How far away are you?
I realized the other day that I'm now probably closer to 'done' on my truck than I am to 'start'...kinda scary, but more cool
Of course...that still leaves a list of stuff to do...namely: *Coated headers and at least a partial, if not a full exhaust replacement...could be $800 *New carpet... $95 locally if I go with original-style stuff, might redo it with cut-to-fit type stuff... *Cover the dash pad with cloth and maybe door panels as well *Bottom end for the engine, along with a new cam...I want to do a 383...we'll have to see what the budget allows this summer...but probably about $2000 into that...unless the budget calls for making the engine last another year, then it'll just be a pan gasket *Fuel injection, most likely TBI since that appears to be a rather cheap and easy swap with nice benefits...probably $500 to $800 since I'll pull most/all? of it from a junkyard. *Fix the rear brakes for good...discs are soooo tempting just so I never deal with drums again... *Wes' dual electric fan setup, $300 *LED front signals, when they come out and when I can afford them And that's really about it...of course, that totals up to as much as $4000 to go! I've probably got close to, if not more than twice that in there so far...
