what happened to the other gauge cluster? You running this one now? I'm having trouble keeping things straight. Lol. Rumble rumble. Is the sound Grimace made or the fry guys.

**GR8-68** · 06-18-2017, 08:31 PM

Kinda, still have to add in the tach ...

hewittca · 06-18-2017, 08:32 PM

Nice! I see a gear drive, should be able to hear that thing coming. What are your plans for exhaust? I am in desperate need of new exhaust on mine and I'm trying to see what others are doing first.

2 1/2" through shorty mufflers ending before the rear axle with turndowns. This all starts with my Doug Thorley headers

I just cant keep up with your changes and mine at same time. Gonna have to start writing mine down on paper. Sometimes I think I change stuff in my sleep. Wake up n swear stuff wasn't like that the day before.

Well good day at the truck shop, about got the motor to the point of bolting the transmission back to it and sitting it down into the frame to stay

**GR8-68** · 06-24-2017, 04:21 PM

Well transmission is all prepped and ready to bolt to the motor and get it cradled back into the frame for hopefully the final time.

cknfrmr · 07-09-2017, 04:45 PM

cknfrmr · 07-09-2017, 04:53 PM

I was right.

**GR8-68** · 07-09-2017, 06:51 PM

Trying to regain some ground I lost !!

I thought about making it black and white but liked the color, the sky lights add an extra feature and good lighting

**GR8-68** · 07-16-2017, 11:42 AM

Here it goes, setting the power plant

**GR8-68** · 07-16-2017, 02:26 PM
