just wondering.. have there been any pics of your 70 posted yet.. i haven't seen any.. would like to.. or is it a surprise??
Don't have many but here's a few. Looking to get the turbo done soon as the hills of the Mass Pike proved lethal (almost) Nothing like rolling on the highway in 3rd gear on hills!
It's bigger than it looks in the pics. Love driving it though, especially downhill.

Front bumper and the bar stool on the spare need to go. : )
Kinda like the ladder on the spare tire.
Bumper will stay for now as I have to prioritize my mods. I have a winch to go on it at some point so better a crappy winch bumper than no winch!!

John, let me know when you are ready for the bumper. I can give you a hand building one.
He's probably got a spare winch you can borrow too!
I know nothing about this. ;p
I'm in Florida on vacation until Wednesday. If you could bang it out this weekend for me that would be great.
BTW, I'm in St George Island, FL (off the panhandle) Very quiet, clean island with not a lot of people. There's one hotel and 4 restaurants and about 10 miles of beach. Great place for a vacation and the rentals are incredibly nice and very affordable.
What did you want to make it out of? I have some 2x4 pine in the garage.
No seriously we will need to pick up some steel. What did you want to make it out of? We can probably bang it out one saturday if you wanted to.

Nice looking truck John!!
That'd be cool. Randy owes me some wrenchin time so maybe we can use all his toys to build a nice one.
I'm planning on bringing it up to the Spring meeting so maybe we can get some ideas rolling from everyone.

Something double the size and that sticks out twice as far
I have some thick steel which you could use for pull points as welll as long as there is a drill press so we can drill them for shackles.

Oh no, not another marsupial assisination device?!
I'm thinking Road Warrior type spikes sticking out the front to puncture any Prius' that get in the way
Either way I'd like it to be as light as possible. The motor struggles enough so don't want to weigh it down at all

Went to visit the Doc this morning, have another hernia. Growing old sucks!
Placed a Marlin order a week ago saturday.
The UPS tracking information showed as "Billing information recieved" until today, same as the last time I placed an order. I don't know why this is so hard for them.
Today I received someone else's order. I think the gentlemanly thing to do is overnight my order and give me a shipping label to return the wrong order. They won't next day my order, and didn't tell me that apparently they hadn't actually shipped my order to someone else, which would be an honest mistake. Rather they had managed to not tell me that part of my order was on backorder, and that it's ready to go out now.
Everyone has only the best things to say about their products, but I am unimpressed with the service I've received.
