I was thinking the same thing - or remove the springs and add some coils... I think I know what Version III might look like...
I guess you were trying to use up your scrap tube?

The office sucks - I wanna go wheeling!
Kept working on it up until Sunday when I came back to CS. Haven't taken any recent pics but much progress has been made.
Reran the fuel and brake lines using the rubberized metal hanger clamps, looks much better. Did a little pre-startup tuning on the motor gapping plugs, checking rockers, plug wire order, timing, etc. Installed radiator hoses and belts, replaced the power steering pump, bled the brakes, and added all the fluids.
Dad got his degree in electrical engineering so I enlisted his help for the wiring project which in turn he took over in full force... It's been pretty awesome just letting him do it his way and go all-out. Couldn't decide on how he wanted to go about the project and ended up with 5 Jegs boxes full of assortmented switch panels, harnesses, wiring, relays, etc... We went through all the possible setups and came to a final decision (should be a fun return order for the unused stuff). He finished up the wiring diagram the other night and we started working on it.

Not half, not some, but all my cash...
'Cause if she don't,
I'm gonna put my foot in her ass.
The hurricane delayed dad's wiring project but we're starting to make progress. Made the new dash panel out of aluminum, worked on some wiring, and mounted the sliders this weekend.
Finally took some pics of some work I finished up before the semester began.

Progress is starting to pickup again. Finish the wiring and paint are the last things to wrap up...
While looking at winches awhile back I showed dad the warn powerplant. He liked the idea of having a winch with oba for use on projects at home and around the ranch. We decided to get a warn hd powerplant on a multimount, then replace the solenoids on the m12000 and mount it on the BarnBurner.
Some pics of the dash work and electrical dad sent me from this weekend.
