I'm already thinking about pulling all the interior trim cause it buzzes loudly when my exhaust resonates.
My Comanche never rattled besides the window crank stuff a little

My interior is in rough shape. It was the PO's work truck for his house painting business, and he treated it like a work truck. As for the audio, if I bought an amp and sub, I'd also amp new B-pillar speakers. I buy quality stuff if I'm gonna invest in audio.

Well on topic, yesterday I filled my tank (yay!) and got pulled over for 80 in a 55. I guess my speedo is farther off than I thought cause it didn't show me going quite that fast
Officer was cool, though. Said he'd never written a warning for 25 over, and he told me to go home before he changed his mind

Got pulled last year for 76 in 55. Got a ticket. State trooper so he wasn't about to let me go.

My chart for how fast I go. Left number is speed limit, right is how fast I go.
25-30
35-45
45-53
55-60
65-75 or 80 if I'm in a hurry.

I've been ticketed for less, but my gauge really is off more than I thought. Or his gun was off.. Either way, I wasn't about to argue with him. I just apologized and said I'd adapt my driving until I can get it accurate.

Forgot to grab a pic tonight, got the passenger floor pan all welded in and got the stupid seat brace/crossmember installed. It's super ghetto: too lazy to make a new one, so on the ultra rusty side where the metal was too thin to weld to, I sandwiched it with sheet metal and held it together with stainless hardware
