Spent a couple hours out in the shop tonight. Built this shift lever arm for the c4, hooked up the BC kickdown cable. mounted the Toms twin stick. Starting to come together.

If you read previously in my build back to where I built the tranny cooling lines, I've now changed my mind. Here are pics of before and after. With advice from great members of this site I too didn't feel comfortable with hose clamps near the headers. Here is the fix. Thanks Summit

Anybody need to use my Rotisserie. I plan on placing the tub to frame soon?

 

[JDJ]

I could store it for you if you would deliver ;D

Rick,
Much better with the stainless lines but remember they will still conduct some heat. A small custom heat shield would still look pretty "cool" i think and keep fluid temps down a bit.

Thanks for the info on the welder.

Looking good!
Can you give me the details on the Summit hoses? I want to replace my old and twisted factory lines.

Later tonight I'll post a mini build thread, fittings,hoses etc. on the tranny setup. It took me a while and it was quite a pain to find all the correct parts to do these lines.

Thanks J-Man...

Bought a Raptor lining kit yesterday. Going to start taping off then spray this weekend. Then I can finally mount this pig onto the frame. Does anybody know the weight of a bare tube without front fenders or grill?

I traded a buddy for the wheels. The tires are brand new not 1 revolution on them. Unfortunately I can't use either wheel nor tires. Won't fit my uncut. 18" wheels, 35x12.50 tires Toyo M/T they are for sale if you want them.

Spent a couple hours last night sanding the underside of the tub, now ready for the raptor liner. Sanded and buffed out aluminum trim for the grill. Installed and looks pretty good for the old original stuff.

 

[sgtdcoulter]

Looking really good, blue color looks alot like Fordman's 1/2 cab that FOrdfan is painting.

Raptor Liner Done

Long night for me and Carson. Finished prep for the undercoat, scratch sanded and then masked the two fenders and entire tub. Wow that's a lot of damn work. Tape Tape and more Tape. Anyhow check out the pics turned out fantastic.
