Dennis,

Just read through the 79 pages of your build and I have to say you do some amazing work! I love how the frame/suspension/wiring/etc came out. Cant wait to see this done!

Also, it was a pleasure meeting you two out here in Colorado as well, hope to meet up again in the future.

Keep up the great work and kick your painter for the "quality" job on your fenders!

Great job! Truck looks amazing! Although those painless wiring harnesses don't look so painless - or am I wrong?

the kit is awesome buddy! it just takes time getting everything perfect and figuring how to route everything.

here's a few pics from yesterday! getting things all cleaned up on the wiring, got new a/c vents, overflow bottle, auxiliary battery tray, blasted the a/c box, brake pedal, dog house seals, and did a little painting

good time out there on my short weekend

Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties

palposity · 10-10-2010, 07:58 AM

Awesome! I am loving that master cylinder!

*Stitch* · 10-10-2010, 09:07 AM

Yeah I agree Charlie. I really like that master cylinder too. I saw it earlier on in his build and forgot he had it. It looks good. I'm gonna have get me one of those to go with my rear disc brake kit too. Me and Dennis have the same rear disc kit.
