Since this is all I "work on" she's up and running but not right, have had nothing but issues with the Holley sniper. I bought the thing like 8 years ago, no warranty, I think I might just cut my loss and order the sniper 2 since we're already wired and hope that fixes the issue. The AFR has...

She sure is gonna be perty?

It's getting real now. I have been invited to put the truck in at the Cache Valley Cruise In for the "Top Rods of Utah". Only 15 vehicles in there and 18,000 spectators expected. Stupid weather... I can't get good pics of this till it's done and out of the shop.

I still haven't even driven it. Not sure if we're making it to Hurricane? Rain? I don't know yet. Been fighting these filler panels my brother made, stuff just isn't fitting. Tailgate on. Upholstery is pretty well done. I'm happy with it. I gotta finish getting the front filler...

See if this helps with some of the heat? fuel lines and some wires up above. Rear bumper and filler panel, having some fitment issues now with some of the small filler panels. See if we can't readjust some things next time.

I'm so ready to go for a burn. Got two more weekends to button this thing up, we'll be down at the Hurricane car show.

Hopefully take it for a shakedown soon? Wait there's more, back panel in, seat belts bolted up, tossed one of the seats down just to see. Having trouble with the added leather and a seam on the pleating interfering with the window crank handle escutcheon and dropping the pin in the handle.

Finally putting crap together, we're just winging it doing everything ourselves. Certainly not without it's flaws, mistakes, lessons. Overall should be a fun truck. Not going to be any hiding that big block when it's running. Bed strips and wood all bolted down. Throwing in all that...

Fired up the big block last weekend but we are getting issues with the sniper, we have checked and rechecked everything multiple times and still haven't figured it out, is the sniper itself faulty? Are we getting interference issues? Do I need to try a different distributer or plug wires? I have...

Exciting! 😁

Got the transmission cooler mounted, plumbed and wired (pics are before wiring done) not much real estate up front so under the bed it is. Did some pressure testing on the cooling Put some antifreeze, power steering fluid and 5 gallons of pump gas. Filler neck was leaking on the truck...

Soo close.

Probably unnecessary but while we're at it...building some bracketry to mount up under the bed, get it mounted, plumbed and wired this weekend and hopefully figure out the park brake problem?

Lights are a good sign? Cluster gauge Sniper Stereo system yes License plate bracket yes Horn yes Overdrive yes Cut outs yes High beam yes Heater yes Wipers yes Line lock yes Park break NO. Door glass installed

Was a pretty drive to Paragonah and back yesterday, didn't go rummage through the mud and cars, don't need another project! I was there for one thing only.

With all the wiring in the cab done, hopefully finish the rear of the truck this weekend and test it all. I was going to put my glass in the doors the other day until I realized one of my regulators is going to be a problem. Headed out of town to go get another one. Put a Killswitch up...

My heart has been heavy lately learning of the loss of another cousin at age 40. I didn't get much time with Patrick but I'm pretty close with some of his older siblings, he was also one of the family members that loved hot rods, shadowed his father. Unfortunately he was dealt a shitty hand...

Almost like we put some thought into it? It's kind of a lot of engine for a little truck I guess? 😁
