I had my one day of freedom from the ship yesterday and was able to tow my heap home! I was hoping to be able to do more work on it but a little is better than nothing.

Here's an older pic of the hole I cut in the bed for the filler neck, It's a little off center and needs some tweeking before I can put a cap on it.





I did my one man show again when putting the bed back on, I have this procedure down to a science!





Anywho, when I got it home last night I put the front fender back on and bolted in the coolant tank, also took some pictures (sorry they are phone pics) of what the engine bay is starting to look like with all the plumbing close to being done. I ended up putting a second layer of ceramic coating on the DP and made it black. It used to be chrome, but now, with the way it is, all the hot parts are black ceramic coated and the entire Cold side is chrome ceramic coated.















Starting to look like a truck again...



Exhaust tip on the passenger side, I have painter's tape on it at the moment but it's black inside and out.
