BK, thanks for the heads up! I'll have to follow up on Instagram.

Hope everyone has been doing well with their projects. I've got the motor out of my Wagon currently, giving her a refresh with rings, bearing and a new cam. I'm also installing some much needed AirLift bags on the rear to compensate for the weak springs. My oldest son and I are going on the Hot Rod Power Tour in June and we can't wait. Our goal is to complete the Long Hauler schedule, all 7 cites in 7 days. Should be a blast with 6-7K muscle cars and trucks.

Well I've been touching her up over the past two months getting ready for the Power Tour, and its time to hit the road. The motor is all refreshed with new rings and bearings, Howards Roller Cam and valve train, new Edelbrock Performer intake with a 750 Quick Fuel carb. She sounds sweeeeet and has gobs of torque. Upgraded the brakes with a Wilwood master cylinder and new booster. I've also modified a US Flag to make it fit the top. I think its ready. Anyone going to visit any of the Tour cities next week? If so, come by and say Hi!

Wow. That is too pretty to get dirty. I had my doubts when I started reading about the project, but I have to admit. It came out really nice. Congrats.

Thanks Ox, I appreciate it! I too had my doubts but kept with it. I've been paid back by sooo many great comments, it made it all worth while. And I'm loving the truck. Its a blast to drive.
