I work at an autoparts store, we get our pick of "last month" free mags when the new issues come. My one manager is a complete A-hole about "reading mags" even after we are closed. I thought "fine, i'll just wait until it goes off the shelf" but by then, it was sold out! (every other issue of other mags were there, but not this one, aarrrggghh! I called my other two stores--sold out too. could you post the article on here? that would be cool!

Is that a complete 4L80e under there? I need a towel to stem the bleeding.....
I'm just kidding, your truck looks incredible, and if you used Bowler, you cannot go wrong.

I was interested, the article states you already had the trans done by Mark though. That's pretty concrete. I'm not gonna get in the middle of that if you've already got something in the works.

Some say better late then never.

I have a bunch of updates to do so i will post them individually

Dave had to reroute one of the air intake tubes to get around the new inner fender.

2006_12_26_008.jpg


We finally made the new lower column mount.

2006_12_27_041.jpg


Kevin mounted the Power Steering Tank from Billet Specialties

2006_12_27_042.jpg


It was hard but we finally found a location for the a/c drier.
See if you can guess where it's mounted.

2006_12_27_043.jpg


Dave also mounted the hood pin in the core support.
Ron & I are working on the Skuff plate for the hood.
Pics very soon I promise.

2006_12_27_044.jpg


Normally I would say something like more to come next week.
But since I am already 2 weeks behind.

Well someone took the body off my truck.

No actually Dave & Kevin removed it so they could plumb the brake lines.

Dave ran all the brake lines while the body was off.

This way they could keep everything tight to the frame.

2006_12_29_026.jpg


Man I can't wait till the frame is painted.

2006_12_29_027.jpg


Brake line running over the rear hoop.

2006_12_29_028.jpg


T-Fitting to get the Drivers Side rear Brake.

2006_12_29_029.jpg


Quick Shot of the brake line following the frame.

2006_12_29_030.jpg


This is where the brake line terminates on the frame.

2006_12_29_031.jpg

Really, I had to take picture of the motor while it was out of the truck.

Dave and I worked on a design for the Turbo Support Brackets.
It will follow the same theme as the Billet Specialties Brackets

2007_01_04_006.jpg


Kevin Boxed in the motor mounts.
Yes, there is a drain hole in the back just in case they get wet.

2007_01_04_008.jpg


Dave also finished the brake lines in the front.

2007_01_04_009.jpg


Side shot.

2007_01_04_010.jpg


Harness Bar is welded.
Looks like it's getting really close to coming home to my shop.

2007_01_04_011.jpg


What more brake line pics.

2007_01_04_013.jpg


Just another one of those really expensive t-fittings.

2007_01_04_014.jpg


Radiator cover.
Trying to stick with the keep it simple theme.

Well, It's hard to believe.

I dropped the truck off at Comp Fab in March of 2005 and it's finally coming home.

This will be the last pictures of the truck at Dave's for some time.
