Well she is finally done and off to her home in the Bay Area.
The owner threw a rod on his 3FE and figured it was a perfect time to upgrade the Cruiser the way he has always wanted.
Here is his Daily Driver/Expedition Build...

Optima Red Top with Trail Outfitters Custom Optima Box
Basically completely rewired everything in the vehicle due to some "funny" wiring
Custom trans cooler lines, oil cooler, and power steering cooler lines
Custom exhaust with Flowmaster muffler
WORKING AC
Basically everything under the hood was customized
