I just look at everything there is to do and wonder when I'll get it done. Plus, being on long term disability, my finances have changed dramatically from when I started.

I believe it is going well and I'm not one to give up.

The exhaust? I dunno. If 85_Ranger can do it, I can do it. I'm hoping that the 289 manifolds will let me keep the exhaust closer to the engine and the t-case I jave will get the drive shaft further away from the engine. Otherwise....

Stacks out the hood, man!

Hood stacks are best option.



Tractor flapper required.

Hood optional.

I have stacks on the intake on my 2.3.I'm trying to figure out a way to have stacks on the exhaust while having the option to switch to regular exhaust out the back.

You could save hundreds on tubing by switching to hood stack!

At the Anderson IN Culvers.

Talked to the owner of the F800 COE truck. He is a lifelong Anderson resident, and the truck was a retired Anderson Fire Truck that was sitting in the field next to the firehouse rusting away. He rescued it and spent 10 years rebuilding it. The bed rails and floor came from a local sawmill that processed severall ash trees that were killed by the emerald ash borer beetle. The chrome stacks and much of the trim were scrap metal, the seats were from a Honda Cicic and all the metal interior trim was from scrap. The front fenders were from a f100 pickup as the original f800 fenders had a much bigger opening. Has a Cummins in it but I forgot what he said the size was. It also still has the working siren in it!

The Dodge truck is also a rescue from a local business. Original paint with original refrigeration business name still on the doors.

Anderson is very much a Chevy town due to AC Delco having a pretty big factory here up until the 80s, so it was surprising to see a group of car enthusiasts with mostly Fords. The 67 Camaro was sweet looking tho

Im sure this isnt news but was the first time I saw one, new bronco with a retro stripe (probably decal). Seen it the day I dropped off my escape for some work.
