I ordered a filter relocation kit and a cobra head intake. Have to wait a couple days I might end up starting it anyway.

Nice. It is always good to get it running again after all the hard work that you have put into it. Congrats!

There is still work to be done, but it's so purty.

Installed that remote oil filter kit from pacbrake. There still isn't very much clearance, so I may have to modify that cobra head intake.

Not really big on where the oil filter is but I'm running out of locations to put stuff with the flip front.

I also finally replaced those nasty air shocks with some load leveling ones.

Yep, I see that. Between the front flip clip and the Turbo, you're running out of options on where to place stuff. But, so long as it all gets in there, all is well.

I installed those coil over shocks on mine and donated a pair to a member here. They work ok. But I would really like to put my original shocks back on and add a set of air bags.

Yeah, I'm not much for coil overs either. Shocks are shocks to keep the tire on the ground and control bounce, not provide weight support. To much weight on those shock mounts isn't good. The weight IMO needs to be carried on the springs and/or bags.
