Story of my life, always something coming up I know. For example, my brother knocked this chick up and we had to go out of town all weekend for a party for him (just the boys).

Gotta update when this thing gets into page 2.....

Made some progress, but life has been kind of crazy lately. I own my own business, but rely on one contract at a time (weird I know). Anyway, I've had the same contract since 2010 and have gotten a little spoiled. They pulled the plug on me a few weeks ago and I've probably only got work for the next 2 weeks. Anyway, I don't have a new job lined up, so I've been a little cost conscious and haven't been working on the truck too much.

Had to do a little bracing for the alternator, I didn't want it flexing. You can't really see it mounted in the pic but here is what I came up with...

Here is the exhaust I made. Needed to add a little length so the o2's wouldn't give me any fits...

And here are some pics of how the truck sits as of tonight...Wiring harness for the Holley EFI is complete and installed permanently.

What do yall think of where I mounted the coils? Out of the way, and seems fine for what this truck is intended for. Not a good idea for a street truck though.

Looks good, I was going to ask if you had a skid/guard for the coils. regardless of streeting it, I would still make something to protect them..
