The first thing I see is the bolt tight on the curved bracket to the alt? It looks loose in that last pic. Is the bracket tight behind the motor pulley? Also what about the lower mount ? Mine wallowed out so bad I had to drill it out and put sleeves in it. Russ

This is what I put on my std Ford xflow drain pan: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLGGGXXF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

Interesting bikini top, Xhilr8n. Did you have it made or make it yourself. I've never seen one quite like that. Russ

I was filling up my Locost at a gas station one day and a guy came up behind me and said "I bet you get good gas mileage in that thing?". I said , without looking up, "Not the way I drive". I then turned around and it was a cop!!!!! Russ

Oops

Looks like a snowmobile trailer to me. Russ

Thanks. Nope. Had to rework the old one.

Anybody got one sitting around? Mine just came off in 3 pieces. I've already welded it up twice. Or know where to find one. Ford # 721f-10145-aa. Russ

I rarely take my bonnet off. As for kids I always let them sit in it. But I make sure the main kill switch is turned off and taken out. One of my favorite tricks is when a parent asks if their child can sit in my car I say"SURE". Then as they are starting to get in I say"it's not mine". Then I have a big laugh. TeeHee. Russ

There ought to be a law!!!!!!

I'm shocked at this but not surprised. Skip and I were good friends. He came to the first Midwest Se7ens Gathering back in 2008 in KC. My wife and I have stayed at his house. He had one hell of a garage workshop. We had one of his infamous canyon drives with his buddies and me with my 1300cc Xflow powered Locost holding up the pack. I will miss his funny emails and sending ones back to him. He took my wife for a ride in his C8 and scared her to death a few years ago. RIP old friend, Russ
