Are you running this bad boy without a hood? Or is Kyle working on it?

He's working on it. Just got the new wiper motor from Detroit Speed, so as soon as he gets done under there we can put the hood on.

Thanks Keith!

You're making a ton of progress on your truck, it's nice having it close to home, isn't it?!?

Yes sir, it's nice to be able to walk out in the garage and work on it anytime I want to.

Zoomin, I just read this thread and all I can say is: Ruth is Friggin unbelievable... beautiful job.

Makes me want to get back on the Malibu... I am definately swiping some of your ideas.

That LS looks sweet sitting in there... I cant say enough, awesome.

Thanks!

Kyle and I can't help but laugh when we look at Ruth's pictures before we started - the old gal has come a long way - a lot farther than I intended. One thing led to another, you know how it goes.

Won't be too much longer before she's on the road!

Wayyyy past time for an update. Ruth is headed for GOODGUYS DFW this weekend and Kyle has been busting hump to get her finished. It's not been easy, and there's still work to be done, but she's a running, driving machine now.

Check out the custom filler panel Kyle fabbed up!

Not the best shot, but I wanted you guys to see the shift boot ring that McBassin made.

He also made a special "Ruth" badge.

The icing on the cake. :smoke:

Thanks Mike!

Ruth looks great! Good job guys you really set the bar high with this build. I'm just happy to have very small part in it. I think we all need more pictures though.....
