Indeed, I actually spent some time organizing T84 parts.  The long awaited video is indeed on the way.  I am going to post some Sasquatch footage too😂

As for fenders, I 100% like the approach.  Most of the time, they suffer from rusted out hat channels or the sheet metal underneath.  The MD Juan repro hat channels don't fit correctly and always require extensive modification - Debella/SGI ones appear to be made correctly (I have not actually installed one yet, but have a set). If you are replacing the hat channels, definitely mock up before you really get after the welding...slight misalignment means major fitment issues....I have made this mistake before. Most of the time, holes in the fenders themselves can be patched....just depends on how bad they are....

Fair enough Howard - all feedback is always appreciated! 

"Passenger side"....reverse image, special photography😂  yep...its a driver side!   Thanks as always for the kind words Jay.  Indeed, my better half and I will be at Oshkosh.  I have been asked to do a talk on books everyone should own....not sure what the schedule is exactly, but there will be a seminar of sorts.  Always fun to go these events and chat with everyone.  Plus...its in Oskhosh at the EAA...doesn't get any better than that!  Look forward to seeing you!

Thanks Nick!  Loving the seats on Murph - they are top notch my friend. 

Thanks Robert!  I am aware of Muggy...have not tried it...but it is on the list.  I have a good friend who is a PE/metallurgist and spent his entire lifetime casting...first at John Deere...then with his own company setting up casting lines all over the world.  I chatted with him briefly on Friday and have a followup call next week.  These are "problems that have been solved" - he promised a full download on the metallurgy etc.  I will share what I learn, probably in a special video so it doesn't just get buried.  As you know, repairs like the throttle are very satisfying - one part puzzle and one part craftsmanship. As an aside, it turns out that there may be a source for NOS throttle cables.  I ended up purchasing the components to make some, although I may end up installing an NOS one in the T24.  I have a call in - will let you know what I find.

Cheers, Patrick

Thank you Jay.  Your comments always put a smile on my face. 

Appreciate it Pierre!  I ran around at a show this weekend a bunch....the console is a huge upgrade...a place to chunk phone, etc....more soon.

That is great - they came out fantastic Tim. 

Thank for the kind works Mark and for supporting our efforts here.  It does indeed feel good to share and try to preserve some of these skill sets and hard learned lessons.  Feels like we are all so busy "moving forward" that we love to forget the really important lessons we learned "the last time around". 

On the subject of sharing, I was watching a pretty goofy movie last night about a writer and he was lamenting about "knowing" when what he had to say was "good enough" to share.  His "mentor" told him something to the effect of just "trust your instincts".  Inadvertently, the movie theme tied back into my feedback request this week....I let it rip every week with the hope that everyone gets a little entertainment, picks up some little trick or lesson and hopefully gets a 30 minute respite from the problems of their world watching us deal with the problems of ours. I am very grateful that people get something out of these efforts.

Regards, Patrick

Scot Slovene!  One part lover and one part fighter!  I bet those conversations are something😂 

As always, appreciate your encouragement.  I love the manual comment - "show me" is outstanding!  I intend to borrow that for sure!

Thank you for your comments - appreciate the support and the wit - always puts a smile on my face.

Regards, Patrick
