Yes, it's true, the famous MDD is in my gallery in all it's glory!

Note: I will not be held responsible for any malnourished pets or angry neighbors.

If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it. It actually looks pretty good. No offense, AX, but the dog MDD looks better than the hoses you got going there. LOL.... Nice fabrication work.

Pretty cool, AX. From all the dialogue about it, I thought it would turn out to be something about 12" in dia. This rascal is rather petite.

Nice way to clean up some ugly plumbing, tho.

I agree on the hoses, they will be replaced with braided SS ones soon, I didn't want to bleed down the AC just yet. I'm using all braided SS hoses throughout. That's the reason the MDD isn't attached to the firewall yet. It looks especially good when you see it in combination with the polished SS brake booster on the other side of the firewall.
This weekend I worked on the radiator support, new mounts for the electric fan and AC condensor. I'll be adding pics of the reasons why in a few minutes.

Much as I would prefer to make some smart-assed comment, I gotta admit - It looks pretty good!

AX,
Thanks for getting us the pics of the infamous MDD. I'm impressed! What an original and great way to clean up the firewall.

Nicely done

Bobby

Ax, it looks good.

To bad it hits that darn rib on the firewall. Nothing you can do about that thou.

I may put a thin foam gasket under it to take up the difference. The rib isn't as high on my truck since I left a flange of the old firewall and put the smoothing plate on top. It's < 1/8".
