Brakes bled! Haven’t driven it yet but no bubbles and clear fluid. This setup is super easy.
Haha no bragging till you drive them! Ha i made a bleeder like that for mine and it did help alot so success is likely!

Need to install the castor correction plates up front and then take her for a spin!

I'm aware of how cool these trucks run.

My point was for fab purposes and size.
A heat exchanger off say a ford lightning cobra or gt500 is only about 200cm tall, 650cm long and 80cm thick.
They're designed to keep a high temp super charger cool.

It should fit cleanly between the frame rails.
Those might be hard to come by in Russia
 
Took a drive out to the left coast of Michigan for hand delivery of a Bowfin Cruisers rack.

Thanks Pat (@dogfishlake, pictured in mid installation) for making a piece of functional art, and for being an awesome person. Hard to beat this cruiser community...

That was a really fun afternoon. Thanks for choosing the rack. I got to haul something pretty sweet home with me too!

Finally got around to installing the dual swing arm and tire carrier kit on my 4x4labs rear bumper. Also peeled all the raptor lining off the bumper and painted that and swing arm assemblies flat black to match (no pics of that yet). So now I can also finally use my trasharoo lol. Hoping this week or coming weekend to build my jerry can/ice chest rack for the right side as well!

Also made some felt Liners for the ashtray and delta console. I have had one in the ashtray for a few years after driving down the first good washboard in death valley.

I haven’t been able to find it online, but i got it at lowes. It was in the back by the big rolls, comes already cut in a package and there are a few colors. here’s the label:

I installed with Loctite 300 heavy adhesive and used a sharp break off utility blade extended nice and far, it cuts real easy.
So I found that carpet online, but my local Lowes didn’t have it today. They had the same stuff but a different brand. I went with the lighter grey to closer match my factory carpet. I also grabbed a can of the same adhesive you mentioned. I’ll be knocking that out next weekend. Did you like the inside of the drawer with the same stuff as well?

Awesome! With a sharp blade it will cut really smooth. I did the inside with the same stuff, a separate piece for each face. The bottom piece was the hardest to cut.

Got a new toy to join the 80 and I on our adventures.

Fixed my non-working passenger seat. Ordered the gears but turns out it was just not aligned well. I took the entire rail assembly off and realigned both sides "perfectly" and voila! I'll replace the gears sometime as well for giggles I suppose.
