The McMurtry Speirling mini Batmobile is very impressive. I don't watch racing much, Formula 1 is not exactly leading with technology are they. Your local round town runs are getting more better.

Pretty easy to make it happen. Attach ground from side marker to the rear turn element. How it is done in the 71-72 trucks on front markers. If you use led bulbs in the rear turn/brake location doing this mod, side markers will not light at all. Have seen led bulbs cause frustration for a few 71-72 owners.

The key word here is "limited" in lower case. Lifetime Warranty, is to get your eyes away from the key word.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

just showing that I do drive the truck daily, and love it beyond words, anyway a question for you all, and this is embarrassing cause I'm an IT Guy by day and a Forum Updater by night, yet I don't use technology for technologies sake, if you follow that logic, well my wife does this thing where she deposits paper checks into the bank on her phone and I just don't get that Wicket Witchcraft, do you do it also like that?

Love the build! If anyone gives me a paper check, I use my phone to do the deposit as well.

Exactly, time is money, and I'm not wasting time getting my money into my account.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

PSA: so I called up these guys off of Craigslist who call themselves Mobile Ding Performance & Paint. I'm sure you've all heard of 1 Day Paint & Body, well I thought their ad said 1/2 Day Paint, but it actual said they will get there in half a day, anyway they did a half donkey job, drank all my beer, and left, I went to leave them a bad review on Yelp but they must have taken their webpage down, I knew the rollers were a red flag !
