just trying to stay motivated.

step 1



srep 2



last and final



also sanded an extended cab surround,
got all the overspray off from the previous paint job



changed the Volant C.A.I out that was on the Harley with the C&L



I also put the Volant on "my big trucks set-up"



It's more of a closed system and will shield more than most C.A.I. out there, also plan on getting a an outer wear to help



Cleaned my lower radiator mounts, planning the radiator mount for the bed

 

sweet build. startin to come together
cant wait to see it done, nice job

 

Subscribing to this epic build thread. Harley, keep up the good work and thanks for taking the time to post so many details and pictures. It's interesting for a newbie like me to see all these parts as they are being built. I'm amazed at how you even picked up all the knowledge to do something like this. Good luck and keep it coming!

 

It looks like a candidate for a roll-over. Drive safely!

 

YEA! Roll over just about anything he wants to!

 

Got a good deal on a '01 lightning short block, need a stand in the worst way.



Took the oil pan off, and it looks to be in good shape



Time to start mad scientist tearing it up.
