Looks great! Question for you... when you spliced your coolant hoses to make them longer, how did you splice them? I'm trying to move my coolant bottle to the firewall and can't seem to find any fittings that are 1".

I'm gonna venture a guess here...either you are a pipe fitter by trade, or you were one in a previous life! I'm not nearly patient enough to cut and weld pie-section elbows like that! Freakin awesme job man! :thumb:

I was at the test and tune too and the truck runs very well! I'm pretty sure he had a truck load of people the second time he went down the track

not a pipe fitter but i do my fair share of welding pretty regulary.
yeah had 4 people in the truck the second time down the truck, ran great tho. i built a big bowtie weight bar about 6' wide so i had a lot of weight in that to.
i have some pics ill upload them soon hopefully.
