FRANKENTRUCK terrorizes Fort Collins, Colorado

Yo! Y'all!
It's happening tomorrow!
FRANKENTRUCK goes to work for the first time, literally! It starts the 40 mile round trip commutes to work in Fort Collins.

Finished the re-torque of the headbolts on the new 350 V8 yesterday, re-assembled the externals, and cured the newly repainted shorty headers today.
There's still a couple of minor things to attend to, but FRANKENTRUCK can certainly take care of itself now!! Starts and runs like a champ,...spits water out the exhaust in attest to it's motor's efficiency. Tremendous accelerator response and rpm capability!
Road miles will test the construct and allow me to attend to any defects, but it's sure been trouble free so far. I'll complete the first oil and filter change this weekend. Maybe I can get to installing the dash bezel, finding the open in the fuel guage circuit, and installing the door threshold trim.
