Thanks guys for the kind words. It's going to be in the details now. Wiring and plumbing. I just got the floors back from being blasted, so I need to repair them and get them installed. It's coming together.

I've been so bad about posting updates on here. I am however pretty good about regular posting on the Facebook.

Well this weekend I was able to finally get the engine fired up and started chasing down a few leaks here and there. Saturday the H/T actually drove out of the garage under it's own power.
Motor sounds great and everything so far is working as it should. I still have a long way to go and many details to work out with wiring and the firewall. The end is now in sight though, and I'll hopefully have it looking close to complete by the end of this year. Woot!

I pulled what was left of the seat bases I acquired and had a friend bend up some patches for me. Everything worked out and I was able to get the patches tacked into place. I've got some additional repair work to do, and of course blast, primer and paint. I also have the seat tops too. Getting there!

I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Still working on many of the details. I was able to spray the whole track at once this past weekend to get more of a uniform color as things were getting a bit blotchy.

Looks really nice.  What was your secret to tightening the armor bolts? Ive tried using a socket style large flat blade on the slot side while using a impact wrench on the other with no like, blade slips off.
