I'm thinking either the Dutra Duals or possibly the Gill Fat-Pipe below them... I'm leaning more toward the Fat-Pipe since it is thinner walled.... I called Lokar but of course you have to leave a message for tech support. They called me back but I was in a bad cell coverage area and call...

Cable failed again tonight coming home from a show after only being installed for 2 months... touched it and it was quite hot... I think the Teflon housing on the Lokar TC-1000U must be melting and then the housing cramps down on the cable... kinda frightening as each time it has failed it...

Hell yeah! Congrats! I had similar in high school with a 72 Swinger in the late 90s... Ended up married with small kids and broke, sold it, and have no clue at this point where the money went then... Tell him NOT to sell it when that time comes- he'll regret it just like all of us who've done...

Thanks! It has been a lot of fun to work through!

Having said that, these particular style of door have a slider lock accessible from the outside that you can hang a padlock on (similar to a self storage unit door), so in theory you don't necessarily have to have a man door to gain access to inside to open them.

I've got a man door and a smaller 6' wide overhead door for the mower in the back wall, which would be the left side in this picture.

Got about 230 miles in this weekend. Went over to the Somerset KY Cruise In. Good fun! Had a great drive there and back and cruised the strip a couple times... Having two myself, I found this pretty humorous... On another note, even though there haven't been many car projects this year...

Got the cable and housing replaced this weekend... it was the housing had collapsed on the bottom side near the Sniper end... made it about 1/2 inch shorter this time to loosen up the bend a bit- hopefully it lasts longer this time... Its back to driving well now!

Thanks! I'll check the kickdown well also...Thats a hefty spring you added!

Yep- it was great fun! Haven't been able to make any of their events this year... Not sure if they are doing Knoxville again this year or not.

Thanks for the confirmation guys... Once I get the new parts in I'll try again...Probably make the housing 1/4 inch or so shorter which should loosen up the bends a bit. Appreciate the feedback.

Hey all - not been a lot going with the car this year as far as mods go... just been driving it here and there... had an issue tonight with a stuck throttle cable - managed to get it unstuck and limped home at idle... Thoughts on this Routing? Been this way for probably 3-4K miles and never had...

Awesome! Went ahead and ordered one. Thanks for the tip!

Enjoy! I watched your 5 slants in 5 days to work video the other day. Good stuff! Didn't realize there was a Swinger in your stable as well.

Cool... Let me know how it works... I currently put my ear down by the Nozzle and try to hear when the fuel starts to come up the fill tube, but don't always succeed.
