    Hydroboost crazy

    Watch out for the boost pumps with the variable orifice valve on them, about 1995 and newer, You can tell them apart, they will have two wires sticking out of the fitting on the back of the pump.

    Mobile House Trailer Frame

    Some fun at the junk yard for small missing parts

    Whenever I can get to a auto salvage, I spend some extra time and grab as many body screws, clips and as much of that real small stuff that cant be got from the hardware store. Nice catch on the ashtray, lighter and PB pad.
