When can we expect to be receiving some information on making hotel/motel reservations?

That’s not a bad idea. Put the mounts where you want them instead of where the factory put them. Continuing the tradition of “no two being alike”.

OK, back in the garage after a lazy weekend of doing pretty much nothing. I tried to cut down my front trans mount to give me the 3/4-inch or 7/8ths I need for the new transmission position. I was really proud of the grinding job I did on both the old welds and the steel mount itself.

Great. Look forward to seeing you there.

I just registered, Cher and I are coming this year. Not sure about trailer or flat tow yet. Planning on leaving Dayton OH Friday morning if anyone coming 70 east and want to meet up for a caravan let me know.

Yep mine are hinged in the front, they tilt forward to access the storage.

Thanks, it worked great.

Has anyone who fabbed up seat boxes like this considered adding piano hinges or something so you can easily open them for the storage underneath?

Mike I did away with my original seat bases too. The bases I made of wood are now at about 3″ angle toward the back. I started with 2″ and gained quite a bit of room but rebuilt them last summer to gain more and add the webbing. A couple pic in forum picture area of the first bases I built, my number is 1235. I have several more pictures of the…[Read more]

I’ve had good luck with Meguire’s Ultimate Compound bringing back the finish on mine.  

 

Door hinge tip – screwed body part of hinges to a 2×3 to maintain correct distance (7 1/8″ in my case)and straight line between top and bottom hinge pins. Tight & blind nut bolt connections kept me very warm all afternoon. juneybug2013-12-29 20:35:34
