Ha, loving the Rangie Steering wheel and e-brake.

It was the fastest and easiest way to build.
Thanks

Still loving the Hybrid, drive it most every day. I try to make improvements every now and then, slow but steady. The best is passing in the left lane at 80-85!
Good luck getting yours going.
Good hearing from you,
Paul

Same here Paul. Yeah I want to put a R380 in there eventually, but it isnt in the cards right now. I really just want to keep it together long enough to enjoy it. I havent finished the trans yet as I blew the front pinion bearings driving it around testing it the other day. So now the diff is out as well! Luckily it didnt hurt my 4.1 gears or locker. I ended up changing the valve body in the trans and I got my diff parts in this week so hopefully this weekend it will be up and running again, and shifting into 4th! If not I got a free trans to throw in there, free is good!
80mph is awesome. I cant get mine much over 65 or the SuperSwamper Bias Ply tires beat me to death!! Talk to you soon. Gordo

Hi Gordo,
Good to hear from you again.
You've got to figure out a way to keep your beast on the road for more than a few days! It has to be killing you! So you kept the series diffs for the gearing? My truck goes fast because I kept the RR gears, I drive it every weekday so I needed the better mpg.
Went up to Stowe VT. last Saturday for the British invasion, great time, about 600 Brit cars, and a few beautiful Series trucks.
Wishing you a fine running Hybrid,
Talk to you soon,
Paul

thanks Paul the gearing is actually aftermarket from great basin rovers. I know what you mean, Im pretty hard on the ole girl. unfortunately I broke my left arm sunday riding my dirt bike so shes gonna be down a bit longer. I have all the parts though so once I heal it wont be long. cheers gordo

Now that is a lot of brass air fittings there is just about every type
of air fitting that you could want. Wholesale prices too. I guess these could be used as small water pipe fitting also. I
used some of the parts to make my babington wvo bu

Hey Paul, I was wondering what type of paint you used on your frame and how is it holding up ?

my brother and I were making hybrid jokes yesterday, and this makes me think of it! We want to make sitcker's that say "My car runs on battery and engine too, cool dude"
