Yeah, I know it's another small detail, but I can't help myself. I have to try to make doing the resto stuff exciting somehow. Believe me for a custom truck kinda guy, it's not easy getting excited about this stuff.

So here's my latest addition. Along with another few hours of cleaning the motor and re-routing plug wires. I got new plug wire looms too, but I'll spare you the pics of those...

Why? I would love to see them.

It's all in the details, stock/resto or custom/rod. This is what makes or breaks it at the shows. I know I'm no judge, but this is what I always look at. The small details. This tells me how much thought the owner put into it. It's easy to over look the small things.

Mike, you would appreciate the looms. I had 3 different colors on there. They were all OEM, but who knows what year, or what motor.

The dealer had a full set, so I replaced them all. It still looks like a wiring nightmare under there, but that's they way GM made it.

Now I have to find some of the correct tape to wrap wires with. The electrical tape I have is to shiney. You can see it from a mile away...

I spent a year searching through junkyards looking for an overflow bottle for my '86. I assumed it would be ridiculously overpriced at the dealer. I never could find one, so I finally asked about it when I was picking something up at the dealer. It was only about $15. I was shocked. It sure looks better than the old brown one with the hole in the bottom.

Now, if only my truck was running...
