it's looking great. It'll be almost a shame to have to get it all muddy again. Haha

Thanks, all the fun of building it is seeing how it performs, would be a shame not to put it in the mud...
Don't feel like I accomplished a lot tonight, started going back together with the trans and found I needed a few more thicker steels to get the tolerances I wanted in forward and direct. So will hopefully pick them up tomorrow at Wit Trans.
So I switched modes and made the support bracket for the fuel cell and figured out placements for the fuel cell, fuel pumps and battery box. Got them washed down with the por 15 cleaner and rinsed. Hopefully get them sprayed with the metal prep in the morning if I remember to do it before I leave for work.
I have been able to tick off quite a few things on my to do list...

Today was a day of running errands at lunch and after work. Had to pickup another quart of por15 at the paint store, steels at the trans supply shop and the aluminum pieces I ordered at alro steel. That was lunch. After work, delivered some roasts and eggs and picked up a couple of small pieces of strap steel to make the support bands for the fuel cell out of, picked up more bulk bolts at TSC as well as dog food. By the time I took care of the animals and ate supper it was 7pm.
Got out to the shop and painted the 3 pieces I had ready and then got the clutches setup and clearances checked, played with thick and thin steels till I got it where I wanted it and then got the main section of the trans together. Need to get the VB and OD unit on it and it will be ready to put back into the truck.

It's always a good feeling to be going back together. There needs to be about 12hrs more in a day huh?

Thanks
Didn't have much time tonight to work on the truck, had to consolidate my clutter in there to move 4 vehicles in before the storm hit tonight.
Did manage to work out mounting on one side of the radiator, seems pretty stable. Guess I will see how stable come race season. With all the vehicles in the shop, wasn't going to try and dig out the 4" x 2" aluminum angle and try to cut a piece off of it.

Thanks, muddinfool
Been working on the truck when I can over the week, but works been kicking my ass with issues and things to do around the farm and other commitments.
I was able to finish getting the radiator mounted onto the truck and think it will work real well, but time will tell how sturdy the mounts are. Since it was mounted and my order of silicone parts arrived, I was able to really start laying out and figuring out the path for my water lines up to the engine. Found that I was short a few things and so placed an order for those items. They will be here monday.
Put together a 20" x 30" collage picture of the truck in action to take with me to car shows when we go and had it printed. Think it looks pretty cool.
Cleaned up the inside frame rails under the cab and the cross member for the trans and got those painted last night. Made a brace out of a piece of 2" x 4" aluminum angle for the front part of the bed to give it some support if I have to step into the bed at some point to hook up a tow cable.
Hooked up the first part of the fuel lines from the injection pump to the check valves and ran the lines from the fuel cell to the fuel pumps.
I also finished up the graphics work on the hero cards we print up and hand out at races with pictures of my truck and sponsors on the back of the card.
Today I picked up a load of treated lumber to put my son to work building more raised beds for the garden. Got enough to build 5 boxes, 16' long x 4' wide and 2' tall.
Need to rent a dump trailer next weekend to haul some manure filled dirt to fill them.

Worked on the fuel lines today and got the fuel system fully plumbed up to the engine. Also made a condom for the fuel pumps to help keep mud from coming up into the bed. Won't stop all of it, but it will help some. Made a new plate for my cutoff switch and then got it mounted to the bed. Need to finish drilling holes in the bed to get the battery cables up through the bed. Also got the diffs filled up with some synthetic 75w90 weight oil.
Just a few feet of hose
Template and condom
Pump Condom installed
Shutoff plate
Fuel lines

Looking very nice! Sorry to hear about the calf. Hopefully you don't end up with too much of that.

What Energy Bar
I was wandering what hot spring you frequent or energy bar you eat. It just astounds me how you continue to produce with such vigor and stamina. I've been getting up at 4:00 A.M. and going to bed at 8:00 P.M. It takes at least 1.5hrs in the day to take care of animals and go to the bathroom. No way I could hang with ya.

x2!
Wake up at 5am, to bed by 10-10:30pm. 8-10 hrs of work with a one hour drive on each side, then go home, spend some family time, then work on things. I feel like I'd need another 8 hours in the day to get done what he gets done!

lol, I'm actually limiting calorie intake to 1600 calories a day or trying to atleast, want to drop another 60lbs and get down to 200lbs. Lost about 10 of those lbs so far. I get up about 6am or so and overslept this morning till 6:45, I don't have a set work time at work, but when I go into the office (50 minute drive), I get there usually between 7 and 7:30 unless I wake up on my own earlier which I do at times, if no driving then I brew a pot of coffee at the house and start working after a few sips of go juice. Usually work my day job till 4pm and leave Tulsa so I miss rush hour. If I'm home, and it's a night my wife works, I quit at 3:30 and spend some time with her while she's getting around to head to work. So the nights my wife works, I can do pretty much whatever I need to till I'm too tired to do it any more and then crash. I normally fall asleep around midnight.
Kids are all adults now and have jobs and go to college, etc... I made it mandatory for them all to be here Saturday though, we have a lot of crap filled dirt to move. Soaker hose zones to setup and establish, mulch to put down.... plants started and put into the little green house.
I don't like sitting still, never have. I can't just sit in front of the TV and do nothing. I'm always on the puter researching or doing something on it or reading a book or on my phone doing something. Used to drive my wife nuts, but I think she's finally gotten used to it. Worst times for me was the 8 years I lived out in South Carolina in town in a rental house... bored out of my gord till I hauled my 69 camero out there and started dismantling it and sand blasting it in my little 2 car garage and coating it in epoxy primer or building stuff with the little 110 mig I bought. Still remember using my sawsall and about 100 blades cutting 3/8" plate steel for my workbench top. That kept me busy for a while cutting a 4x8 piece down to 3x6.
I always have projects lined up a mile long to do out at the house and I'm trying to get the american legion post I'm a member of website built for them. Also have 2 other people that want me to build and host websites for them... I need to clone myself.
My son and I made a new tool last night, needs a little fine tuning but think it will work till I can get me a real bead roller one of these days. Should be able to get a workable bead around all that aluminum tubing so the clamps don't slip off.
