Been making good progress. I put the box back on and built some simple risers for the cross sills out of 4" rectangular tubing. At the back of the box I bought a new rear cross sill and chopped up my original one to fill the gap for the raised bed floor.

I was able to fire up the engine for the first time. It felt like a huge accomplishment to idle it out of the garage with no hood and open headers. I then washed off 8 years of dust. It will get painted at some point but for now I want to enjoy driving it this summer.

Next up is taking it in for exhaust and alignment.
