    Put the hood on.. I painted it black with some old ppg I had... Pet it set inside for 3 days then put it outside.. There's literally 50 cracks in the paint.. Not filler.. The paint, never seen this happen before.
    Also took out a small chunk of temp rubber fuel line off and replaced it with braided, waiting for a couple plugs to arrive and about to search online for some 115*'plug wires

    bought a bunch of pipe..and made my own exhaust..look good but sounds better..was a little interesting..building exhaust was a first for me. but its all hung and bolted up - started the car, sure sounds good!
    now just to wire up a stereo as the one i bought used and apparently it doesn't work that well and then im off to the races, literaly.

    I dropped a suitcase on the front fender when I was getting it out of the attic. Maybe standing on the hood of the truck and pulling a suitcase out of the attic opening wasnt a good idea. Didnt see any dmage though. Next time Ill get a ladder.
