Thank you! Next step, buy a warehouse to start storing my toys. Downside is that the warehouses around here I've checked out start around $5k/mo. I'll pull the trigger one of these days.

I think that's something we can all relate to. I see you're in LA, I am in the LA area too, so I feel you on the cost of storing project vehicles. I've been looking at the Inland Empire to see if I can find anything there, but even that is starting to get up there in pricing.

Oh hey there! I split my time between Hollywood/Silverlake and Orange County. I've actually been storing everything in Idaho, paying $200/mo for a 50x50' indoor heated room with roll up doors now. When I want to work on them I just borrow a loaner from buddies who work at auto manufacturers around here and make the drive. The F4 is going to be relocated down here in September, G8T maybe June 2018.


My company is moving into a 5000 sq ft warehouse in downtown LA so I'll probably move the trucks in there at some point.

I find the instrument holes interesting. That is definitely not the civilian setup. Thanks for the pictures.

The G8T didn't use the rectangular gauge cluster, they had individual gauges mounted in the dash.

The gages would be the standard gages that were used all nearly all WWII vehicles. They can be sourced from any WWII Vehicle supply house.

First step is to drag that G series V8 home and get it running. Then I can blast the body with crushed glass and get it looking proper.

Just a minor note: the G series is the inline six cylinder motor Ford produced from late 1941 to 1947. The G series is not a V8, but it is a good motor.

And that's what happens when you work 100 hours a week and sleep just a few. Thanks for the correction.
