That's a sweet enclosure! Now tell me about that '70-'72 Cutlass convertible I see sitting next to the tractor. :thumbsup:

EXCELLENT JOB!

Where did you purchase your wiper assembly from? I need one for my cab.

I wonder if some mass loaded vinyl in the right locations would be able to quiet the HST. I used this on my recording studio and it is often used in vehicles to quiet the road noise. If that seems like an option let me konw and I will hook you up with where I got mine.

I will do the sound deadening as i go. for now its ok. no sound resonance, just loud because hst is enclosed. acoustic vinyl would def help that. will keep in mind for sure. thanks

I currently own an '85 442, love the '70-'72 GM A- body cars! I'm president of a charitable car club and I have owned a bunch of performance cars. A lot of them when they were too new to be classics!

You should restore that thing and enjoy it.
