Well most of the bug's are out .Hearing the gear drive and exhaust, air compressors and such is cool some beat's would be good. So still this is a budget build and no polished billet ride. Fabbed up some spacers to fit Stillwater Kicker speaker's on to door rib's.SSL audio deck installed is the start.

Installed trique mfg. altman latch kit and massaged a few part's and the striker plate.The door's have become effortless in latching, locking and releasing. One of most rewarding change's I have made.I can shut and latch the door with just a light push..

I felt when rolling the window up and down on left side at time's a slight bind. The Atman latch is tight in the door and the window regulator just slighly caught on a bolt. I had to trim a bit off end of window regulator.

The left door Altman latch also did not go to the neutral latching position each time.The latch has a lever and it hard to see in this picture but one of the mounting plate screws was pressing against the movement and not allowing the latch to relax.Also had to trim the screws to allow no interference,

An upgrade on Accuair I suggest is toss the relay's provided. Both died in a short time period for the compressor's .Upgrade maybe with a better relay here is a Cole Hersee # in the pict's to use.

over a harsh bump's and rough road's there was a rattle in the steering column. The Bull has has no rag joint in the column now, what I found was just the inner fender liner (wheel tub) would bounce or flex and hit the steering shaft.

Got an MSD 6A black to install. This kinda step's out of the budget build thought . It could live without it though will run stronger.

MSD what a difference .The Bull drink's thru a Barry Grant Street Demon they like to run fat (rich) a bit.The MSD box cleaned up idle and performance is even better.
