hey that is easy, I have located them for you, they are on your bench.......it's the details that eat your time and your brain...but stuff like this is easier on your wallet when fabricating your own stuff....if you don't believe me, get out there and so some of the stuff Ulu (& others) are doing.

A salute....to all who have served.... retired US Army and US AF Reserves, combined 32+ years

for sure...hard to prevent heat creep......

in the case of the truck, battery beneath the floor, as is the original topic here, this is not needed.....out of sight out of mind...call me cheap, YOU'RE CHEAP!...but it is hard to justify this cost for a cover that is so easily seen as faux battery....you may fool yourself but that is where it will stop...but at casual glance it passes inspection.

for sure there are different schools for the two set up...depend on how you drive them as to what you will get out of them....they tamed the beast at speeds to 85, figure that is all I best push it given conditions.....I would be floating like a boat with stock....not so now...nice controlled ride.

I have more than once made mention that the purist do look down their noses at the resto or rod builder while all the time not realizing if not for them, they would not have the pieces to maintain their cars in the original configuration. Can't save them all and many feels cutting up and parting out a car is blasphemy. Well, they are welcome to buy the heap and do the work but then that is not going to happen either. Talk is often fast and cheap. I went to look at a car last weekend.....picture and description made it a promising car. That is where it screeched to a halt. By looking at the lower medal, unibody frame...I think the roof was all that was keeping it from folding...but man it sure looked good on the outside. Oh, it could be saved for sure, just not economically. Perfect glass turned out to be windshield with perfect round holes...would be a nightmare finding a glass I would think. But, I did go look thus I am content on the pass.

hook up a couple headlights and see how much it deflects.......

Hotrod tractor is MIA for over a year....and I never had a phone number for him or really his real name so no means to check on him. We swapped PMs quite frequently and then one day....no more replies and it was to me strange as we were in the middle of a conversation. Anyone have any knowledge as to his current status?

if you lowered you front...what did you expect out of your shocks...

I have each but they are filed away somewhere for now and to be honest with you....not sure I could state is a lot of difference and that one will work as well as the other. IF I run upon these next time I am long term storing an item or having a need to collect from my long term, I will compare these closer and report findings.

I am not so sure I can help you except to say it can be done...while my hood was open and foreseeing such an event you describe....I made a special shaped metal rod to g between the grill slats, rotate a few degrees and catch against the lever and with a bit of a push you can get it to pop up....you can make similar just by looking between the slats and getting an image of the under side of the latch

If it is on your invoice, what shock did they install for you....? Am sure some on here will find this relevant.

Without being politically affiliated with either party....you said that last time he was in office...but...here you are and you returned during his term in office......besides as a Canadian....you have no say either way either party in the course of our election process......get over yourself...but if you can't, farewell and enjoy your life.

technically from the standpoint of ripped off design, features and such, I am not at all upset that the company went under....continuing the same fraud and scam today on the so called unfinished cars being added to the register...another bogus claim and anyone who has the an original counted car is being devalued with the additions....this is not right for the receivers to make money and debase the true cars.

it is doable but you will be moving a few things around in the process...

only thing here is that granny refused to get out of her chair and get into the truck, so they picked her up chair and all and loaded her for the trip....looks like a nice comfortable way to inspect the underside of an overpass.

should have had your Santa hat on......

what is the world coming to that a bungee cord will only last 5 years.......😃

harder to get more narrow than a 1941 WC with Burma Rd. fenders but....440 went in with no trouble

I told you I could hear you snickering.....

well, I have seen my share of rat rods....and I have some very fine engineered rat rod themed cars built.....with a quick glance you can see the ones that folks cared about safety and engineering over just 'make it work' just think Ulu, you can now go into mass production of this set up.......Ok, I can hear you snickering now...

My van has the shifter on the dash all of a sudden it is 1956 again.....while many things are new to the less aged person, many thing are just NEW AGAIN...and I assure you , for the most part....lots more effective in the process.

my 2015 Dodge is a drop in filter also.....but the system is far superior to the old cannister and I think you will can say that about your Volvo and or Toy....on the old cannister it is such a fuss sometimes to find the filter, clean the cannister and worry about possible leaking after the fact. Trust me the difference is night and day between then and now. With the modern drop in filter they are readily available at even Wally world would be my guess. Even Wally world stocks genuine mopar filters for the modern drop in cartridge. While this is apple and apples in comparison, the old would be a crab apple and the new a Honeycrisp

you gain availability.....that would be obvious to the most casual observer...what filter to use and where to buy is always the question, not the fact it is a by-pass system. I assure you if the old cannister was such top of the line it would be used yet today, the truth is, as with most things, a better method comes along and the old and cumbersome gets lost along the way.

the spin on adapter is inexpensive and effective, plumbed correctly does not appear as an afterthought eyesore and given the cost overall, pays for itself in two to three oil changes. When my box of filters I have hoarded run out...will be my go-to.
