Here's the latest...

**1971Stepside** · 09-05-2019, 10:51 AM

I didn't weld my latches in. Was there any adjustments you had to make for them to work? They look really good welded in. Why did I have to see this the day after I put primer on my doors

That orange will look awesome and will be an eye catching color. I like it a lot.

**roushinator** · 02-08-2020, 04:01 PM

I guess it was time for some updates...

**roushinator** · 02-08-2020, 04:02 PM

**roushinator** · 02-08-2020, 04:04 PM

**roushinator** · 02-08-2020, 04:06 PM

**roushinator** · 02-08-2020, 04:07 PM

relocated AC compressor and ran into some problems. AC compressor was hitting motor mount.

**roushinator** · 02-08-2020, 04:10 PM

came up with this solution....

**roushinator** · 02-08-2020, 04:11 PM

**1971Stepside** · 02-10-2020, 10:19 AM

Looks great! Going to be a beast for sure.

**roushinator** · 02-10-2020, 09:13 PM

Some work from yesterday...

knomadd · 02-17-2020, 11:10 AM

That's a nice solution to the AC problem. The engine looks great! Makes me want a supercharger!

**roushinator** · 02-21-2020, 09:49 PM

So i found out that the 96" belt works fine with this setup. My extension cable for my TPS came in and works great.
