    Test Run Took a test run to the hard ware store for some more bolts N nuts. Seems I forgot to tighten one of my Radiator hoses all the way. Those new gauges already payed for themselves, no harm no foul. Other then that all seems well. Now for the hard part... going to the gas station to...

    Yeah, it was a really nice little project to get that sucker on there. To lift it up on there on my own, I ran the center four bolts backwards threw the rear cross member, and set the bumper up onto those, and put a few nuts on to secure it. From there, I used a level to get it even. Then I...

    Dash/lights/hazards stitched up. Just have the fuse box to wire up, then I will have life support(legal lights & sensors). One of the hardest things I have had to do on this project is cut the hole for the volts gauge on the dash. The cutting was easy enough, the getting up the gut to cut...

    Some time ago I stripped out a volvo headed to the scrap yard. In my pack-ratting, I saved all the connectors I could cut out. I finally get to put them to use. The front bib lights I altered to use both as running lights, and turn singles, I added back in a ground wire, and added this volvo...

    Change of plans, Local Glass shop is going to cut a piece out for me. I brought the frame down to their shop yesterday and they said they would cut one out and install it for $100.00, if I get the weatherstripping for it. Having the windshield frame off the vehicle makes it easy for them to...

    Last week, I fired up the engine. It said, " coff, sputter, backfire". I checked my plug wires, and I had two swapped. Fixed wire order, fired it up. Much better, but almost immedialy I noticed my harmonic balancer looked odd,and was rubbing the timing cover. Cut power, and took a closer look...

    I could do without the "Power" text, but was the best set for my eyes that I could find, with an electric speedo. The speedo came with an adaptor, so if you don't have a built in sender unit, like I do on the orion HD, you can hook up your speed cable to it. To set it, you hit a button, drive a...
