Nice job and that interior really pops. Looks great.

It is finally near completion and I actually drove it today.
Just a few small items left to do.

Woah, that is gorgeous!

That's a beauty! Let's see under the hood?

Does anyone else have certain virtual senses kick in when they see pics like that. I can almost smell the freshly ran engine, the new paint, and even the interior. And it smells good.

Now that you mention it, freshly scorched Moly Orange engine paint, a drying lacquer paint job and a new interior do bring back memories. I used to work as a mechanic, and also painted many of my cars (lacquer) back in the day, and my dad upholstered many of the family's cars. Good scents, indeed!

Most of the stock stuff was not functioning, and with a 140 amp alternator, the amp gauge was a fire looking for a place to happen....I like lots of information,so the gauges are normal for me....

Added some speakers in the cab corner

Finally got my seats installed. 2003 Blazer Seats with shoulder belts. Driver is power...I need to build a little bracket to house the controls. Had to build a rail for the inside track on both seats, was a PITA but it's done now. Super comfortable compared to the stock seats...stock seats are available if anyone is looking?

I threw together a cup holder. It will go in the cab corner. I will not be able to drink out of the drink while driving. It is more of a place to put a takeout cup on my way home. I am going to put some hook Velcro on the outside to help if stay in place.

Looks good...sometimes you just need to have a place to sit your drink. I need to come up with something for a cup holder. I usually drink 20oz cokes and need something for that.

I cut the super rusty 69 bed sides off my trailer today so that I can bolt on the old bed sides I recently swapped out from Frankentruck

Ah! A matching trailer but with a metal floor. Nice!

I installed my Clifford intake with 12Bolt cast iron headers and a Holly 450 3BBL (converted via 12Bolt kit) and got it fired up last night!
Need to dial it in now and get an exhaust installed.

I borrowed this pipe bender from a neighbor to bend my throttle linkage and it rocks!
