Thanks! I built it to be a nice running docile power plant. Other than rather poor fuel economy (around 10 mpg) I have no complaints. I only have about 800 miles on it now - so it will be getting better..
I bought the car as a roller in 2007 and itās been a chore/struggle at times, but mostly a good build. Now that my new shop is nearing completion, I might be able to finish it in the next 20 years! š¤£
only a few hundred pics or so - LOL. Maybe thereās another forum on here where I could post up more.
Bugsy was originally found in a field in Montana with a tree growing up through the middle of it and has been a project ever since. I built a 10.5:1 compression 331 (stroked and poked 302) Ford...

Donāt understand the issue with covering license plates - we donāt cover them while driving and theyāre seen by thousands and recorded by flock cams an redlight cams everywhereā¦
Do a search - they both exist. Just not mainstream at this point..

Thanks for posting though - it does have other things like fluid capacities / type, that should be helpful..
I misunderstood the context and innuendo of the other guyās post and his follow-up was rather dickishā¦. So thank you.
Iām an engineer (now retired) - so I do understand that fast-charging any battery, Lithium or otherwise is not healthy for them. Deep discharges are also harmful. Which is why I...
When Ford comes out with a PHEV Maverick, I will immediately put in my order.
I love EV, but donāt love the fact that I need to be on a virtual tether to the charging stations and long charge cycles. Even if a full charge only takes 20mins, Iām not a playerā¦. Bring on the Super Capacitor / solid...
We live in Texas And spend a couple winter months in Arizona. The heat and UV in these places will turn vinyl into something resembling a colored potato chip and it dries out leather to the point of cracking in just a few years.

Impressive.
I do have a feeling though - that your lack of really good traction is the only thing thatās saving your transmission and differentialsā¦. Think of them as the fuse that blows before the wiring smokes.

Very nicely done truck!

Thanks guys. I would have thought they wouldāve suggested these types and methods of sealing and included it in the instructions. As a retired engineer, I tend to over-analyze things and over-engineer solutions. I thought, in this case, with the MX4 being the third generation of BakFlip covers...
