That's a good looking truck.
Thanks, guys. A little progress.
Coil relocation brackets made.
Made a valley cover out of 1/4" aluminum sheet and painted. I made this because the factory LS1 valley cover has 2 large holes for knock sensors. I also used some button head bolts for a cleaner look.
Oil pan painted Cast Coat Aluminum. Front Cover painted a cast iron color. Hard to tell the difference in these pics.
those header are snug, huh.

Yep. lol
cut that trans ear.....keep the headers.
Things are just moving slow lately. It seems like I just get in a hurry to wait at this point.
I had all my bolts powdercoated. Bad idea!! I've never had anything powdercoated, so I didn't know it was so thick. I've ordered some stripper from Eastwood to remove it all, but again, I'm waiting for it to get here. There's a place up the road from me that does nitriding. I'm going to see what that's gonna cost me before I decide what to do with the bolts again.
I did get the ears trimmed on the trans. to clear the exhaust tubing, then painted it.
Finally got the frame painted and installed the engine towers.
And just because I didn't have anything else to do, I stuck everything on just to see how it was all going to look together.
