OH YES! I have a customer wanting an INTI style rack, so I may build one and try it out on Goss.... JUST TO MAKE SURE THE FIT AND LOOK IS RIGHT....

I LOVE the yellow zinc highlights on that rack, so pimp! The TLCA sticker is sweet too!

Yes, I would prefer that it fit before you ship it.

Got my console organizer for @NLXTACY, Joey. Great item and very professional appearance and service.

Also received my new business cards that @Trapper50cal, JT designed for me.

Built a new shifter/tunnel cover to house the Ranger, 5 spd and twin sticks. There is a TON OF NOISE coming through this area form the 4BT. So I'll add one or two layers of 40oz. jute padding underneath to help deaden the noise. Still need to mold it a little more but, it fits nicely.

Charlie and I hung out most of the day. Cruisers, beers, and burgers....

Spring loaded glass breaker... I think that will be more of a party foul contributor than anything... HA!

Got started wiring the SpeedHut gauges this afternoon. Power to all gauges and I have oil pressure, gas level, and voltage, tach is good as well...Stereo is installed in the dash. Dash cap and cleaning up a few MORE ELECTRICAL GREMLINS TOMORROW!

I cut and I cut and I CUT more redundant bypass hot and grounding wires than I have ever seen in my life out of the monster today... The boost tube was cracked at the manifold so... I'll run and get more ferrules and tubing tomorrow. While I was installing the new oil sending unit... I noticed than one of the motor mount bolts was missing and the other was starting to back out... NO COMMENT!!!

@boots4 and/or @GLTHFJ60 Mike or Johnny What is the bolt size/thread on the block for the motor mount? I'll get these as well... Glad I had to get under Goss to work on things today and identified this!!...

Once everything is buttoned up I will get the GPS speedometer dialed in on my shakedown run for leaks and HOPEFULLY NO ELECTRICAL SHORTS...

Well I won't be loading up the RTT. The ladder extension is BACKORDERED so... We will either ground tent it, sleep in rig it, or hotel it...

Or beer case it... As in beer case stand extension for ladder. I love dual purpose items!

I'm eager to see the speedhuts.
I gotta tear out the turbo to tap for egt, and my foot is decommissioned this week, so I'll either have to do gauges or drink beer.

I honestly like the HOTEL IT .... PLAN !! I'm getting old (not to mention waking up twice to piss in the middle of the night ... climbing up and down a new OBJECT half ass asleep isn't too inviting in my mind right now...) and Andrea will REALLY APPRECIATE IT...

The SpeedHuts wire up great. Pretty easy. I'll post a pic tomorrow on the final install.

I hear you on pains... I've pushed too much to get ready to go... I won't have my display stands done in time... so people will have to look at products on the ground.. But at least they will be able to pick up, touch and feel a little better... etc...

Yup, glass breaker. One of the few items I hadn't really pushed because I wasn't sure how well they would do. I played around at a junk yard with it but all of the video was recorded in slow motion. So I said screw it and just threw it on the site. Great to have when you need it.

Its a cool little device... But in a bad jam I think I'd grab for my 6-D battery Mag-Lite..
