Yea the old man is pretty sharp, I could not have done this build without him. I am gaining on this one, after all of these years I can't shake the "while I'm here I might as well...." syndrome. I ended up re-routing a ton of wires, making some pieces to clean up under the hood, replacing some parts just because they were ugly, powdercoating about a million small pieces that typically don't get powdercoated, and buying a lot of crap I already had just to make it look better. Either way I am about a week from getting her finished and tuned up with the new cam. I will posted a video this weekend of the new sound once we get her dialed. Stay tuned

I feel your pain. I'm going to tear my truck apart in a bit to clean things up because I'm taking it to Carlisle in August. I'm trying to decide when enough is enough since I'll be building a crew next year.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
That looks really nice! Do you have some wheel tubs or inner fenders for it yet?

Thanks guys, no wheel tubs yet Ryan. I am going to end up with Hills Rod and Custom wheel tubs which require cutting the fender up but I have no choice with the ride height I have in the front.

What are the deminsions of the firewall cover on you fuse block wires? What’s it made out of? How’s it attached if you don’t mind sharing. Very nice

I'll have to pull some measurements the next time I am over at the shop. I just took a piece of sheet metal and cut it out, broke the corners, welded it up, and painted it. For the mounting I took two long skinny bolts and welded them to the inside edge, drilled two holes in my firewall and ran a nut on the studs from the drivers side of the firewall. I have another picture of the cover I'll post, it's a little easier to see the shape

We did the drive from Raleigh to Concord but decided not to go to the drag strip at the very end. Dad bent a rim on his bagged mint truck and had to call it a day.
