Well it took a few days but the first mods for the season are done under the hood.

Hydro Dipped Carbon fiber reservoirs.

Radiator
Windshield washer
Brake Fluid

Then installed Dipped top Hard hose.
Then pulled Battery box (what a PITA) Painted it, Painted Battery, Installed new Billet Optima Battery Enclosure........... Pics attached.

Left to do - New cables, New Battery cable ends, All new stainless header bolts. Then move to outside the truck.

Dang that's some freeky dip. Reminds me of the scary stat screen you'd get to when you beat a level in Doom 2.
