Update on Ol Bessy!! Interior, engine!!

Well, finished up the interior today on Ol Bessy, as well as redoing the wiring and cleaning up the engine bay. I'm going to be painting the truck Olive Drab Green with black along the bottom, so I started on the engine bay and painted my valve covers and air cleaner. Here are some before and after shots of everything as of today, let me know what you think!!

She's my offroad toy right now, I think she's come a long way

Looks like you've come a long way in the last 7 months. Keep at it you're gaining.So where's the gratuitious mud shot?

Re: Update on Ol Bessy!! Interior, engine!!

lol, it's coming. I ahven't had her out in awhile, busted a ujoint last time. I'm waiting till I swap in a one-piece shaft, need some new rear ubolts, and a few other things before I beat on her again. She sat for awhile, just started working on her again. Hoping to have her painted up soon
