I prefer halogens still. Something about LEDs messes with my eyes. They seem brighter but at the same time my road vision is worse with them. Got some Osrams a while back that I really like that work for me though. Plus there’s snow here and I like that to melt.
Anyway, the Amazon page for the...
What Hella housings are these? I'm ahout to redo the lighting situation on Matilda and was going to go the Koito route again. These photos are making me second guess that however. Same bulb in both??
They aren’t TOO huge. I think any narrower and you’ll have room to drop stuff beside the hand brake or it won’t be placed right for your elbow. Go 8” with either brand.

I don’t doubt a larger engine hoist could handle body removal, but the balancing seems like it would be delicate work. And the height. I could see a standard engine hoist lifting the body off a small car no problem, but getting up above a tall cruiser … did you put the engine house on top of...
Got it - regular 4” cutoff wheel!
Do you drop the gas tank, shield it, or just go Mad Max style? I’m considering preemptively doing this for Matilda because the C-channels are just barely starting to buckle, and if I decide to save my tomato truck it will certainly need it. Hence all the...
