Just a minor update, back working and have been for the last year as a temp them got hired full time last June. Van work is slowly progressing. Set up Fuel tank for dual hangers for the twin Aeromotive Stealth 340 pumps (1 on each hangar but setting it up so each hangar could potentially hold...
Still working on it
My work situation has been pretty bad over the last year, so she is still waiting on me to get more done. She will get finished eventually though, promise! Thankfully i bought most of the parts when i had money lol
Interior is currently gutted! and the colors I do like, Blazing Copper on top and Sandstone Metallic on bottom. She was originally "Tigerlilly Metallic" and the copper is homage to that. Grew up with her that color so it will stay! :) Once I get the 5 point roll bar in place and cleaned up and...
I already have K1 connecting rods, billet main caps and will order pistons when I get the engine apart and get exact measurements. :) I've done my homework! lol
I can fit 12" wide rubber under the rear (that's what's on her now for street tires) so I think I'll still fit something nice instead of the old 9" slicks and ought to be good without tubbing her any. :) My brother has this crazy idea of computer traction control and 10's on street tires...

SHO - I still have the rear axle and the guy that has dibs on it has been having a tough time coming up with any cash for it, but I'm still working with him on it. If he decides to give up on it, I'll let you know. I have no more suspension parts, no steering, nothing else up front, the truck...
