Well done. No tunes or postponed til later?

Radio delete came with the truck. It was/is remarkably complete.

Not gonna do tunes right at first. When I do will put it in the console.

Also paint today was an epic fail. I am not a finish painter.

I'm just gonna go to the powder coater next week and get them to get as close as they can to the Toyota 0031 paint.

That truck you guys spotted and posted up in Jackson had a cream colored top on it and it looked good.

Did you ask Todd what color they powdered his wheels?

Did you ask Todd what color they powdered his wheels?

Yeah he said he went to the powder coat shop and they had two whites. Picked out the less bright of the two.

Which is exactly what I'm gonna do now.

Thanks, making progress. Hoping to have the electrical and fuel system ready and be able to crank her with the key by the weekend.

Still having trouble with the Weber gas pedal install though. Can't seem to make it right...

My pedal had to be spaced out if I remember right (been 13 years). The Weber/pedal install was done when my motor was rebuilt. What is the problem with yours?
