Really like your ride height, stance and wheel setup-going to do some measuring on my '78.

Thanks Varty! Lots of work and lots of $$ but was well worth the effort. What are you working on these days?
It was another beautiful day in the bush so decided to wash the cruiser.
So that's what Freeborn Red is supposed to look like! Always like pics of your 40, it's an inspiration to get mine to that stage!

Uh, sorry...Hold on, I think a gnat flew into my eye and caused that spot.....gnat gone, and nope, no spot, nice job!

I know Rick!
Actually a bird launched a big torpedo bomb as I was drying my cruiser, unfortunately didn't take a pic of the splatter, was too pissed.
Maybe next time!
Looks spectacular Mike, you rig has been where I want to take my '78 as well!!!

I Got some goodies today from Roger @Racer65 ~ Thanks Roger!
Air intake hose and lots of stainless steel, OEM style, hose clamps
I had some spare time from all the
honey dos, so...
I removed the old, crusty, and broken air intake hose, it lasted 30+ years!
Here's the new one installed with a new stainless steel hose clamp, perfect fit!
Thanks @Racer65 !

Good question, but, I really don't know, I'll have to do a search on this topic.
I can only hope my 40 will turn out as nice as yours! Well done.

Thanks Ryan!
I truly believe yours will exceed your expectations and it will be better than mine for sure!
Besides yours is a diesel, that alone makes it better!
No diesel engine in my 40, just my truck! I wish that I had dropped a diesel engine in there!

I don't know where the diesel idea came from, oh well. I know I have diesel on my mind so there you go problem solved!
You could still drop a 3b in there.

You can, but the question is why? You've already got rust resistance with stainless. Cad plating is supposed to be toxic:
