That's really cool Lakeroadster, I've always been interested by the CAD programs. If you don't mind my asking, where did you get your cab vents from? I've read about that instal a time or two on here and would like to do that to my own truck, but have no luck finding any. I'm not even sure what to look for exactly.

I haven't drove my truck in about a month but I've been smelling a strong turpentine odor everytime I've walked by it. Finally did some investigating last week and discovered the gas tank has started leaking again. Multiple leaks all along the bottom. I pulled it today (thank goodness there was only two gallons of gas in it) and removed all the hardware and the new fuel sending unit.

Finally got my linkage adjusted to shift nice and smooth. Took the ole lady out for ice cream.

FINISHED all the wet sanding and washed the truck down for the 1K sealer prior to painting Sunday, weather turned wet ugly and cold overnight.

I mocked up an old Big Block that I had laying around.......The tubular mounts worked out fine. I used a set of BBC Hooker headers for a 69 Camaro, they fit very nice. Now I'll send the headers off and have them hot jet coated.

Here are two pics and a video...the crank pully looks like it may be wobbling just a little bit. I guess I should have stood in one spot. *shrug*
