Great picture, love the project!

Those are the only issues that have haunted me. I've learned what to keep on hand and what to maintain frequently

Sometimes the hard way, is the best way to learn.

Unless I misunderstand you, your wrong. Every PW had a badge. My 72 W-100 had them on either side of the hood.

No it did not. I have owned a 72 100 for 25 years, it has what some call the bird bath hood and Power Wagon is on either side of the hood. 100 is on the fenders.

Do you have room for an airbox, or even a filter for that matter?

Beautiful job! Your truck is going to be something else! When is the first test drive?

I've got room for a 10" long Filter. I have one on order just waiting for it to come in.

First drive should be this week sometime.

It's held up with a piece of 1" square stock. I think you can see it in the video. It's pretty stout.

Loose the stack, and that would be a great sleeper at the track!
