām just glad I have 4 wheel disc brakes so I can slow this monster down! Donāt try this at home yāall. Iām a professionalš

About the only thing I did last night was go out every hour or so and sit on the bumper to look at the Blue moon. Yep, that's the moon. I went out later when it should have started into the blood part and we had clouds. I stayed up all night for that?

I'm overhauling my canvas. The doors are getting new windows and some paint on the frames:
 on the left is the new 30 mil marine-grade window, on the right is the old window made from vinyl from JoAnns. It looks decent enough on the table, but you can't see traffic through it at all. It's only about two years old. The finished product:  Of course, I got distracted at one point and wanted to go do some snow driving...  yeah, it's not the powder I blasted through a couple years back. This has three or four layers of 1/2" ice in it from various storms, and the entire depth of it has the consistency of a sno-cone. So without lockers, this is the 'end of the road' as it were..  |

..."not intended for home use. Do not take internally. Side effects can include dry-mouth, shaking, night sweats, and the desire to find abandoned trails. Use only as directed." Dude, how much power are you getting out of that hydraulic cooling setup? If that's a 3000psi system, you've gotta be pulling an extra 50% pony-power off that, too!
