That is an awesome job. I will probably end up building a cabinet to house the AC and vent to an outside window like that. I just hope my light fixture isn't in the way...

Re: Lets start planning a gathering for 2008!

I don't know, diesel this morning was $3.39 a gallon. It almost broke the bank filling up the car. I can't wait til I have to fuel up the bus again.

Re: 8.2L Detroit Deisel.

I wish I had a turbo-charged one. Does anyone know if the turbo can be purchased and added to a non-turbo one?
