Put a new rebuilt waterpump in the 45, filled the radiator...no leak.
Checked the toe-in on the blue 55 with a tape measure and adjusted the clutch pedal down some.
Re-attached the RTT to the Black Pig, it was loosening up. Checked the oil on the Black Pig too.
 
Nothing but, I found out wife and I are expecting our first, a little girl, and am super excited. So I wanted to share that....carry on.
 
drove carefully

i put on 33bfg km2 but the venders will hit in hughe holes and going 50mph over sleeping policemen.

i had 29 inch tires on and realy miss the acceleration and jumpy niss and torq of my little 2b engine.

going to the body shop tomorow after we install a 24volt vdo radio system.
Mine is from japan also like the 40 above so im thinking about how to keep the flared venders

You're both going to love those THCs.
 
I replaced the volatge regualtor with no success this weekend. Still getting 17 volts out of alternator. Battery was starting to boil. I bypassed the "two battery switch as i only have one battery" and it reduced voltage down to 12.5. I can't tell if if is actaully charging my battery or not. It seems low. I dont see any drain with stereo lights and fan on however . Hoping it is ok. May replace the alternator with new internal regulated version. Any suggestions on part# to easy install? I also replaced ignition wiring harness in sterring column. Made a huge difference.

Installed under driver seat subwoofer box and amp rack. Sweet downward firing install with everything hidden. Great results on sound.

In process of final install of electronic hoist in garage to add, remove, store hard top with front and ambulance door storage integrated into lift. I needed some more room in garage.

Cool rig! If only you were driving back up soon, LOL. My 40 could use a ride :bounce:
 
I think it looks better without the lights on - but that's just me :meh:

:cheers:
 
just finished mounting a first gen pto gear box, cut a hole in the trans tunnel for the lever (luckily, right location, first cut :) ) used about a can of pb blaster on the winch, was seized, now slides back and forth with ease (another :) ) also, removed the old trash cable (had 120'+)...all with help from my pop. began looking for a matching (old style) hood hinge (pass. side is from a later model 40)
