I’ll never understand rebuilding old shit. When you can buy something that is ready to make money out of the gate. New or used.
Unless you’re in the flipping old shit business.

Nate your getting after it. Can't wait to see how Juan turns out for you.

I should of bought a Bobnew Genie years ago. Too late now
And I was selling them for 10K
Yor all smucks.....
CHRIS Lee's machine STILL looks
Jus like new.....or better!

I did put it back together, it actually works too......:rockon: If I use it is another story..

YOU said you gave me all the parts youz had left......!:cry: I'll take 2 or I can just run the tape, doesn't bother me......:shifty:

After trying to clean the 4 blower filters, only Juan of them actually look decent and not plugged up.. I let it soak in degreaser over-night and pressure washed them after..

I also took a floor scraper to scrape all the crud and sh!t stuck to the sides of the tank.. There's about $5 in coins stuck to the bottom of the waste tank, I probably need a chisel to remove it.. Damn inside of the tank looks better than you for it's age!
Yoi do know that you spray from the inside out and NEVER NEVER scrape wit anything

When we almost bought one. He sent me pictures detailing the rebuild. Along with those posted here you could see he went to extremes to make it as good as new.

As far as operating Chris Lee validated they ran great. I should have bought one if only has a backup unit.

I used to think Bawb did a good job until I saw this guy

Was he selling Frankenstein's or just for himself.

To me what was so impressive about Bawbs was they were rebuilt so detailed as if he were keeping each one.

@Dwain Ray Is almost as old as Bawbby, they take pride in their work.. I do like the Cleanco coolant and blower HX mods he did.. Keeps it stream line..

Makes me wonder if the hose reel on the waste tank is to rinse it out after?

She's a beaut, DR!

Your relocating the alternator to the left of the drive shaft? I have a 2003 4.8l.. My best friend/fabricator broke the news to me that he's moving to Las Vegas.. Sold his mill machine & lathe, and other tools..

Our other mutual friend is a Chevy nut.. He's down to help me get it going.. I care more about making sure the drive shaft is properly alined and I can do the rest behind it.. I know what I know and know my limitations..

It looks like there is no room for the drivers seat.
