Polished? They (the valve cover set-up) look steel? Is that all aluminum?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: off it goes

rear wheel well splash pans being built....these are to hide the compressors and to quite them down a bit....the screening is just a mock up of how they will be once we get it in place. This is to allow airflow into them and they are open on the backside by the bumper for the air to flow right through. They are two piece so the air system will still easily accessible.

Re: off it goes

I know i only come in here and offer compliments, but this build is just on another level. Its so far beyond a truck at this point and has transitioned into such a piece of art. I really cant wait to see how many shows and magazine articles are written about it.

x2. Pretty slick set-up. This is a detail that really makes a difference w/the relocated coils & slick top cover set-up.

The fab work is soooo nice on this thing it's ridiculous.

Isnīt that how it always goes? I wanted to "make it run" when I bought it, 14 Years later, it still isnīt done and I keep coming up with ideas every week!

I have to agree you truck is a different level than any other truck out there! Absolutely love it! Keep up the great work!
