Next thing were gonna hear is you getting pulled over cause you slapped a steering wheel and gas pedal and 2x6 seat and went driving round the neighborhood
This may happen once I have brake lines...those Flinstone brakes don't work so well.

Couple questions. Is that a stock trans dipstick?
I ordered that dipstick from Summit part #AAF-ALL69118

Quote:
Do you have your trans linkage figured out yet? What are you using if so?
No, I'm waiting on beaterku to get his figured out so I know what to do!!

How long did it take you to smooth your intake and dip it? I remember the post but don't think you said how long for each process(smoothing and dipping)...
Took me a good afternoon to cut all the extra off and weld it up. I then spent a few hours sanding and filling. Dropped it off at the dipper. Took about a week to get it back. He dipped it three times to get the final product. It still isn't perfect, but better than a cover IMO.

Are you going to use a mechanical gauge for oil pressure in the end or are you going with electronic gauges?
I am going with Dakota Digital electronics
