Those are pretty sweet and was what i was gonna go with before these popped up haha! Just gotta fab up some mounts
 
Pulled apart a new (to me) gear reduction starter I got to replace the old one off my '72, which had the solenoid poop out not too long ago. It needed some cleaning and some fresh grease on the bearing points. Also scrubbed down the exterior to shiny it up. (These are before pics; my hands were covered in too much filth to snap any photos after cleaning)

@Skydog cool pics as always!!!!
Thanks for the compliment !! ... Did a photo shoot of a young lady Crew Chief this week, this past Monday. She wished it with her Jeep Wrangler, which she purchased new this past June. A number of becoming images of her with her new, beloved Jeep, and her favorite helicopter that she crew chiefs on - each image uniquely different from the others. I'm believing she'll be pleased.

@Skydog, Images. I only see one... ;)
LOL !!... well, it was NOT along the same lines of one of my boudoir photo shoots... :)

Three more, as merely an example of what we did between herself, her new Jeep, and her beloved UH-1 Huey (NOTE : the colorful trailer-wrap, on the blurred-out trailers, seen in the second image, are also of my work. Both of the two trailers, parked back-to-back, happened to have been there on that same ramp that same day) :

Two things; I found out I qualify for "Antique Auto" tags which reduce my tax value on the 1970 FJ40 down to $500 thus saving me money for taxes. More money in my pocket and less for the govt to throw away. Maybe people will read the tag and no get so impatient with me for not traveling as fast as they usually do.

Don't remember where I first saw these but I ordered a pair from BH3D.com and they arrived today. They attach to the body with tape and the tape has been let into the back of the medallion just enough so it looks like the medallions are sitting flush with the body. They appear to be very well made although one has some paint scratches that unless viewed from up close and personal just aren't enough to be seen or bothered with. They are now installed on the fresh air kick vents.

Updated my stickers to explain to other road users why I'm blowing past them :D also put some bling on...

@Vossie Is that your home in the second photo? Makes my 6 room mansion look inadequate.
