I didn't know there were any more hydraulic hold-outs.

1) When I redesigned my hydraulic door system, I went to the library to try 
and find the original supplier of the pump/motor/reservoir unit. Through 
the Thomas Register, I found a company called Hypac.  They have a model 
that looks exactly like the original, except with 3 mount points instead of 
4. It also has a relief valve that returns to the reservoir when a certain 
pressure limit is reached. I bought two units and fit them both on the 
original mounting plate. They even made custom lines for me. I routed them 
through the floor to be neater. Originally, they came out a hole cut in the 
corner of the cover of the eqpt well.

Hypac Inc.  (606) 849-2447       item #2101194  12VDC  3/4GPM  25cu.in.

3) As for the window, there is no 'track' that the window sits in. It is 
glued to a horizontal brace. I welded a gutter to this brace to better hold 
the window and then reglued it. Window slippage is a common problem to 
Bricks that haven't been reglued or modified by welding.

I've seen others give you some responses on the dash gauges and the emerg. 
brake boot.

As for Microsoft Certification: If you know so much about MS products, why 
don't you try to get your prospective employer to pay for the tests. They 
are $100 per test and you could ask them to reimburse you for passed tests 
only. The Solutions Developer track is 4 tests and the Systems Engineer is 
6 tests. See http://www.microsoft.com/Train_Cert for info on the different 
testing tracks. Certification is rightfully highly regarded by employers as 
is any gauge of education, such as college degrees. The tests are 
performance-based and the Solution Developer and Systems Engineer tracks 
have their own core requirement tests and elective tests designed to 
measure their respective disciplines. That 'piece of paper' has definite 
meaning to employers and they are more apt to return to you other 'pieces 
of paper', notably green, which are also highly desirable.
