    Slowly moving forward with the plumbing...

    Brakes are done.

    Now moving onto the power steering to hydroboost to rack plumbing.

    Hundreds and hundreds of dollars in AN fittings, stainless line, bending/flaring tools.

    PowerSteering to Hydroboost Plunbing.jpg

    May be difficult to see what's going on here, but I'm finished with plumbing the power steering pump/rack/reservior TO Hydroboost.
    Have yet to start the engine and put pressure thru this to check for leaks, but will do that when I get to the point of firing up the engine. (many months away)

    Good to hear from you Paul. Hope you get that Nomad running soon. It looks like you're not too far from doing that.

    I've been back working on my interior, and I have 4 color panels painted to try to pick my final interior and exterior colors.

    Geez, it's late April and after the IRS got thru with me (on the 15th) there's no $ left for Nomad build parts. Aargh...

    Lets just say I paid in enough on the 15th to buy another nomad....

    I hate that I'm always financing other peoples lifestyles instead of my own.

    I used to pay enough taxes every year to buy a new finished tri5...almost as much in Federal and State taxes as the median family income. This was the first year I filed as "retired" and it worked out well. I paid at a 4.09% federal tax rate, my income is at below poverty level, and I'm getting a nice refund. LOL! I hope Obama decides to give away "Obama Bows" so I can shoot my own meat and can stay off of food stamps. I paid NOT ONE CENT to Colorado. Yahoooooooooooo!!!

    LMAO! I'm luvin' it!! Gonna play the games as much as I can, since they screwed me over so many years.

    Well I bit the bullet today and called up Vi-King shocks and discussed my needs and ordered a complete set of double adjustable coil overs. $1098 shipped to my door, including spanner wrench, thrust bearing kit for each shock, and "t-bars" for the bottom of the front shocks (mount to the lower a-arm)
    Went with a C-218 Front shock body, with 500# springs. 12.5 inch ride height.
    Went with a C-210 Rear shock body, with 400# springs. 14 inch ride height.
    Made in Minnesota...

    I'll post some pics when they come and I get them installed.

    I've also been welding up the trans tunnel, and other misc floorpan mods. Still working on that. Geez it takes lots of time and grinder/sanding discs!
