Looking at your wiring gives me a headache, you are not easily defeated!

Very cool. We just got back from Hot August nights in Reno, it was fun. The really high end show cars didn't show this year, unless they were in a different place than last time.

Awesome, AC is a game changer in the heat. Now you have a usable truck.

Wonder if that belt was meant for a different pully. Mabey the pitch of the sides or the width is slightly smaller.

Painting can be such a *****. It's such a feel thing and if you don't do it all the time with the same materials it's tough to get a good result. Temp has a big effect too. I've usually been able to fix a not great clear coat with a color sand and buff but if the metallic isn't sprayed super...

So how did you get the tire on the rim?

I had a caliper bolt come loose on my v8 miata build. I could only back up, I had to back down the street a couple blocks to find a place to pull over. Was able to get a bolt at a hardware store to get me home.

Oh god that sounds like a wiring nightmare! When I reworked my 5.3 harness I was sweating on that first startup, didn't want to have to go through all those wires again. Your engine is newer with an even thicker harness. Hope you got it figured out, wishing you good luck.

I've been lurking on here for a couple years watching your progress and struggles with your project. Congratulations on a fantastic truck, what an accomplishment it is. Please don't sell it. As beautiful as it its it still should be driven. Enjoy! I can relate in a small way having built a ford...

I recently tried a Diablo 36 tooth wood and meatal carbide blade for my regular circular saw. I worked beautifully for cutting some 18 guage sheet metal, so much cleaner and faster that using the 4.5 inch angle grinder. It's only 21 bucks for the blade at home depot too.
