So, with a new leg, you'll be twice as fast getting your truck done? I can't keep up with you now!

I'm thinking of building a "cold-air" box in the front and to the right of the radiator and then running an intake tube to it and sticking a "cone/K&N style filter in the box. That's at least 6 months from now though. Post up some pictures when you finish it.

Beautiful Photo's!
Do you do photography professionally? If not you should consider it.
I worked for a company a long time ago that sent me to Hurlbert Field for 6 months and then to Cape Canaveral. Florida was fun - crazy drivers - but fun!

new engine
if you have a flat tappet or hyd lifter cams i hope that your engine builder told you to use zink additive in your oil we build about 20/30 engine a month and i cringe every time i give to a customer because of cam breakin and no zink in the start up oil.. do a search on the internet for camshaft failures,,your engine LOOKS real good and lots of luck
