well, I finally put rear brakes on my truck, been riding on the fronts for almost half an year already - running a manual bias-adjusting valve, to heck with the stock proportioning valve:

and here's a pic of my new fuel pressure regulator by QuickFuel and pressure gauge by Russel:

and finally a pic of the engine as it should be, nice and clean:

also here's some pics of my friend's GMC exhaust, see how it sticks out in stock form, real ugly (notice the weapon of choice next to the tire):

and here's how it looks after I cut it - a simple mod, but much much better looks, sound is slightly different too:

and here's a nice pic of the two trucks together, notice how the green one reflects slightly in my rear fender, and how mine reflects nicely off the green one's paint:

On the fourth just spent time with family and friends. Saturday worked on Riviera a little. Sunday worked on the truck, still fighting the frame (Boxing it in)

My weekend didn't end untill yesterday I went to the Home Run Derby @ AT&T Park yesterday. I'm a huge baseball fan been to thousands of games, play offs, and World Series. I would have to say I had more fun yesterday then any other game I've been to incuding the World Series. I almost caught a Albert Puljos ball. It was hit right @ us but with thousands of people around us it was mayhem. any ways that is what I got done.

I had a chance to rest.
The wife and I have been remodeling our house. We started just after New Years and I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel.
I actually have MY computer hooked back up and on my desk!

In another week or so I might be able to start working on my truck again.
I have a ton of parts to put on "Dropmember, One piece glass, Strong Arms just sitting in the shop.

Now that it's all hot and steamy outside It's time to start working again.
Funny, this time last year I was sanding primer. (Sweat + dry sanding = powdered doughnut.)

The older I get the more I hate Texas summers!
