I'm with this guy ^^^^^!

ok so what's the update?!?!?!?

Funny you should ask. I finally got free time to work on it. Between work, flying to vegas, and family trips I've had no time. Finally worked on it last night a little. after the body drop it left the ext cab area open to the elements with only plastic panels keeping out the elements. That doesnt work for me so I decided to skin it.

Before all open and dumb lookingSide sheet-metaledAnd now all sealed up. Finish welding and smoothing and Im good to go.

I'm going to try to head out today and work on it a little more today. Got several shows I want to go to and the first one is coming up fast. Better get after it!

And now my motor dilemma. Want to keep a stock hood but really doubting it. You can see it above the fender. Weighing my options

--------------------------------------------

You could lower the motor and run an edelbrock air filter, they are pretty low profile and work great. You will most likely have to fabricate a new base plate for it to mount to your throttle body, but its a great affordable alternative. But I'm with everyone else do what it takes to keep a stock hood on it. Here is a pic of my wifes truck with the Edelbrock filter....

Your Truck looks killer BTW!

Thanks man! I unbolted the motor mounts this week end and let the motor down to its lowest possible point before i hacked up the header and oil pan and to be honest some parts of the motor will clear and some wont. if I still have to cut the hood some I probable wont take the time of dropping it. I will probably just build a hood for it sadly. the lower half of the body on the damn trucks is just so small and the motors tall.
