Well Sasquatch rolled out of the shop for the first time in a long time. Headed down to the tuner to be put on a dyno. My wife was officially the first one to drive it

Purple hornies! The owner wants to paint them but I told him he can't LOL. When I chop one of the cops on these cars I leave all the dense as much as I can I leave bullet holes as much as I can I kind of want them to look like they were done years ago if you can even tell that it was done. Why I take the time to whether it and make it look as Factory or old school if possible

So I made the hour-and-a-half trip to the tuner. When I got there he expressed to me that he needed to driveable. That was not expressed in our many phone conversations. Really what needs to be done to be drivable is nothing because I have the seat sitting in it. But I haven't tested the brakes or anything yet. So I did not feel comfortable leaving it with him untested. Jesse was cool about it he plugged into the truck and with a couple clicks of the keyboard we have the map sensor changed to the correct one and the truck runs now. Good oil pressure good coolant temp. It goes into gear and it moves so no more pushing it. I'm going to finish it up so it's 100% done and Road ready and then I'm going to bring it back to him on a Friday to put on the dyno and do some Street driving

There's always a comedian in the group! Very observant you are my friend. Considering there's no other windows in the car it's not a big deal[cl

Then I drilled an riveted on the aluminum top. Getting closer!

Well this build is still looking around my shop. The owner is ready to finish it now, so I'm back on it. I got a date with the tuner this Friday. Hope to be able to make it drivable!
I got the dash setup in tonight. Here is a short video showing that. High tech for this rust bucket.

Tuner came today!! It starts easy now and doesn't smoke like a 12v Cummins!! I got to drive it a little. So much fun!!! Short video attached. From the beginning of tuning to driving, you can hear the difference in the idle!
