got the spacers fully welded in and threw a quick shot of paint on them.






^^^ if those things budge at all I'm going to quit working with metal all together lol

got two crossbars welded in for the cage.. just need door bars and shock hoops






current state of the truck


and it was 1/2 off at the bone yards.
got an alternator, power steering pump, oil pick up tube, ignition coil, and a MAF super cheap!


found the trans i need up in compton having a friend scoop it up for me =]

and i did my taxes and found out I'm getting a ton more than i expected!!!! so I'm getting the trans adapter kit a lot sooner than i thought i would =]

[pejsa]

so i got my heads back from the machine shop and oh boy they look good =]





full 3 angle valve job, resurface, and thorough cleaning.... had to replace 4 valves due to rust and age
