No cutouts yet, but within the week. I did fire it up with the open headers, and I can tell it doesn't have a problem breathing now, :D.

:lol:, I've been busy with a new job and family stuff. I have gathered a few parts for my Son's truck. He didn't like the step bed so we sold that and will be putting on a new fleetside. I also picked up a painted steel bumper so, we're are still going to try and keep the same theme.... How's your truck coming?

:lol:, in due time, :D. I still have a few minor things to finish first. Today, I installed a new lower panhard bar bracket that I got from NoLimit. It allowed me to lower the mounting point on the driver's side, thus giving me clearance for my aluminum rear end cover.

I must say your truck looked wicked sitting in that parking lot Under that light last night. I could hear it picking a fight with the other cars that drove by.

Yeah pretty cool, huh? :D The QTP's work really seal really well and were pretty easy to install.

:lol:, You probably wouldn't recognize the truck fro the time you first saw it. So much for my "90% solution".....:).

You should have called, but I know how hard it is to break away when you're on vacation. How's your truck coming?

**

On another note, I installed a set of GMC Pauls door seals. Very simple installation, about 20 mins. Now I'm waiting for them to break in so I don't have to slam the door to get it closed. The next thing will be a trip to a dyno tuner, hopefully within the next couple of weeks, :metal:.
