Whats even funnier is i have roughly 50$ tied up in the table. Everything besides the glass, timing chain cover, and the paint was given to me. Thats why it has taken so long to get it to where it is. All i really lack for me to consider it "complete" is exhaust manifolds, or shorty's, and id like to get a fuel rail with injectors.

I kinda figured he was still alive. lol I haven't been able to get a hold of him since he started that job. Did he get a new phone #?

Truck is great. Runs like a champ. I made a new old gauge cluster for it and painted some of the front end pieces but other than that I just drive the crap out of it.

Started painting the headlight pieces. Have two coats on one side. Hopefully tomorrow they will be dry enough to flip over. Takes forever to dry in the sun, even longer with this cool weather. Put a coat on the master cylinder and 1-5/8" tubing. Cant really tell in the pics but its alot shinier in person.

I like how he was able to machine mine to help suck in my front wheels. He is only swamped because its hard to find someone to do good work that is not a flake. I am thinking of getting a second set from you with vented rotors as a spare set.

Still no trans, so I made these side pieces for my dash. Will drill/tap the rest of the holes once I borrow my dads right angle drill.

Image
Image

I knelt down to take a pic of my front end and my dog thought i was taking his pic so he sat there for me :lol:
Image

Had the door open yesterday and I look around for the dog and hes sitting up in the pass. side. He's just as anxious as me to go for a ride again.
