How exactly are you achieving this?

I just got screwed today like you did. Wondering how I'm going to get out of my debacle

That sucks. I was not aware of photobucket's change of terms.

Not to mention the price of the air compressor I had to buy ($450) and the piping, regulator, and dryer ($125). But I will be using that compressor, hopefully, for at least the next ten years.

No getting around it in my book. 8 years of work (or lack thereof!), 4 different builds on multiple different sites. I'm over it. My build thread here is toast.+/-130 pages = I'm not even close to going back to fixing it.

They (photoSUCKit) sent me an email asking me to upgrade to have the ability to post photos on a 3rd party site (here & other forums. At the tune of $400 / yr. Yup... Sorry but EFF that!

Just a bummer now as I so enjoyed watching everybody's progress and this seems to be happening to most guys.

I may start an instagram account & continue my build there, but I'm not gonna be able to salvage my thread here or a couple other spots.

Did the same crap to mine. Don't know if I want to pay up just on the principle of the thing.

I'm going back to my old posts and switching the links out. But I'm running into issues as I can't change old posts.

Does anyone know of an Administrator on this board?

Short update. Got a few miles on her now. Everything seems to be working great except the cruise control, which I've been running diagnostics on. I've got a whole new list of little things to tidy up. She runs good and has a TON of power (Haven't even gone past 2500 RPM), but needs some tuning for sure.

Some pics of the dash:



Where she sits now, in her place outside the garage!

Just read all 60 pages in one sitting - great work and very inspiring, guys!

You seem to have more skill in your little fingers than I do in my whole body, mind..

Thanks Ben! I honestly think that my "skill" is not so much because of years of experience and practice, but more patience and willingness to try and learn new things. Anybody can do this stuff with a little practice. Also, what I don't post on here is the huge scrap pile in the back yard of stuff that I screwed up

BTW sorry about all of the broken pictures. I'm working on getting them updated. But in the meantime check out my photobucket account for all the pictures in this thread.

Picked up some seats from a 2011+ F250, along with the seatbelts. These things are about 1000x more comfortable than the damn bench seat!

It'll be interesting to see how easy those seats are to fit.

Me too! I'll definitely need to build some sort of a custom from to bolt them to the floor to get the correct height.

I also would have preferred a manual drivers seat adjustment, but I can make it work.

The tires in the background are a good sign
When do those get installed?
