Picked up a set of forged weld Cheyennes in 18x10 the other week but they were pretty rough. So far I got this one done. I think it came out good. I have a pretty solid lead on a PIAA valance too. Hopefully I can get that and get these welds on in the next month.

Piaa valance is still in the works. 99% sure I'm gonna get it. A lightning 3rd brake light appeared on my front porch today too

Well the bad news is one of the welds cracked and is toast, also they are next to impossible to find. The good news is a got some raceline renegades to replace them. They look almost identical, they are just 8.5 wide and 0 offset :/. Spacers help with that tho. I ended up getting the piaa valance too it just needs to be repainting. My brakes suck so I have an expedition swap on the way. I also scored on Craigslist again Yesterday. I got a full set of brand new in the box Fox 2.0s for 225. They retail for 130 a piece. Brake parts should be here by Friday. After that's all done I gotta rebuild my steering

I finally got some go fast parts. Built 4r70w with 7 plate clutches, billet 2400 stall torque converter and I'm buying Idb2328s long block with the lightning setup. The engine has a forged crank, Manley rods and pistons, ARP hardware, 9.6:1 CR, Trick flow 38cc heads, stock cams, and they m112 pullyed at 12 psi. I'll probably port the blower before everything go in my truck. I'm picking it all up in 2 weeks, I can't wait. This week I have a stock L heat exchanger, an Intercooler pump, L fuel hat with twin 255s, a fuel pressure regulator, and some new relay and fuse box's coming in. My plan is to have all that on and everything wired up before I pick the engine up.

Engine is in, still waiting on the transmission. Transmission should be done this week tho. I have to have the truck running by the end of the month so it will be done soon. Old pictures but you get the idea. All I have left to do is mount the heat exchanger (which is huge compared to stock), finish up some wiring, and run the vacuum lines, and put the trans in. I also undercoated the truck while everything was apart
