I really like it. Really nailed the “modernized f&f” vibe they were going for. The wing is stupid, but I love the rest even if some of the choices don’t match my own. It’s been a major inspiration.
That's a shame. I really hoped that BOV would get some revisions and be a good way to get that throwback, period-correct sound for all of us restoring DSMs right now. I had an NGR on my 1G back in 2011(?) and had the same problems those above are experiencing.I guess I'll stick to this...
Love your car my friend. I can't justify those wheels, but I think I'm gonna get the Avid look-alikes now just based on how awesome those look! Keep up the good work. This thread's been motivating!
Back then, DSMs were my source of daily transportation. One of them HAD to run, haha. The best part was the hoist getting stuck in the gravel and having to use an atv to push it into place. Blissful memories.
Inspired by another build thread, I'd like to pin some goals in a public space so I can better hold myself on track.Current GoalsDefeat strut tower rust
New paint
New wheels
Finish 2g head build by 1/1/22
Finish long block assembly 2/1/22
First startup 4/1/22

Time to get to work. I’ve collected all the bits and pieces and have begun the arduous journey of cleaning, testing, and cataloging. Up first are about 3 quart containers of nuts and bolts. (The tuning fork is just to show how good this stuff works)
Reviving this from the dead just to say, @kidtsi your setup looks amazing and you've inspired me to get 255s on this thing. I don't expect much since you were last active in 2015, but any long term retrospectives you can give?
