I got a little work in this weekend.
First off I painted the head, and cam cover. I also got a new bottle of argon for the TIG and finished DE-EGR'ing the AHU manifold. I glass beaded my cam cover and removed the factory oil screen/baffle for the vent in the top of it, I replaced it with a step baffle that I made from a couple pieces of sheet metal.
I also started working on tearing my struts down to make air-struts out of them. I'll post pictures later once i get my bags and other supplies.
Here are some pictures.
Thats about all for now. I am currently deciding whether or not I want to make this truck rear wheel drive or not. I plan on running a 2wd Suzuki sidekick transmission and an acme adapter plate. This is going to be hard decision, but I will know sooner or later.
