Too bad you're so far away from Texas. I'm sure more than a few of us would like to see your show in action. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=417090

I might be able to swing an appearance. The truck needs to go down south for a visit some time soon anyways.
BTW, it should be fired up in the next couple of days, I will post up the new pics....it is super close to done now.

I went to the AFI shop tonight to buy some Procharger Oil as it was time for a change and Martin very kindly showed me this Beautiful Beast. Man - that Truck looks even better in person (you could eat your lunch off the engine - it is so clean and ......well....awesome......1000+ HP.....yikes). The pics don't do the rims full justice either - this vehicle looks good on the strip or the Club or the Autobahn for that matter.
As well, I got to take a peak at a fully built Whippled 408 which is soon going into a client's TBSS! I needed to gather myself for a moment and wipe away the drool...
As I have two left thumbs and had not changed the Procharger Oil before, Martin was also kind enough to stop what he was doing, offer me a beer, and fit me in for a quick ProCharger Oil Change! All of this after hours when he could have just as easily sent me away. That was very cool and much appreciated Martin!
It does not surprise me to see how busy Martin is after providing service like that. When the cash gets rounded up (or siphoned off the LOC ...LOL) I will be back for some more serious work, and I will be sure to book myself in far in advance.
Thanks again, and have fun down South!

I took a couple quick pics. Just need to put some hose clamps on, the belt, and a few little things before fire up.
All the small jobs were the time killer from the last progress pics. Oil lines, exhaust, actually bolting things down and running wires, they were all time killers.
I will get some pics of the Mandrel Bent stainless dual 3 inch exhaust system complete with X-pipe when it gets back on the hoist.
