I bet that fellow he contracted could add that (grossly negligently) omitted feature to the roof rack for a small "change-order" fee....

There should be some sort of brass-catcher added as well to keep the spent casings from denting the hood.....

I would not bet against Rob's fit and finish, or performance for that matter

Although I do appreciate the opinions of others, Rob has been designing custom turbo installations for decades so I'm very comfortable with his designs and suggestions.

Guys I appreciate the kind words. I'm very happy with the Cruiser.

To be clear, this photo of Rob's under-hood lighting system was taken without FLASH.

Yeah, but is the Cruiser happy with you?

 

[cruiserdan]

It lives under cover, will get washed 4 times a week and all it needs to worry about is loose shopping carts....

Are you downplaying the danger associated with loose shopping carts? Obviously you have never been traumatized by one of those encounters.

 

[cruiserdan]

Hmmm..

A few more miscellaneous photos ........ Modified skid plate to be compatible with the ARB brush bar.

Another view of the illuminated engine. (Under-hood lighting system)

Side view .... 1HZ.

As long as that last check that I gave Rob clears the bank we'll all be happy.

Looks great Charles.

Now order the turbo.

Thanks.....
The components will be on the shelf shortly however I plan to run the 1HZ normally aspirated for a couple of months.

I am getting ready to wire up my 12v fuse box to run my accessories, where did you end up mounting yours? I am having a hard time finding a spot that I am happy with. Accessible, yet out of the way and mostly out of sight would be nice.

Wow- she is beautiful!

Wow- she is beautiful!

Thanks for the kind words.

Getting ready to check the fuel economy on the first tank.
I'm anticipating something between 10mpg and 40mpg. : )

Charles,
I will be very interested to know what your mileage figure is. I just finished the first tank of fuel in my 12HT which had zero miles on a fresh rebuild upon installation. With a mix of in town and highway driving I got 18.7 mpg in my 45. I'm very pleased with this result! I hope yours is at least as good.

If I were to list the 77 Series on EBay I would tell everyone that the Cruiser averaged 35mpg but in truth I averaged 16.0mpg on the first tank.
