up and running

Here's my truck ready to run for 2016. There's more work to be done, but for now, it's gas up and drive. The paint color is a single stage, HOT ROD FLAT GREY, from Eastwood.

Super clean! I'm a fan of how tidy the engine bay is.

thanks for your words. the wiring is all running up from the underside of the engine and the coil is part of the distributor.
