Ok Grippy, seeing as how you are a detail freak like me Im gonna give you my opinion on a few things. Id changed the bolts on the water pump pulley to stainless or chrome, if you cant find anything to cover the fan pulley stud just paint it black cause it will rust if you dont, and paint the tops of the Idler and pitman arms by the zerk fittings black and the steering box. Oh where did you get that water pump pulley at? it looks sweet...on my stock one I put it in the bridgeport and milled 4 oval shaped holes in it as well as the p/s pump pulley and painted them gunmetal....whish I had time to get them chromed o well. Any ways from one neat freak to another this project is coming along nicely, this goes to show you that taking your time makes the project come together much nicer.

Thanks bro, my main goal at this point is to get everything back together, unfortunately all the little details I'd like to pay attention to will have to wait until another day.....of course some things have already been accounted for and some of the easier things (read: things that particularly bother me) will get their due attention
