    Coach is like that~ Award winning photos all over the place.
    I like how the pin striping matches the gauge. Nice touch.

    Wiring is complete.......been on the road at least weekly.

    Battery is shot and will not hold a charge, but that is an easy fix. Hoping to put in my cam this week.

    Sunday night was beautiful, with a perfect sunset. I snuck out of the house for a quick cruise while the wife put the kids to bed. Truck I horribly dirty......

    Coach, glad to see you back. You have a interesting project. I follow along some over at that jumbo forum, but, prefer the small gathering here.
    Keep us up-dated.

    Steve.
    P.S. I'd would still like a copy of that photo of your truck in front of the old warehouse. If you ever get a chance to have some made.

    Coach, the one with the big blue letters is the one I'd like to have a large copy of. All of your pictures are really good.
    That one looks like a poster or calendar shot.
    PM me, if you want...

    Steve.

    My headers showed up just in time from Speedway. Got to test fit them before I yanked the motor.....

    So I assume you didn't like the ride/steering of the old axle?
