Looks like you are getting real close Dale.
I've been meaning to call you back BTW, just havent got a break during a normal persons hours.
 
I would have taken her out for a test run but the wife wouldn't let me put the front clip in the backyard.And made a good point to just finnish the AC then drive it.It is going to be 104 thursday and 103 friday.I will have the AC on in the garage cooling it down so I can work.got a better truck at work with AC and a auto.

I finnally got the AC bracket done and mounted.I went and slotted the mounting hole for finer adjustment.Still waiting for other AC parts.getting to be alot to keep clean and polished.

Man that is a clean engine bay. I'm liking the painted injector lines, I always wondered what they'd look like painted.

Awesome work as always!
 
I had them polished but while the truck sat for awhile they started to have rust spots.I just thaut it would brake up all the shiny stuff.Some day I would like to get som braided heater hoses. And get ridd of those greene ones even they look like I used a garden hose.Off of work today going to get some more work done and get help to put the fron clip back on.Only takes 4 pins and 2 wire plugs that is what make it easy to work the truck with the tilt clip.

i knew this build looked familiar :) looks great cant wait to see her on the road :P
 
maybe on sunday afternoon.I have to get some help putting the front clip back on.

Dale
