Have you had it out in your back 40 testing things out? A few different characteristics with the diesel huh?
Are you still going to make a hard top? What's next?

Connecting all the gauges is next.
I have to finish the hardtop panel. The sun beating down on me got old so I ordered the canvas top from ocdbeetle here on MUD for short term.
I hope to take it to the rock park tomorrow afternoon (Sunday) to see how it does with the diesel.

I am to the same point on this as mace is his race car. I can work on it for 12 hours straight and get 100 things done but I would have to point them out in a picture.
I'm on the downward slide of this project.
Two friends/club members came out sunday to check on my progess and ended up helping me for about 8 hours. I literally have about 200 little 20 minute jobs to do and they got a lot of things wiped off the dry erase board.
Pics soon.

A better picture of the rear hoop over the shock. This is taken with you feet behind the right rear wheel and you head under the bumper on the other side of the rig (USA Driverside).
Bottom picture is the rear undercarrage you would see if you were driving a low rider type vehicle.

Gauge Clusters are bolted down, wired in and plumbed in eccept for the air tank pressure gauge. I will be installing a second air tank just because it is laying around the shop.
Bottom pic is the CB radio. I got the idea when hanging out with the Tall Corn Cruiser guys on a trip back to Iowa. Overton had the CB mounted like this and uses his rear view mirror to look at it. EricS said it worked great.
This also meets Mark W's recomendations of no electronics mounted below the dash.

While in plumbing mode, I decided to fab up and get a heater ready to install.
Take an Older Metal heater box and cut the fresh air intake off.
