So most of June was dedicated to getting the project to actually run. success was achieved in late June after having the fuel injectors cleaned and draining out all the old gas from circa 2003. Someday I may post video of the mutliple trials that it took. The first trip around the block on July 1 probably killed any mosquitos within a half mile. It has been running OK since and i've logged about 30 miles of around town driving with no front fenders or hood. Other happennings since the last post...

• wiring is about 90% complete
• LED tail/backup lights mounted in modified taillight "buckets" that were purchased off e-bay. Taillights also required a converter to get the signals correct for combined tail/signal.
• Mirrors mounted and wired (electric remote). These are aftermarket replacements intended for early 90'd ford pickups that were the last to have wind wing windows. The fun part was the support arm that sticks into the door that you don't see.
• Fenders and hood installed for now, may have to come off for final body work etc.

On the to do list....

• Front and rear bumpers
• trailer hitch (I found one at a Phoenix junk yard )
• front and rear side marker lights
• finish wiring... interior lights speakers, center brake lights etc.
• tires/alignment/full suspension check
• roof insulation, headliner
• final body work
• interior and exterior paint
• door panels
• mechanical checks/fixes, I think it has a few minor leaks
• A/C check/re-charge/repair?
