While I was working on the dash I also got a call that the rest of the parts were painted. Getting close to being on the road.

Grill shell back together.
On the truck it goes. The hard thing was to decide what buckets to use.
Black or crome

I ended up going with the Black it ties it all together better.

Got the bed back and on. It turned out great! The floor wasn't the best but the raptor liner turned out great and helped hide the inperfections in the floor.

Three years from the start almost to the same month I drove it from the shed to the drive for its first bath. What a feeling! I think that it turned out great and hope you all like it.

It turned out awesome! Be careful with that aluminum intercooler tubing and all those junctions and clamps. You will probably have issues blowing boots. And ditch that fram oil filter! Other than that, it looks sweet! I didn't think your wheels would look very nice on there, but they actually look awesome on it!

Thanks Ryan. I agree with you on the wheels it was one of the toughest things to decide on. Tube kit was cheap and yes I think I will have trouble with all the boots but it is holding even with burst of 40 psi. I would like to bend some 3" tube up to get rid of all the joints.(On the list of things to change) The Fram filter is coming off the truck, I will change it, just wanted to run it for the first few miles to get anything that might be left from the build up.

Damn, this thing is awesome. Where did you find that gauge bezel? Im trying to do away with my stock one, but I dont want one of those $100 aluminum ones? Its good to see another one of these trucks on the road again.
