Forgot to include said intake:
Divisive interior aside, Tuthill looks to be making some extremely interesting vehicles. Their 911-K has some amazing design touches and apparently drives like a Greyhound on doped blood.
A vehicle where you can watch the fuel gauge drop like a reverse tach.
I love mine.
I have been saved by channel locks several times. They’re great.
Literally this. Shove the thing off the dock with a broomstick.
Roleen, Roleen, Roleen, Rooooleeeeeeen

Rizzly dizzle me, aquatizally.

Not a hydrogen bomb, that’s a C4 bomb with hydrogen in the middle of it. Still, that’s wild.
*Arctic Surplus Salvage, not Arctic Surplus Surplus Salvage. I surplused too many times; apologies for the spurious surplusage.
Not really practical to fully restore it, unfortunately.

I really love Calum’s videos, and it’s always nice to see the LeTourneaus getting attention. They were really interesting pieces of machinery. Also great that he made it up to AK; we have snacks and everything!
Purchase price and lack of heated garage in a cold climate, which will impact battery charge state and conditioning.
I want a mode that just makes Zoidberg “woop-woop-woop-woop!” noises.
