Installed a new battery tray tonight. The tray was fabbed by Kelly aka "MetWiz" It has deeper stampings than the other OTC parts, and comes in bare metal, so I don't have to grind cheap primer off of it.

Tonight I sectioned in a piece of Alan Schofield metal left over from the barndoor project. Some maroon had cut this out, ostensibly to fit a non-stock air cleaner.

12/20/02 Spengdog Ah, I was wondering! Even with an extremely understanding girlfriend 3 hours a day is pushing it for me!
12/20/02 Thom Anywhere from 2 to 10. I get away with it by not being married with children.
12/12/02 Spengdog Thom, how many hours a day do you average in the garage, and how do you get away with it?

03/07/03 Thom My '60 DD panel w/1600SP can easily exceed 75mph if I'm not paying attention, and I've verified the speedo with a Garmin GPS. I suggest you naysayers go round back and do a tune up, in addition to getting the *proper* tires on your bus.
03/05/03 Everett My bus has reduction boxes and a Rancho flyer and goes over 55mph, thank you very much. Nice job, Thom! You don't need no steenkin' straight axle conversion!
12/21/02   You see, buses weren't meant to be race cars. They were meant to do work, if you would rather race, might as well buy a Honda. Wait, those aren't race cars either. KEEP IT STOCK
12/20/02   woo hoo we dont have to worry about going over 55 ever again! sign me up!

If you have to cut out a chunk of the bed supports, it's probably a good sign that that kewel new air cleaner you picked up on sale at Pep Boys isn't really right for your bus.
