Yea well, I've always liked them and it reminds me of the wreckers I started towing in.
Anyways I powder coated the heater neck and thermostat housing to protect from rust and the housing blistered while curing, oh well I was never going to win any beauty contests
I also installed the fittings for the tranny cooler lines, so the leaks are gone!
With those done I was able to start him up and go for a quick ride, here's a updated quick video.
