Now that's funny! I'll have to remember that line if anyone ever asks me about the creases

I drop the old girl off for exhaust after work tomorrow so I'm in the big push to get it all together. Last night I built the mount for the ECU. I put it in an S10 mount and made a couple little straps off the frame. Simple and effective!


I also started getting coolant in it and after a few minutes, I heard coolant hitting the floor and about **** a brick. Looked like it was coming from the head gasket so I was pretty bummed. I cracked one of the front steam ports open to bleed the air out of the system and forgot about that. Coolant was running from there, down the valley cover and down the back of the head. Phew!




Check the list out, it's getting down to the nitty gritty now, I love it!
