Everything all tided up. Used the V10 pump to transfer the Diesel from the 12 tank to the ex tank, swapped the filler necks and tubes. Got the 12 Excursion running today. Tomorrow but on the body and do the parking brake.

Wow! A thread like this really shows all the small detail work (lengthened sending unit for one) that goes into a project like this. Great updates, love the details. Really looking forward to final product!

Must say I am very impressed! A wee bit jealous of your shop and talents as well. Truly a masterpiece. I think your nickname should be DaVinci.

And I was concerned about the floor panel joint fit. Can you say +/- 1/32". Man I can't maintain that in cabinet work.
