I know they were Impressed.

Thanks, most of my neighbors keep to themselves, I always have people giving thumbs up as they walk past the driveway. A couple have stopped as they drive by to chat.

Yesterday I cleaned up the cab floor and scuffed it up, and taped the crap out of the door jambs/dash to get it ready for a coat of Raptor liner. I will still probably put down a layer of insulation between the carpet/rubber mat but I wanted to get the epoxy sealed up. I'm happy to have this last part of the cab done. I have all the pieces for the exhaust and brake lines that I want to get installed before the cab makes it to it's final home sitting on frame rails.

That looks so awesome!! Did you raptorline the kick panel area?

[Chaparralman1974]

I like the Raptor Liner in the cab Scott! I was going to do dynamat in mine, but I may do this instead.

Thanks, yes I sprayed the kick panel area as well. I figured I'd save some filler/sanding time by just raptoring those areas that will get beat up by shoes anyways.

Thanks, I might still do some kind of stick-on insulation over the raptor but that will be farther down the road. Until I get to that crossroad, I can enjoy the clean look of this.

Small progress weekend. Friday evening the boy and I got the TC pushed in the 700R4 and then got the trans bolted and torqued down to the engine. Then we fit the 454/700 between the frame rails for I hope, the last time. I needed a new transmission xmember so the exhaust would clear and not hang down below the frame rails. Speedway Motors had a decent one with some adjustability so I went and picked it up last week. Bolted it in between the rails and set the 700 on it with a poly mount.

On Sat I got an early start and started work on the trailing arm xmember. I used AZ Pro Performance's Dead End Exhaust Cut Outs so I could continue the exhaust between the height of the frame rails. I could've made the (2) pieces but for 100 bucks, they were worth saving time and just buying them. In hindsight, I should've bought their Trailing Arm xmemeber when I first was cleaning the frame up months ago. It looks like a nice peice.

Once the Dead End brackets were installed, I started to visually layout the mufflers and 3" exhaust in the rear to fit around the shocks and 12b rear. I think I should be able to get the exhaust kit I bought to work. I was going to try and re-use an old Flowmaster 40 that I had on the blazer but the offset needs to be wider and I only had 1, so would've had to buy one anyways.

I need to get some new header gaskets this week anyways so I'll pick out some new mufflers along with a number of other little pieces to keep progress moving. The garage was pretty warm in Phx, Fri/Sat worm me out. I took off today (Sun) from the garage to stay cooler and hang with the fam. More work to be done in the evenings for the week.
