Had a great time, especially with the meet’s entertainment…”Financial Mistake”

For future work, we're eyeballing re-doing the entire rear section. It's having some rust trouble, so sandblasting and repainting seems like the best option before it gets worse. However, while we're there it doesn't hurt to make some modifications. Due to the nature of this vehicle, there is a...

Long time no see. Spent winter break back home working on some small quality of life changes, including Yoda's ability to change her oil by herself. We found a leak of oil both on the lower oil pan and the distributer, and so those were swapped out. Along with that, a nice leak of tranny fluid...

found a bunch of deals out there.... sdhq has 20% icon, 15% fox, 15% king, but don't see products for 80 series.... will have to play around to see if they can get them. SDHQ Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals saw that method might have some deals coming too....

So, as some of you may now Yoda has had an oil leak problem. It’s not entirely obvious; but where I’ve been parking a large oil stain has appeared under the car. Yipee. So...being the smart idiot that @2fpower is he suggested to not only switch out the head gasket (it was quite obvious the leak...

Oh, and the sliders are off being re-grinded, sandblasted, and painted better than being rattle-canned...that is why they are missing from the picture

Alright, another small but darn-cool looking project was just finished today. It was a blast to get away from the stress of school and just life in general to go out and work on something that is more than just a car. After looking at pink dots and a black circle marks stenciling where the...

Do I recall that this kit was discontinued? can you only buy the full engine kit now? If so, does it include everything you need now?

While my old man was at a meeting I did 2 things, 1 was just easy, the other I'm very proud of: I tightened the steering wheel cover and I installed the truck bed top for the trip! In the last photo you can also see the jack mounts we installed yesterday!

I will take those and you can have mine!:rofl:

Finally I got some sound deadening pieces in for, well, sound deadening! If you didn't know that *slow clap* *slow clap* *slow clap*

Also got the rear axle put together thanks to the help of 2fpower and StucknKS! Also Started to clean the rug:

Today was a good day! Got so much done I don't even know where to start. Well, here goes. Just to get the small things out of the way I custom made a seal for the vents at the rear of the cab:

Today we were able to get the brackets and the spare tire in, the bracket to hold the gas tank, and my Yoda Bobblehead! We also started to try to fit in the Tuffy Box.

It's the best, I promise. Seeing it come together is amazing!
