"Making a new cabover cab would cost money so here's a 1200A cab with a glass firewall on top of some leftover tractor fenders, enjoy" GMC had a model that had lower glass like that, but it appears to have actually been designed that way from the beginning.

The world needs more cabovers and I need to hit the lottery dammit. I looked at a ‘95-6 NPR with a Vortec 5.7 and a hydraulic dumping flat need at a swap meet a few weeks ago, for $4500. Wish I’d have had $4500...

You probably could, wasn't that built specifically to carry racecars from development to track as quickly as possible?

Good news, looks like the 1966 Ford Mustang GT350 car suffered no damage thanks to its steel construction from the raging wildfires that destroyed hundreds of homes, historical movie sets and 25 people.

That kinda reminds me of the roadkill BBQuda that survived (read: molted like a really, really ugly pheonix) last year's wildfires.

StormDrain posted:I got hung up on that one too, what’s the doghouse for? PTO? Skirting the way length is measured? It has a second engine, a buick 300 bolted to the front of the standard RD450 for extra power  https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2014/09/08/and-thats-the-truth-frank-gripps-twin-engine-diamond-t/ quote:According to Jim De Young, president of Adams Transit in Friedland Friesland, Wisconsin, who would later restore the truck, Gripp didn’t merely butt the Buick’s crankshaft up against the nose of the RD450’s. Instead, he included the Buick’s three-speed automatic transmission, ran its output shaft through a hole in the Diamond T’s radiator, and then bolted the output shaft to the International engine’s crank pulley. The torque converter in the Buick transmission took up the difference in engine speeds, De Young said, and Gripp’s air controls merely shifted the automatic transmission between neutral and third gear. The Diamond T’s throttle pedal worked both engines, and a hood and a home-built grille at least kept the second engine covered, if not blended in. WITNESS!

This is a stupidly rare car that actually got stolen a couple of months back and joyridden before being abandoned. Morons who stole it didn't notice the dashcam, though, which caught their faces

The best thing about my 240sx was that the Nissan FSM was fantastic and the community and documentation on any problems or fixes were very thorough. In contrast, the Mazdaspeed3 community is trash and the Mazdaspeed Forums are awful.
