Don't have any space to do any of the work until the end of the month.... REALLY don't want to wait that long........
 
Gonna be awesome man! But i feel ya on the waiting thing. Im getting my tires, wheels, blocks, and spacers next week and I might have to wait 3 more weeks til I can get them on! :(
 
Are the napkins to wipe up the drool over the next 3 weeks while that stuff site there?:icon_thumby:
 
I'm debating about buying a generic explorer CAI off ebay so I can REALLY hear the blower scream once this is all installed. Right now it has a K+N Panel in the stock box (Punched out the silencer, and made the hole much larger on the air box)

Its my kitchen table rofl..... I have my own townhome so I can put what I want, where I want :-D

but yes... there is quite a bit of drool on the table... I had a small pile of parts like 2-3 weeks ago, but now its turning into a mountain...
 
Dan, Did I ever give you that link to the guy in your area who does great head work? Looks like you might have picked up that cowl hood also. Aat least now you have a good DD and knowing how fast you work when motivated, shouldn't take you long to get motor back and running. Good luck!

You may have... Go ahead and send it again (I need to ship you this CPS still... Its on my kitchen table as well now......)

I'm picking up the hood in like 2 and a half weeks since we are both free then finally, but its already considered sold :yahoo:

I'm going to try my hardest to knock this out over a 3 day weekend at my buddies place the last weekend of this month (where my engine stand and lift is stored)

Going to also try and POR15 as much of the frame as possible....
 
Whoa, Don't forget to have fun, 3 days is fast.
How did you make your cowl hood? Which brand?
 
Too much stuff, now consuming the living room floor...
