Thanks
Been beating out the last few things here and there. I ran my exhaust through the frame and out the back. Before I routed it under the cab frame and there just wasn't enough ground clearance. Welded down the floor and finished the tunnel then covered everything in "peel & seal". I whipped up a some pads for headrests (I just had a fellow hot rodder I know get rear ended and hit his head hard on nothing but steel... I was planning on putting them in anyway but that may have gotten them done just a bit quicker. I made my own mufflers with some 5" supertrapp discs and a couple different sized pipes. You obviously can't see the one on the inside... about half the diameter of the outside pipe and drilled with a slew of holes. They are still a bit loud but they should work.
Driven it around town a little bit... this thing is going to be a blast although I stopped and filled up with gas for the first time and the first question I got was..... "hey, what kind of millage does that thing get?". Lame... to say the least.
I have only a couple more things planned before I do more driving than building. I was considering some sort of fur for the floor covering. I also need to mess with the transmission adjustments as it randomly downshifts when I am holding the throttle steady on level ground.
