Barring any major malfunctions during initial startup I'm planning to go live with my COE in a week or less.
 There is a show about 40 minutes away on Memorial Day weekend that I want to make.
 Wiring is nearing completion, need to install radiator and windshields.
 Had to relocate horn set (from a Saab) to a new location instead of the one I wanted because of radiator interference.
Waiting on new speedometer drive to stop the leaks from the TH400. Need to mount left running board and apron.
Found some really cool quick fasteners to mount the fiberglass hood . http://www.quik-latch.com/polished-mini-quik-latch.html

Just got it operational for a show. The next day I tore down the rear brakes and differential.
 Brakes were grabbing and I'm changing the ratio from a 4.10 to a 3.21 or 3.42.
Truck is far from finished but it's fun as-is.
My fourteen year old daughter made the video for me.
