Looks great Steve!  :cheers:

To sleep late, have fun, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love or getting arrested.    H.S. Thompson

It won't be on the Salt until WofS.

 I'd like to make it to SpeedWeek, but that will have to wait for my next visit.

Steve.....Looking LOUD!  :-D

Also, here's something to think about. Vic posted this on page 1 of my build and you might want to do the same on your bed cover.


     Gregg - I would rivet an aluminum angle diagonal to each segment of the bed cover to help  keep them from "oilcanning" ( and adding drag). Learned this ages ago in Craftsman trucks.

Hope this helps,

I'm trying to get as much "asses and elbows" time as possible, somewhat at the expense of keeping good photo documentation of everything.

That being said, I now have the intercooler piping sorted out, the radiator, fan, shroud, and overflow tank mounted, the clutch cable fabbed and installed, the throttle cable fabbed and installed, and a pretty good jump on the wiring and gauges.  Here are some more pics...

You should have painted it so it would be easier to find on the salt  :cheers:

With as much as you have accomplished in such a short time, it's a wonder you had the time to take any pics at all.
LOOKING REAL GOOD Steve! I can't wait to see it on the salt at WoS!  :cheers:

I want this thing to look like it landed here from another planet, and it's hungry for SPEED!

Your retinas hurt now, wait until it's out on the salt! That thing is going to glow, stare to long and you might have a seizure?

I've been wrenching all weekend, while listening to the action from Speed Week. 

I got the little truck up and running, and drove it around the block once.  Here's a quick video.  This thing is going to be MEAN!!!
