As always beautiful work
Surely that scoop on the bonnet is planning for something every body are looking forward to.
Turbo mod's on the normal 4.2 liter pre combustion diesels we have in Africa does not work, as soon as you gun them a bit they overheat even with intercoolers the 1HDEFT is a different story.
Looking forward to the progress

Wayne-
I must say after spending the majority of my afternoon reading this entire thread, I find myself admiring the fabrication and the creative and well thought-out approach intended to exceed the desires of the customer - superb fit and finish!!....and always enjoying the beautifully detailed photos (cough) - I must say this is a truly amazing build and I can't wait to see more updates!
I also saw your job posting on here as well....I think you may have an applicant - if I could only convince the wife to move away from Colorado

thanks for the compliment.
Yes, Mitch has moved on to better pay. I wish him the best in his new job and the future.
Colorado is a beautiful State. I have been there more than once and if i lived there i am not sure i would move here for work.
Cool idea though.
the body is back in the shop and starting this week we should have some updates for those that are interested.
The owner is in Toronto the last week or so, and he came up to take a look at the build. i will leave commenting to him.
He is also thinking of coming up tomorrow and wrenching on his own truck for a few days. If he will allow it maybe i can post up some pics...

I've spent many hours over the last two days consuming every post in this thread. Simply amazing. My hat is off to you, Wayne, and I'm envious of the owner's soon-to-be-completed prize. 
It's even more interesting to me since my purchase of a Danish LHD turbodiesel troopy. So, your fine work is definitely food for thought.

You sir are a swine
That is a very nice truck congrats
Sure, Wayne. https://forum.ih8mud.com/vehicles-trailers-sale-wanted/549235-1986-bj75.html
I'm excited about the truck--it's being delivered this week by a fellow mudder. Sorry about muddying up your most excellent build thread.
Greg,
That's a great get out of hospital gift to yourself. I'm gonna have to stop by next time I'm in Houston.
