Yes sir. Well a local tire shop is sponsoring me for rear tires so you can count on it.

lower50's · 04-05-2016, 03:10 PM

Well some more great news today. I got conformation that due to me winning vehicle of the year last year at the Unfinished Nationals my truck will be on this years T-shirts

Also A friend of mine who has a pin-striping business (Petts Pinstriping) was asked to have a booth at the show. He asked me if I want to be a part of his booth.

He is working on my show plaque right now and may lay some lines this weekend on my truck.
I got the intake back on today.

So this morning I started to make a heater duct to go on the end of my 30A electric heater so I can attach the defrost pipes.
I started with a piece of Stainless sheet and 2" pipe. 4 hrs later.
I left the gaps at the front side to give some heat down at your legs.
It's all installed and hooked up just have to tidy some wires. It fits just behind the bottom lip of the dash.

Today I put the running board checker plate back on and installed the box skirts.
I also got my now fake gas filler mounted with it's new gasket and mounting bracket. It just has a screw to the inner cab skin.

Good idea to finish out the hole. Hopefully the cap is sealed.

Ya I like the look of the gas cap there even though I'm not using it. Guess I'll find out.

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-07-2016, 04:27 PM

More nice work! That heater will definitely help. My 40 Ford didn't have a heater and it can get sketchy in the fall. Open the cowl vent and enjoy the freeze out.

**joedoh** · 04-07-2016, 09:21 PM

nice job on the cap! I stuck an upside down pop cup from QuikTrip in my 65

It worked to seal against the rubber and didnt let any water in, and not one person noticed.

RockinKees · 04-08-2016, 04:19 AM

Nice touch, Lower!
To keep the cap, it's all in the details!!

May I say I love the '65 of Joedoh too

Well this weekend I got lots done. Saturday morning I met up with a friend of a friend who works at a local injection shop. We spent 4 hrs going through the pump and injectors. The pump was out of spec and after putting some new parts into it and calibrating, it is perfect. 4 injectors where good 3 where low on pressure and one was blocked by me not having the right tools to take them apart. But all good now. By Saturday night we fired the motor back to life and wow it purrs now, also has wicked throttle response. It was so worth the time and effort. It's amazing how much better it runs on 8 cyl. lol
Sunday got both my door poppers wired permanently, cleaned up my heater wires, also terminated some other wires.
This Saturday is my first drive ever!!

Oh and my bday and my maiden voyage.

Wow quite the machine he has there I looked around my town and couldn't find anyone that had even heard of flow matching injectors. Everyone I talked to either said "I don't work on that new crap" or "Just get bigger injectors"

I think we can all agree that we need that madden voyage video

Better be careful of full service gas stations where a kid comes out and fills your tank, washes your windows and checks your oil...... ooops what am I thinking????? this is the 21st century where we have to DO EVERYTHING OURSELVES again..... and they get $15 an HOUR!!!!! to do Nothing

Dont fill up your cab with fuel!!!!

**Advanced Design** · 04-11-2016, 08:43 PM

Hey Lower, nice the engine is hitting on all 8 and you hooked up with someone who knows his business.

How cool is it your first drive is on your birthday! Have fun!

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-11-2016, 09:17 PM
