For sure!

Except no, EFI doesn't pissaway a coupla gallons every cold start. It just ain't. No way bucko. Nuh uh. Where did you come up with that?

I've heated diesel tanks with shallow pans filled with hot coals from the woodstove. Oh yeah, good times! not.

ANd I too need to copy XP or Vista or 7 or ? onto my old tower which just might have enough brains to handle it. ME and 98 are just too obsolete and they do sit there crunching numbers dumb.

Pondering urethane... weigh or estimate the weight of you soobyglass then weigh or estimate the weight of the plastic replacement... I've done it... weight savings weren't fantastic and fe impact for all practical purposes nil although if you're going after every last pound then OK... better dump before every trip!!! but realize you will no longer be able to scrape your windows when they frost up. That was one factor that kept me from doing it. Oh and the weight savings will NOT be enough to counteract all your welding and painting, I gurantee it!
