You write very well. It’s fun to read your thread. I tell you on my 35’s I def don’t feel like at 55 I’m doing 65 at all. Especially noted by the number of folks passing me.

Coincidentally that Bigfoot profile was just floating across my roku screen a second ago.
Good stuff! I like those glamour shots and the vinyl matches your truck well!

@NeverGiveUpYota I had to pull off several times to let my adoring fans pass by. I chalked up the looks I got with driving a classic!
@Ian Crawford it looks great. It will fit in nicely after the weather warms up. Thanks again for parting with your old junk to transform it into my new junk.

New shocks and a glamour shot. Buster Brown was showing off this weekend.

There is no other vehicle I can think of that actually looks good in brown. One of charming anomalies of the 60 series. Great pic

Well you are on notice. After Relic Run with ONSC in North Carolina I have to sell either Buster Brown or Comet so the bride can go from a perfectly well maintained Volvo station wagon into a 100 series. Bums me out that I am not independently wealthy like i’d Imagined as a kid.
Such is life. Cool to get your wife in a hundy, though!

Amen. I’d make a horrible millionaire. Cause I’d still live like a hillbilly.
This is the type of picture that made me decide I was going to get one of these trucks. Look at that thing!
It is not a frat-boy SUV, not a a nose in the air gentleman's gentleman SUV, not a soccer-mom grocery-getter SUV. It is just just very classic and understated rugged. Cool, Steve McQueen cool.

So, last Sunday something happened. A really nice couple from about an hour away showed up at our house and bought the Volvo my wife has been driving for a decade. Then I called my buddy who has been patiently holding onto the 100 series. Depositing the proceeds from the Volvo was immediately negated by the purchase of the new to me 100 series. Cheers!

This weekend Buster got his valves adjusted, timing set, and carb dialed in. There's still some hesitation when he is cold but after everything warms up it runs like a champ. Here's to slightly better gas mileage? Time will tell. I did notice this plaque on the engine when it was on the lift. Californikstan company that supplied the long block. Anyone know about them and the quality of their work?
While I was at it, I went ahead and swapped over the V8 into Buster Brown from the new 100 series. Never could understand why plastic covers a perfectly good engine.

Buster Brown has been running really well these past few months. Little issues here and there but nothing serious for a 36 year old beast. Today I decided to make fender skirts. Below is my progress using cardboard, EPDM roofing, and some patience. Patience, something my kids say I have very little of these days.

@NeverGiveUpYota I was gonna say blonde moment but you beat me to it. The plastic cover does add about five horsepower. 
Awesome! I missed a few updates, congrats on the 100 Series!

Yeah my TT aprons were also falling off. I think the thick material needs a longer clip than the OEM ones.I gotta do this, I already lost one of my Trail Tailor aprons on the trail (mall parking lot) somewhere
