and why not a whole compartment pic! i decided to clean up the thing a little, got rid of some surface rust on the inner fender from brake fluid leaking, and cleaned it all up and rattle canned everything to death. i wasnt sure if i was happy doing the firewall, but i guess its alright for now :) it was the stock dark blue with the black tar all over it:rolleyes:

i will not be driving the truck until atleast the following is done:

*edelbrock carb is replaced with new demon carb
*front end is rebuilt(along with another .5" - 1" drop)
*new powersteering pump and box(both are leaking)
*new lines for the tranny cooler are installed


so i have some time to do a little bit here and there :)

i dunno how much it helps, i've had it all installed since the engine was put in.
cant say it helps with mileage much as i usually average about 10mpg in it
