Exactly. There’s a ton of pot holes because the road isn’t county maintained. I started patching them when I first moved in then people would haul *** down my street so I quit. There’s one just in front of my house that’s about 5’x7’x6-8” deep. That one needs filled bad.

 

Reminds me of Dallas the roads there sucked. Florida is pretty dang good considering the amount of rain we have.

 

Bought some touch up paint as my trucks always had allot of scratches and flaws in the paint. Also used some turtle color matching wax for black. It actually made quite a large improvement for a cheap product. The paint has allot of flaws and shows its age but the truck looks really good cleaned up some. I’m gonna spend a few more hours on it when I get some free time and wax the door jams. Also I’m looking for a black Sonoma hood to swap on it. Should look nice how they dip in a bit in the center section.

 

Can you post up some pics of the exhaust routing?

Been thinking about doing a through bedside exit on mine when I get it back from the body shop.

 

Kinda crappy pics but you get the idea. There’s a flex pipe before the muffler and I welded up a bracket on the exhaust to bolt it solid to the frame rail so it doesn’t move independently of the truck. I need to make a beauty plate for it but I’ve been slacking.

 

What size is your exhaust?

 

2.5” y pipe to 3” single

 

Thanks man. Gonna have to get my pile back and take a look and see if I can squeeze a 3.5" up there.

 

Should be able to I could have fit 4” in mine no problem but it’s a small motor and I had 3” mandrels laying around

 

I might have a line on a ls1 short block for $500 and 241 heads for $150. If the short block checks out that will end up going into my S10 and I got a guy who wants the 4.8l for a S10 build of his own so it should be a win win. With the right cam 400whp shouldn’t be hard to reach as long as the nv3500 holds up.
