Head is built and on the motor. Torqued down to spec and valve lash adjusted. Gonna finish the rest tomorrow and hopefully get it in it!

Daaaamn! Not too shabby if I do say so myself 
It's going to be too pretty to wheel (and actually, I've done that... it took me too long to build a 54 Studebaker as a 4x4, so when it was done - I'd have been boony bashing irreplaceable steel)...
however, despite my detour, I must say that you do nice work

7 inch HIDs wired in. IPF harness and lights wired up. All the lights horn ect. Keyed power. Battery and tray in (only one side right now) boost hose hooked up. Pyro wire hooked up. Gonna get more done tomorrow
I like those lights. Thinking a set would look good on my '40 (not to mention being able to see at night would be good too)...

The arb LEDs are a lot nicer lights and brighter but once these ones warm up they are really bright I love these things! And not to mention a fraction of the price of the arbs. (Assuming we aren't talking about the normal lights haha)
I will never use another light that isn't LED. I have a 288w bar on my Hummer, and replaced the headlights with LEDs... thus, I'm kind of spoiled when it comes to night vision. With the '40 I'm building, I simply want to build it in better - the nice bit about the ARB (or its knockoffs) is they are easier to package on a narrow front end.
I like LEDs enough that I'm replacing the head lights on my 75 Corvette with LEDs... I plan on using the same light on the '40...

I love LEDs they really are awesome lights. I spent my bucks on hid because the LED craze wasn't huge then so I really didn't know much about them. A good friend of mine has a 50 inch on the tower of his boat and we took it up to my families cabin and got there at night. Went to pull it across the beach ( of course the tractor doesn't have lights) so I had him flip that on and it flooded the whole beach. Very impressive and it was about the cheapest Chinese one there is

All this talk of LEDs.....
How do LED's do driving in the snow? I love the light they put out, but worry that they won't produce enough heat to melt the snow when I'm driving in it.

LEDs put out a lot of heat - but not from the light, from the controller. I learned the semi-hard way (it didn't cost me anything) that if you put the controller in the engine compartment, it will overheat then stop working... now, they're mounted to the side of the light housing - time will tell (no snow yet) if that is enough to keep the snow off.

I figured I would spare everyone from the wiring but I have been pulling wires lately, got a radiator and installed it and as of tonight I have my triple pod mounted and all mounted in. 5th gear but fix done on the nv4500 along with resealing done and fuel lines have been rerouted to the drivers side and all hooked up
