But don’t we need a good reason to get the new hi-po goodies?

 

[Lokian]

Who says you need an engine hoist?? put the jd to use

 

[ctuinstra]

I hear that.

They also come in quite handy for this as well..

Pulled valve cover and replaced water pump and timing set. Looked pretty clean inside. Snapped one of the longer water pump bolts due to herculean efforts

 

[Lokian]

Been slacking... started painting engine... sandblasting bolts and powder coating parts

Transmission painted and powdercoated. I cerakote'd the bolts to see how they last after cleaning and sandblasting. Then I saw that considering it's an F23... I need to cut the counter weight... after powder coating.

Are you looking for fuel filler and cap or is this just on the list of things that need modify and refinishing?

That one is modification and part that I already ordered.

 

[Yustas]

You do not need stock cable bracket also. DF will provide another one.

Care to share any pics? That’s a nice spot for a custom touch.

Looks like we are running neck in neck, We will be getting our kits at the same time, Do you plan on doing any modifications to the frame?

Not sure yet. I'm not a welder and do not know anyone that does. I would like to do the floors with diamond plate but not sure of anything else. Are you?

probably steel. What are these mounts you speak of?

The fuse block really needs a tab welded on to clean it up. The clamp and L bracket work good to accommodate the different fuse blocks but it doesn’t look the best.

I'm putting different LED tail lights on for example, Tabs for the side panels and possibly the floor so they are removable. Will prob drill holes in the tubes and fish the tail light wires through them,,, The more time I spend on this forum the more good ideas I see,

I was thinking the same with floors and side panels... rivnuts.. easier to take off and replace if needed. only thing I haven't thought about is what to use instead of silicone to dampen the sound.

Closed cell adhesive backed foam. You can buy it from MSC by the roll in just about any width
