It is still on the donor truck. We are trying to figure out how to get it back to the house. That is my hang up right now. If I had that truck here I would be a lot farther if not finished by now.

get what back to the house?? the donor or yours?? sounds like it getting to be a pain more than anything. what do you have scheduled after this?? moving to Texas??

Lonesome7.3 · 08-22-2009, 01:48 PM

Yes, the donor is what I am lacking. I think I just wokred a deal on getting it back here though.

My wife got me thinking about moving to Texas becuase a friend of hers is moving out there. There are a lot of things about Texas that gets my attention. I especialy like what I have read about the law enforcement agencies.

Here is what I got done today. I had to pull the intercooler to get to the frame rails that I have to box in. The have shined peice of flat steel is what I am going to have to form and weld into place. I really did not feel like pulling the fedners to the the suport out of the way so I wiggled the **** thing out. Getting it back in is going to be fun. I also pulled it becuase I want to remove the rest of the paint from it. It looks bad with the paint flaking off. I also found that torn boot that connects the tubing to the intercooler. I am not looking forward to making those frame insters. There is a curve on the lower portion of the frame rail that is going to be tough to duplicate.
