I should be around all weekend, so swing by anytime Dan. I don't have a use for the booster, but I appreciate the offer.

Re: Good start to a project...

I was just at Chris' House... Guys you really need to see this truck... I is so cool... This 6 popper is awesome like a Diamond sitting in its case... The last 2 pics are them putting an original Chrome Cal Custom Fan on the truck...

Chris is a great guy and I enjoyed sitting and talking with him and Brent... I wish Brent would have had his truck there...

When he gets the carbs and breathers on there it will be real eye candy won't it? As my nephew says "it's the berries". I think that is good.

Re: Good start to a project...

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I had this vision for this truck since I saw it for sale on Craigslist. I love having trucks that show some character on the body, sit right, and are super reliable. I don't like having something I can't drive...anywhere. Plus I like to add some detail in some areas.

I took Thursday and Friday off work this next week so I can get some work done, so I'll update then.

Re: Good start to a project...

A few quick pics. Almost done, just need to put the PS pump on, get some vacuum caps for the carbs, and tweak a few pieces on the throttle linkage. It's not getting full throttle right now. you can see in the one pic the nice bracket my buddy made to mount the bell crank off of.

I'll get more pics of the linkage when it's finished. Sorry for all the crappy cell phone pics, I lost my nice camara in the divorce!

I hope I don't pull my hair out getting the tuneup right, this is my first time monkeying with multiple carbs...and my last with Monojets. The throttle blades working perpendicular to the throttle rod is a pretty big PITA! This thing would have been running two weeks ago if it wasn't for the linkage and fuel lines.

But I'll keep you posted!
