    1975 Vmate restoration

    Wow. He's gone over/cleaned/machined the whole block, cut you a break on parts where ever he could, explained everything, and charged you a flat rate $50/hour labor? All in, including return shipping for under a grand! Not sure what you were expecting to pay, but that's a great deal where I'm from.

    Question for you, why are your dual steering cables coming in from both sides? On my dual setup, the both come into the well from the drivers side.

    Pulled the trigger!

    I've had trouble with Paypal in the past in that it seems in the fine print they don't actually guarantee the transaction unless it's thru Ebay.

    1975 Vmate restoration

It's such an awkward lift angle, and as the battery tied down to it as well, I really didn't see the point in leaving the front edge. I...

    Stereos & Batteries - Read before buying.

    thanks. I have an open bow Eluder, no cabin space, but there is a big space above the passenger's feet wich size wise seems ideal for a fairly square sealed sub box.

    Stereos & Batteries - Read before buying.
