The plus side to yellow paint? You can see any leaks that might happen. Lol

Idk how to quote multiples on this dumb mobile site so here we go
Thanks NFL
I agree the yellow and black looks awesome, everybody has loved it so far, I'm super glad I went that route.
Yes those are headers installed and everything, I finally got them at the end of April. They seem to be very well built, the flange on them is hella thick so it definitely shouldn't warp.
I have not started it yet, I hope to get it all assembled this weekend and start it the next if things go well.
Getting to this point has been a massive struggle. The taller valve covers wouldn't allow the engine to drop back in as easily as before so I had to jack the cab up 3" to clear them. This involved cutting out the front 2 bolts which meant I had to order new bushings and bolts, no big deal, just $75 more dollars. Also noticed the flywheel had about a 1" section of teeth gone, new flywheel= $70. Once the pig was sitting in there bolted in, with a 3" body lift the heater box was still touching the valve cover, so that is now gone, I'll have to bolt a patch panel over the hole and seal it, then order a small aftermarket heater before winter which will run me another $250-300, but it's non essential right now. Hopefully it will be running soon, I'm beyond ready to drive it again.
