Well my project now is a truck I purchased from a member here. It's a 77 F250 high boy that had a lot of work done to it. I bought the truck with plans to finish what he started.
Right now the truck is out in Strasburg getting the engine replaced with a built 400. The 460 that was in it had a pretty nasty knock once it warmed up. I replaced the bed, the wheel wells were rusted out. It's currently being sanded down for a full repaint.
I'll post some pics when she's all done.
Here's a link to the build thread that the PO started.

So Im gunna kick off my Merc build again. I did a 5-speed swap only to toast the clutch spin the teeth on the flywheel and lost 3rd n 4th gears. Iv got a line on a shop that will mod the trans to handle what all else I wanna do. Im planning a 5.4 swap a Terminator front bumper mod and more suspension tuning. I don't have any picks to show you guys yet but when I get back to the states Im gunna post a link to my build thread.

I recently replaced the wiring harness with one I rebuilt, integrating all my custom wiring into the harness to get it nice and clean. I am happy with the results. While doing this I upgraded my alternator from 160 to 240 amps, I was using ~95% of my 160 amp alternator.
With all that done I will be working on my tune, which I don't think will take too long, just a matter of me putting in some time. And after that's stable, it'll be time for the water/meth injection. Hope to have this done by May or so for use in summer.
