Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel

[mal68ibu]

I got the drivers side of the engine compartment fairly finished up. I had to massage the inner a little to clear the air intake piping. I made a little bracket for the engine oil cooler hoses. I had to relocate the wiring and I'll clean that up before I'm done. I installed my engine temp and oil pressure gauges just to find out my oil pressure gauge needs to be replaced. I have another pod on top of the dash with a vacuum gauge in it and a hole for the boost gauge when it shows up. More on that later. Trans still does not shift right so I'm hoping that I just have to fiddle with the throttle position sensor a little more, or dink around with the vacuum pump......you know the easy stuff. I did a couple laps around the block and the temp got up to 195 and just stayed there. It was 100 degrees out. Once the truck warmed up I got very little black smoke and it felt strong.
