The extra 6” can only add to the usability and if done right isn’t noticeable. IMHO Aqualu doesn’t scream restoration so any mods if done clean and well planned can’t hurt.

To expand a bit on Jdc1's reply, you really want your primer to have the best adhesion possible to the metal. As such, why would you want to put some cheap and easy primer underneath the epoxy primer, potentially sacrificing its bond to the...

Seller just texted me: the 43 was picked up 15 minutes ago. Anyone who happens to see it on the truck in Tx, La, Ms, Al or Fla will get a free like if they post a pic here.

He’s got it on his website- it might take awhile.

Toyota Matt…. Some 16ga and 3 or 4 M5 rivnuts would do the trick.

There's a whole gang of them. I give em hell, ask them if they fly the pride flag all year or just in June!

He is driving a jeep…..

It’s amazing how well they run when things are right- and amazing that they run with how messed up things can get.

Running like Usain Bolt. After I fixed the linkage between the choke and primary throttle plate, somehow I had the linkage on wrong. It would close the choke butterfly but not open the primary butterfly down below. It made for some...

Sea Foam brings out the best in everyone. I think we hit a 5th grade maturity level, a new high. How’s the carb ?

Wow.

The tin lol. I can’t remember what it’s called but definitely comes in handy in any Shatastrophe.
