After checking plug wires, coil wires, etc, and pulling my hair out last night. I decided to focus on the front end. I knocked out putting the stock spindles back on, now measures about 5.5" at the fender like I originally planned on. Goes in and out of the shop without dragging...all is right in static drop land.
Have to make a trip to Topeka tonight to get the ECU reflashed and then I'll start working on the valve cover issue and hopefully have my wheel tubs and ring to finish the light holes in the bed. Tomorrow may be another emergency day off to get some more accomplished, so close, and it would be rad to have the bed painted for the show.
In other news, the heat pump install is almost finished in the shop. Missed the need for the cooling side this year, but the heat will be nice this winter. My father-in-law stopped by yesterday when they were finishing up for the day and said they had the fan blowing and it was moving a lot of air.
