If you don't use it in a year or two,
You need to throw it away.

I just say Yes Dear and walk away.

Good that you hung on to that Float.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Just thought I’d share another project to be documented. I loaded up my shortbox and headed to a small car show.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
No pictures yet on the truck, but the exhaust is finished. The rams horn manifolds bolted up nicely and I used some Flowmaster FX mufflers. They are mellow yet with a nice low frequency.

Buffed out the oxidation, put the standard bumper on, added some new side boards on the box and headed to the show…
