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.

IDK. Never had anything nice enough to try it out on except my CC Dually which would be like paying to have a land yacht done.

Super nice. Looks great day or night. That is what I always try to do. No matter when you look at it, it looks good. You have managed to do that.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finished the conversion to a dual master cylinder.

Took it out for a test drive and it worked nice. Except I found out that while my turn signals work, my brake lights & rear park lights do not. They did a few weeks back...damnit, what happened?

Looks good. I still have to install the door ham courtesy lights. Was it hard at all? Any pics of the switches in the door jamb or advice?

Wasn't hard at all. If you look just to the left of the driver's ac vent in the door jamb, you'll see where I mounted the driver's side switch. The passenger side switch is mounted in the same place on the other side. I used 68 corvette door jamb switches that I picked up at the local parts store. Since I have no access to the back and wanted the switches to thread in, I drill a 1/4" pilot hole, then used a punch to enlarge it. This essentially rolled the metal inward giving me more material to tap. To give the wire a place to run through, I drilled a 3/8" hole 1/2" above the lower bolt that secured the dash to the A-pillar.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I pulled my seat out to take to the upholstery shop. Just showing I still have the factory jack under the seat. I have no idea if it works or not. At least I think that is the factory jack.
