Messing around making heat shields and brackets for the p/s lines and fixing really annoying 'minor' leaks.
Got the front end metal on.
Not long now.

Sounds like wind noise in a microphone. Truck looks and sounds great! Nice to see one rolling under its own power. Mine is still a ways away...

My son is hoping to get into Arizona state in a couple of years so the plan is for this to be his daily.
