You should be very proud, that is a very beautiful truck and looks fantastic sitting outside in the natural light. Fantastic workmanship!

Excellent! That is exceptional sheet metal work, not a flaw anywhere! Sounds great too!

That was a great video. I'm sure there was a huge smile on your face when you were driving. Great work!

if I had a big smile on my face: -X04, even the I have to put the engine tuned, spark plugs are very black, not if the carburetor is ideal.
Ben I was driving and my wife was at the window with the camera

Hello, I have doubts with the correct assembly of the radiator seals, someone could put me some picture with mount. I refer to these three seals:









Thanks

The emblems look awesome. I can hardly wait to
see them on the truck. They should really pop.

The top molding slides into the track under the hood, the middle one was originally stapled to the gravel pan and up against radiator, I used screws to install mine. The third molding goes on the radiator valance and closes the the gap between it and the top of the radiator.

Great progress. Everything is looking great.
Be sure to show some pictures when you get the radiator seals installed. I will need to get them before too long and install pictures would sure help out.

Keep up the great work.
