Best thing about 84+ hour weeks is getting all the "fun money" pile rebuilt

New wires and coil covers. Still undecided about intake. So got these covers fairly cheap.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
Already ran fuel lines. Fired it up a few weeks ago. Running a little rough but it was running. Going to run the brake lines next. Then start putting on the front clip.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
So its been going slow as always. Had 11 days off over the X Mas break and very little work done. My oldest came back from her first year of college and that ate a lot of time over my break. But, spend the time with family, never know when you will get it with your kids when they leave!!

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
So, over the X Mas break. I hung lights as the rest the family watched from the driveway! I love LEDs. We also had to take one of our Danes in to get a tumor removed and fighting with her to get healed up after. Dam dog can lick her back leg even with a giant funnel on.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
so after mounting the new rotors, I decided I wanted them painted, so I painted them and sanded. They look pretty cool. Used a ceramic brake paint and a engine gloss.
