My guess is that it's part of the smog control system. I think I have one in a box somewhere. No when I took it out.

 

[Megadoomer]

is that roof system all one piece? Can you get it into the pig like that?

Thought i was talking too much about the rack system. Nxt Monday send it to get powdered. Way psyched!!!
I’ll post pics when I get it back/assembled. Definitely wanna show that thing off. Wow, for a slow kid like me it really took some time. And I didn’t even come up with the Idea!
On the rotisserie I turn it on the side to access the easiest. Out the front window.
When it’s on wheels it will go in through the back. I can‘t imagine ever taking it off.

Pffft...read my thread, no such thing as too much. (Or maybe that’s a hint )

 

[xtiaan2000]

The only way I learn is by reading these threads!
So please ramble on all ya’ll!

Ramble on!
Now is the time - the time is now!
Sing my song!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Probably my favorite Zeppelin song.
Got play with the plasma cutter. Keep getting amazed with the tools :0! Pleasing curves.

I call it the Butter knife

Now I just have to find a dampener type thing between the plate and the cab. I know JMack used some cool double posted mounts. I was thinking that A spacer/ dampener about 1/2”Thick and 1” diameter would be great. Kinda like a puck with a hole in the center to tighten down on.
Any ideas?

Made this little mount with the Butter Knife so I didn’t have to penetrate the firewall.

Everything is turning nice!

Nice. Has anyone installed the Restomod Air with the stock vacuum 4x4 controls in place? I'm curious if this unit fits under the Hi/Low range linkage (although this install looks like you have room to come down on the firewall to accommodate.

Keep up with the pictures @xtiaan2000, I'm following you're lead as I need to have an option for Heat and AC. It was 95 degrees here this week with humidity so it makes me keep the pig in the garage as I'll develop a big belly sweat when I drive it.

Kinda psyked on these.

The metal is not backed up, nutcerts. I’m hoping it’ll be okay.

no comments on my pooee welds. I can only get better!

Sheet metal welding just ain’t no fun...those grab handle nutcerts should mostly be in sheer, I think they’ll live?

 

[scrapdaddy]

What vehicle are those handles from? Nice.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Fj60 I think

Pretending that I am in final assembly

Not Scrappdaddy rad, but I’m gonna call it the SD roof bows anyway!

So I must have ground down this joint a bit much and when they sandblasted they blew a hole in it a little less then a pencil eraser in size. Beside just putting some chewing gum on it any ideas on how to fix that?
