May 21st is the show. Should have it on the road by then. Its just putting the motor back together, lighting, gauges, insurance, and putting the hood/hood pins on

Finally got some time this weekend to work on it. Everything runs good with it now. Just have lights and gauges left. Might not have the gauges hooked up by the show but it'll be legal. I did end up getting another 1/4 turn on many of the studs when I hot retorqued. Should be plenty good now. Almost forgot how good it felt to drive it. Looking to get a couple 05+ steelies for the front to help my clearance issue.

I picked up a set of 06 wheels/tires on craigslist for $75 this week and put them on the front, juuuuust right. clears the pass fender by 1/4 inch. after work today im going to work on it some more. i have a rear caliper hanging up so i gotta fix that now. itll spin the tires into 4th on "stock" tune

Spliced a bunch of wires today. Replaced that caliper and had to order some missing headlight pieces. Going to try and finish the tails today if time allows

That's the plan. Even if I have to use hand signals lol. It's really just splicing the rear harness back together and hopefully the blinkers will work properly. They are kinda funky right now but I think it's just missing a ground. After that it's gauges and switches in the dash but I can get those later. I've been trying to get it to this show for 2 yrs now but life/work always slowed the project up. I had ankle surgery last Monday too but nothings stopping me this year! Knock on wood.....

I should be able to get it. It's just wiring and I'm pretty particular about it

I might try to bring out my Dodge Demon to see if I get any bites on it. I'll be looking for your truck for sure.

I'm planning on going early to get a good spot by the grandstand where the rats go. I'll be there all day. Should be a big show since the weather looks like it'll be good
