Took it out of storage and R. Kelly'd my trucklites just because I like the look. I now get a golden shower of light at night.
Also threw on a set of 1969 plates (all legal like), relocated the rear plate mount and wired up a new light.

Sorry no photos of the 40. But took it surf fishing with my son yesterday. The look on his face says it all as he had a reel break. Second is the grilled Pompano he had for dinner about 1 hour after it was caught.
Showed up 2021 "ran when parked" in '97. Needed absolutely everything except a body lol
Current day '24 after replacing/restoring anything I could get my hands on.
Alright....I've put a few hundred miles on the Bilstein shocks now and let the 'confirmation bias' wear off. I can't really find the right words to describe the difference. The best I can come up with, they are much more of a supple ride than...
So here are some pictures with the 35 and the 33. I’m debating if I should go with a 2 1/2 lift. Or a fender flare. First 2 pictures are the 35 and last 2 the 33. I hate having such a big gap between the wheel well the top of the tire. It doesn’t...
No real reason to put these on now other than to get them off my workbench before I break them... considering the condition the vehicle was in when I got it, they are in decent shape
Finally got around to fabricating my parking brake lever mount for my 81 rear axle. A couple of hours of playing around, if I did this for a living I would be in the poor house. It does work so I will be disconnecting the original dash mount...
It was 77 degrees today and it actually felt a bit hot in the sun but I did get the in-tank fuel pump installed and aligned ready to go. It was much easier than I thought and only took about an hour and a half. Sniper stuff getting laid out on...
Finally got started installing the in-tank fuel pump for the upcoming Holley Sniper install. I figured the new tank was a better idea since the old one is 49 years this May. Surprise to me but when I removed the fuel tank cover under the...
Thought I would also show the powder coating booth. Using steel shelving with casters added, I created a box using I/4” MDF primed and then clear coated for easy clean up. Then installed fan with filter. It’s simple to pull out to use and then...
Restored and powder coated (had to also make the booth) a late model carb cooling fan 16360-61023 and retrofitted it into a 1976 40. Created a small upper bracket to catch the two #4 M6 bolts. Used neoprene 3/4x3/4T to close gap between fan and...
Made an alignment jig, I was 1/16 toe’d out after the axle swap. Definitely explains why I had to hold the wheel on our fine NY roads. Turned the relay Rod about just past a quarter turn. Now I can hold the wheel with two fingers on most roads...
Been back on the road about a year and half now and finally found some time to install a radio so I get to cruise again with tunes, still have to pinch myself now and then I get to ride in this thing again. Back then Green Day’s Dookie got tons...
Worked on my rear brakes yesterday before the eclipse. Trying to figure out the low pedal. I guess ill tear them apart again and adjust more. 3 pumps and then great pedal. No air in the system. Planning a rear bar on the roll bar for the family...
