It always figures, you try to get things done in a timely matter then life happens. LOL Oh well, still plugging along. In wiring hell right now. Hopefully in a week or so that will be done so I can put the interior back in.

I am going to try something a little different that a lot of people been wondering how it would look on our trucks. Here's a little teaser pix...

Wow, progress is amazing. You're giving me a ton of ideas. Too bad I'm not ready for an LS swap yet. Keep it up, I can't wait to see more!

Re: IT's TIME! Agent Orange under the knife...
Well, it's been a ruff one the past several months. Work has been kicking my ass as well as a couple of set back with the build. BUT, back on track again and hopefully get her on the road over the next month or so.

Here are some pix of some of the work that has been done:

Hushmat(black foil type) totally installed and flaming river steering column




Ridetech suspension buttoned up with level sensors






airpod mounted

The radiator really wasn't fitting perfectly. The bottom outlet was not letting it sit flush on the bottom. So cut a small corner out of the bottom and rewelded it. Now it sits all the way down.
