This picture hopefully shows the color better.



Still have more to do on the interior....but these pictures show how much overspray was on the truck when I got it. Hell, even the tires and windshield had red paint on them.

How about Dallas

His name is Buford T Doolly

It's a grey urethane primer/sealer. I added more black dye to it as well. It is much darker that it appears in the pictures.

The Grey Goose is top of the list at this point. LOL

That was what came to mind when I saw it

Looks very nice Nathan! Do you have to port it differently to be used at a constant throttle for the street?

Thanks Steve, it’s a little different, but mainly it’s gearing, I soften the bottom end hit and increase the rev range, going to try a different pipe too. Mainly need to to not be wanting to come on the pipe too soon so it will lug. Excited to have a wider spacing for the gears so I can lower the overall gearing and make 1st gear be more manageable.

Had some spare time do I knocked off a minor change that solves an expensive outcome. Took off the timing gear cover and installed the Killer Dowl Pin keeper.
Got a Fluidampr so it was time to install it too.
Had to tap the dowl pin in to be flush with the housing, so it was on the move.

I bent up some rear brake lines this morning only to find out I cannot seem to locate the new rear brake hose I bought probably 10+ years ago..


Looks like I'll have to buy another one.

We were without phone and internet service for 24 hours Territory wide.
Made for a quiet day so I was able to get the clutch on the Franken truck sorted.
The mounting bracket twists off the Dodge clutch cylinder so that helped. It had been modified for the Ford once already.
It was all made to replace with a stock Dodge one if ever required.

 

[Yukon Stihl]

We got 6 inches of snow a couple days ago which slowed things down so I finished off the bottom inter cooler mount.
Everything fits behind the stock GM grill

I quit fiddley-diddlin around with the different assemblies for conversations to 4 wheel disks. Figuring out how to replace missing mounting pins or even something simple like replacing pads or rotors is impossible as the manufacturer would only “discuss” parts with distributors and the distributor gives you the manufacturers phone number ……. Talk about a circle-jerky
Switching out the rears next for Wilwoods 4 piston kit with emergency brake and their master cylinder and prop valve so everything is matched and designed to work perfectly as a system
