Love mine too, and it isn't even it yet.
There's a brand new dual gate 2 on ebay right now, it's up for like $700

I will get some new pics next weekend. But for now,
I just put a new starter in, installed a oil pressure and water temp sensores, new wiper motor, pull the old nasty turbo 4.9 wiring, new fuel lines and filter, new e-brake cables.
We are now working on cutting out the old floor pans and installing new front and rear pans, and wire wheeling the entire undercarrige. Once thats done we will undercoat it all.

Tons. I'm glad the starter blew, cause when I took it out, it was too close the flywheel and the nose cone was busted off. It's on corectly now. Ahh, jack it up and get a creeper. LOL |

Hi, Recently I installed a new starter, and new fuel lines and filters, a new wiper motor, began wire brushing the under carriage, and pulled the turbo wireing that was nasty duct taped together with live wires in it, and was a fire waiting to happen. Actually we had a small electrical fire, so thats why that was pulled. I got the new metal in for the floors. Got acouple pics with my phone. Forgot my camera.    Steve B. |

Hey, Some updates. New radiator/fan shroud, fusable links to the altenator, full exhaust, in dash a/c vents fully installed, new lower quater panel is welded on, sound deadener/heat sheild with carpet. My dual gate shifter is finally in. Went to autozone and picked up a 2 bbl aircleaner and 2 window crank handles for about $25. The plan is to bring the T/A home during next week and I promise to have a ton of new pics for you  Awhile ago I picked up a refur'b Delco radio with an aux jack installed to plug in an ipod.     |

I was low on time but I snapped a few new pics. New lower quater, still needs bondo  It's kinda funny. The fuel door lens I got from a junkyard looks better than the ights.  carpet  This seat took us 2 and 1/2 hours to re upholster. Not bad for first time upholsters though.  And the dual gate is finally in  Legal now. Been driver place to place all day today with no probs. My plans of it bein my daily is comin true. |

Hey,
Some updates. I got the T/A street legal. Passed emissions, YAY! Got all the seat upholstered, got new speakers to put in. I had to drop the gas tank and put replace the fuel lines that go around the top of the tank from the fuel flu.
Decided I'm gonna pull the cat pipe off and put a Purple Hornies' glass pack and leave it open, I want it as obnoxious as i can, install the lakewood traction bars, and much more. I'll get updated pics posted up soon.
