Hey Brett, the 73 must have been quite the beast. It was certainly worth the bother to make the shelf up. Thank you for the compliment! Your chassis/axle build up is looking really sharp! And yeah, bugs everywhere = it's finally driving!

Either way, it definitely sounds like you're making good progress as your temps did drop. That head liner visor is nice! I had one in a 89 F250 but the design was crap. I can't remember who produced it, but it had to have stiffeners installed to keep it from vibrating it's self off the roof. I like your gauge provisions too. Great job!
Thanks Ryan! As I said, my first foray into square to round. Not perfect, but when I get time I'll dress the welds up and get a proper coat of paint onto it. When the fans are running it doesn't feel anything like twice the airflow I had, but who knows.
A lot of time into that shelf, I told Princess we were going to sell them to the Ameerrican's!
