    Daily driver turbo

    I took the K20m to the body shop, and the 85 c10 to a diesel shop, so things are getting done. While I replaced the starter, batteries, glow plug controller, had the injector pump rebuilt.....I could not get the 85 running. I will run it for awhile as it is, this will be my Bonneville wood...

    Daily driver turbo

    I will paint the frame, so all the underside will be protected, hopefully for the rest of my life. Speaking of my life, Doc said Cancer is in remission, so full steam ahead. I may buy an exhaust manifold for the passenger side, to speed up the fabrication, though have Mig, and Tig welders, and...

    Underside of hood coating ideas?

    I am cautious about the hood, as you see so many that have been bent, so lube the pivot points, I agree with Todd, (Grit Dog), paint, doesn't add weight. I wash my motors a few times a year, so I do not like hood insulation because it does not stand up to the pressure washer, but hood sound...
