We all know it's there...anyone that see's the performance will have a clue as to what's there...

and in the inimitable words of Billy Crystal (Fernando Lamas) 'It is much better to look good than to be good'...artistic license applied...

Run the fenders. ;D

Definitely fenders.

Fenders all the way.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I've always been partial to Gibsons, but to each their own.  As they say.

I built the passenger side floor pan but I'm not in love with it yet. I've been ordering parts and collecting them.

Work has gotten in the way.  The shop has been very busy and my ability to not work on Fridays has gone away. So for the last month I've been there 5 days a week 50 to 60 hours.

Right now I'm in the process of planning out how the interior is going to come together. Mainly talking about where switches are going to go and things like that.

Ordered some HID headlights that will be able to mount in the factory headlight pods. Likely will need some adaptation but I can do that.

I finally was able to get paperwork from Vermont so I have an actual title for the thing now. I can take that paperwork and transfer it to an antique plate in Pennsylvania. No inspection needed.

I don't want to do it, but I am likely going to buy a Holley two-piece intake that has an air to water intercooler sandwiched between the two.

It's expensive as hell but will really make a difference for packaging and cut down on a lot of fab time. It will also help mitigate excess intake plumbing. So even though I know I'm probably going to get it, I'm avoiding it because of the cost.

I just need to psych myself up to order it.

One thing I don't have and haven't thought about very much are tail lights. I need some ideas on that.

Maybe tail lights like these?

No fenders to mount them on. There's actually nowhere to mount lights on the back of the truck. I'll have to create something.

Not directly from the back. I'll have to snap one tomorrow
