I just came up an idea today.
With all the interest in this project, you should webcast the first running of it.
You could even make it Pay per view:

For 10 bucks, watch history in the making, as Grippy turns over the sweetest, shiniest truck ever.

I'd buy that.

lol, thanks bro, I know a lot of people are looking forward to see what she will do, how she sounds, all that good stuff. Especially the guys from WCCH who have helped me so much. I'm really looking forward to driving the truck out there so the whole crew can get a look/take people for a ride

I really appreciate all the support I've gotten from all the folks on this message board (and others) and in a lot of ways we have kinda built this truck together. In a perfect world I would have been done a long time ago but I'm a particular kinda person and do things my own way in my own time. I hope the end result isn't a dud!

I seriously doubt this will end up a dud. There may need to be a couple of items that will need to be addressed, but you've really covered the big stuff extremely well. The wiring is really sweet.
Your truck's engine bay is starting to look full now.
A real sign of progress
Keep digging Grip you're on the home stretch.
