Thanks for clearing that up Bill, I'm a visual learner. Ha!

Fresh pics! Well, a couple weeks old. I'll post new ones tomorrow. Been busy...installed motor in 93 zx7r, getting TZ-bodied honda 500 interceptor back together, got the 94 pickup out of storage and got a quick trip in to Nepal.

The plane shown above is the Concorde at Heathrow. Cool stuff.

Hello! I've been reading forums on here for years but never really got around to registering, until now.
I'm up in Alaska and finally found an old 40. There's a handful in MN but there all rough and gold-plated, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, been working on the restoration for the last year and a half and I've made decent progress I think. I know how you guys love pictures so I'll try and track down my photos from my old phone from when I first bought it. Until then here's a few snapshots in the meantime.
Check out the modified rear latch! The ball bearing really makes it smoooooth.

Cale. Welcome from a fellow Alaskan. Having a forty be driveable, reliable and warm in the subarctic is a challenge and relates directly to safety as well. There are some mods that you may choose to do for your purposes that guys down south wouldn’t need to consider. I say do what makes it safest for you and as you know, warmth is a big part of safety here. Most of our rigs up here are not going to get out of here alive anyway, so might as well make it yours and enjoy it.
