I just wrapped this one up. A resto of an old Dynaco ST-70 amplifier. I stripped it down, powder coated the chassis, did a full rewire, replaced all caps and resistors, and installed new tubes.

This is a project of sorts. It’s a piece of equipment that has been in use since 1983 and it’s the MD-80 commercial airliner. A later version of the original DC-9 which dates to mid 60s.

Excellent but as with everything you reach a point where things become obsolete. They could go on for years longer if we kept fixing them but newer technology is coming on line now. The Airbus 321 and the Boeing 737 max and the RJs.

At one time just a few years ago we had over 300 of theses babies but this is last one. These old MD-80s made us a ton of money over the decades. Sad to see them go, just as we bid farewell to 727s,757s,767s,DC-10s,F-100s life goes on. Thousands of people attended this going away farewell shindig. So after this they are flown to Roswell New Mexico for storage, parts removal and or demolition/scrap. Goodbye old friend.

Here’s a view public never sees. This is a maintenance back door or could be used in an emergency

As seen from the other side the back door.

That’s me sitting in pilots seat saying goodbye to my old friend.

Small project here change the hood on a 2006 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner because of hail damage and paint degradation. Called a local salvage yard and located a suitable replacement and upgraded to the sport model with phony hood scoop easy enough these things are still plentiful. I probably could have waited for one in the correct color too I don’t mind repainting this dark blue example that shipped all the way from Dallas.

What seems really impressive to me is the way this part fits, even though it came from another vehicle it lines up perfectly. Just four small bolts and the hose for windshield washer nozzles. The gap between fender and hood is minimal and uniform, the only real adjustment is the height in front which is controlled by adjustment of two rubber bumpers. Fit and finish is great thanks Toyota. I also included some VW content here, that’s my original 1977 homebuilt sandrail/buggy built by a local guru owner of a salvage yard.

Lay down a carbon fiber wrap on that hood and you are done!

No repainting needed and instant +25hp.
