You just carry that bubble in the back If it looks like rain just stop, inflate and drive in. Just shut off the truck (dont want to sufficate) and watch the rain kindof like a reverse aquarium...

We will just call him bubble boy

couple of loose ends I need to tie up, one being the transmission cooler lines, the other being the A/C line. I am going to add the AC Delco part to take the under-dash hiss out of the system today and while I was at it, I figured I might as well add some flex joints into the system to make install/removing and routing it easier. I was not happy with the I/C take covering a service port. Parts below:




headers are finally back from the high temp coater so I can mount up the exhaust system now.....went for a maintenance free finish which happens to be a better coating anyway

Well that kind of takes a big part of the bling away but I think you will have your hands full keeping up with the rest of the stuff as it is anyway.

Looks great Grippy! Your slowly running out of things to add to the engine bay.
Are the collectors going to be slip fit or are you going to weld flanges or a V band clamp? I don't recall how you had that setup before.
