Weeeeeell im still waiting on a blue spring for my oil pump so I dont have insane oil pressure like last time. Still need that so I can finish the oil system on the engine. I spent the last couple days cleaning and painting all of the interior plastic pieces and worked a little bit on putting the interior back together. Before that I took out my PI torque converter from my silver truck and replaced it with a stock 80e one. Also switched out the 34" rad for the stock 28" one in my silver truck, and swapped the 05+ fans for the ls1 fans. The big fans and big rad are going in my white truck. Also replaced the 0 guage power wire on my silver truck for some more appropriate 4ga. I plan to reuse the 0ga for the big 3 on my white one.
Hopefully tomorrow I will have most of the interior finished which involves new carpet, the all black plastic pieces, getting my racing seats to work, dash back together, blah blah blah. After that I am taking the 10b out of the white truck, regear it, and put it in my silver truck so I can use the 14b on my white one.
Goal is to be driving by next weekend...

Because Richard has to because he is busy with stuff the rest of the year. 
Also there are some things I wont get finished in this next week just because of time constraint, like the all red LED interior (ac, radio, etc.). Still want a custom fuel cell that fits in the stock location, and a roll cage eventually...
And ive been collecting parts since March if it makes you feel better Jules

I have a ton of these pieces laying around drying. They are a bit shinier than I wanted but are much better than that nasty blue
Painting every surface so it all matches...
I think this is how it goes back together....I have my silver truck taken apart slightly so I can figure it out

Got a lot done today... finished painting the inside and the interior pieces. The rubber handle needs a bit of work, I think I need some primer or something because the paint is still tacky on the rubber coating...also finished painting the inside with flat black and got most of the interior in. Figuring out that wiring is not fun
Working on the seats now....I am going to reuse the stock seat brackets, but its going to be a bit more complicated. The spacing on the stock seats is 14.5" and the corbeau's are 13". Not to mention they need to be trimmed on the sides. No one ever posts how they make aftermarket seats work so I figured I may as well. My plan right now is to use some 3/8" steel plate bolted on the stock mount holes on the brackets, then have it welded and reinforced once I get it situated.
