Same issue on another build prompted the use of one of these squishy guys... I also have a dual DCOE intake gathering dust on a shelf. Just saying... 😊

Unless you're bolting a 620 cab to a 720 frame, maybe? 720 cab maybe had a slightly taller trans tunnel...

Yes, in hindsight this would have been a better plan, and I did consider it. My initial reasoning was that the parcel tray needs to be screwed down on the ends and I didn't want the screws visible. But it would have made for less wrinkles in the end, and a much easier install. If the wrinkles prove to be too much of a deal breaker, I may take it out and redo it in this fashion. Somehow, in my addled brain, this seemed like the "easier" way... 😅

Model A hot rod I saw this weekend. Very clean...

Got the two rear panels screwed down, and some insulation layed... Decided to break the carpet into two pieces, for many reasons... Ended up with two wrinkles in the center because the rear package deck is curved. Gonna try to work those out, or just cut them out if need be... 😉

I think it was. And thanks! 👌

FWIW, I took out the stock bleeder valve and installed a speed bleeder. Then cracked that, ran a hose from it down to a bottle on the floor, pumped it slowly about 20 times (keep checking fluid level), and closed the bleeder. That worked well for me.

FWIW, I have had good success just tossing them in the washing machine when the wife wasn't looking... 😉

Funny thing is, since the old filter looked horrible when we took it out, we thought a reuseable K&N type filter would be the best idea. But it has so much surface area, we have never actually needed to clean it. Just blow the dust off the top every few years. 😁 It does make the compressor a wee bit louder though. The intake honk when it fires up is lovely. 😄

I made one with wood, covered in resin, with a photo I printed. It was pretty easy. If you have access to a drill press and some files, you can make your own too! I think I have seen silicone molds for making them completely in resin, also?

Lexan? 😁

I had never wanted to run a rear seat, and thankfully neither does he. So took some measurements and made a road map... Used that to cut these... I was originally going to make them fit exactly then cover them with suede to match everything else. We conferred and decided to simplify a bit. We cut them just big enough to cover all the holes, then these will get screwed down and covered with carpet to match the floor. Rough cut the rest of the panels to nearly the right size, then started tracing out the exact shapes... Rears cut out... And the fronts cut out... Keen eyed observers will notice I cut the rears as a mirror image, but not the fronts. 🤔 Normally the white side faces in and the brown side gets the fabric glued to it. One of the fronts will have to be done the opposite way. Oh well, the fabric should still stick to it just fine. And I can always rough it up a bit with some sandpaper, if need be... 😅

No thank you. 😆 We just did away with our state inspections this January. Now there's just the rolling 24 year limit where you have to get plugged into the machine once a year to make sure you aren't throwing a code and that's it. Which means I could build a pretty wild 99-02 SN95 and not have to worry about them checking anything. Does Indiana not question the boost at all as long as it passes emissions testing?
