What did you get done this weekend?

Finally I get to start one of these threads...Pictures speak for themselves, but here are some words:

Girlfriend was out of town, worked on truck 12 hours straight on Sunday.

got oil pressure and water temp gauges wired and plumbed.
filled the tranny w/fluid.
filled engine w/oil.
re-mounted the C/K truck dipstick.
sanded down the firewall where the brake booster is and painted it.
re-mounted the master cylinder for brakes.
rewired the trailer lights.
modified the driver's side bumper support bracket to fit with the power steering setup.
got the throttle cable setup (But not chopped and hooked up to the pedal).
got the manifolds torqued down to spec (intake + exhaust).
got the harness installed, all wired up, very easy but took a long time.
NOTE: noticed skip shift solenoid sensor was deleted, hope this won't cause a problem? i wanted to disable it, but ... i'm a noob i'm really happy with the quality of work on the harness Wait4me did thus far, although some of the wiring (like power ACC and power ON) and the starter stuff seems a tad cheez but 100 times better than i would do!!
got the battery box sanded and painted.
got the front clip back on and somewhat adjusted, but not bolted down yet.
dorked around with the low pressure PS line. gotta figure out how to bend it to make it fit under the inner fender.
updated my gallery to include pictures of the driveshaft install and today's work - including my gauges setup on the pan and head.

this is a weird sight for me...it's been almost 7 months since i saw it like this
last.

I can't check the forum daily. If I don't reply to you within 24 hours, drop me a PM! I'm (hopefully) still alive and will reply faster to a PM.
