  1. Lookin' good,Vinman!!
  2. I like the LOG for the snorkel on the air cleaner,WOW! Looks like someone else heard about this guy from upstate N.Y. that is cornering the market on U models (tryin' to make a fast buck)!!
  3. I'm for beatin' the hell out of the Volvos!
  4. Probably very useful to them as a barrier/sign truck.
  5. Mine was a copper color.From the brochures,it looked to be the correct color for the '79 anyway.
  6. I like the grab handle.The early DMM's used it.Kind of a rare item.
  7. The scoops started showing up around '73-'74 when the first 300 Series Maxidynes came out.I want to say it was '77 or so when they combined the 2 filters into the 2 -stage air cleaner (U.S. production). I had a '79 R612ST (Canadian production) that had the scoop for the tip-turbine filter.As they were using a single stage air cleaner yet,with an air-operated "foul weather" under hood intake valve to keep snow and rain out of the air cleaner(like the old cable-operated set-ups in the R's).I elimated the piping and that filter, for the 2-stage set-up.I have some pictures of the "engine room" that the previous owner had sent me.(showing the original set-up air cleaner)I will look for them.I see some guys are using a K & N style filter now for the tip turbine.It's not original,but it gets the job done!
  8. IMRON will not wear off-7 years and no problems! And by the way, nice work Vinny & Papa!
  9. Looks great except for that hood (UGGGHH) .There are plenty of good used CH and Vision hoods available.WHY VOLVO? (TOO MANY COLD ONES!)
  10. Yet another piece of AMERICAN inguinety on display! If they don't sell one,we'll make one! That is cool,Vinny! Hats off to Doug for coming up with the idea (& for saving it for the U Modelnut)!
  11. Different.....but cool!! Lets see the "Trick My Junk" boys build something like that!
  12. Wow!! 67 of 'em built with the 205 hp., turboed 673!
  13. No kiddin',Jim! Why go anywhere else?
  14. Been along time since I've seen Planes,Trains,& Automobiles,Rob.I think your right!

  16. ..............THATS NOT A PILLOW!!........................
