Well, I'm getting ready to go out of town but I couldn't resist getting my daily mod fix so I did a little work. The factory valve cover bolts here have a catch that won't allow the bolts to slide out of the seal/sleeve, I'm using the stainless bolt kit so they gotta go :
Nothing that can't be cured by some trusty boltcutters!:
Valve covers are on and MSD coil packs installed:
Thanks for the props everyone!

Note-To-Self...., come spring DO NOT assume that a certain 3rd Gen Blue convert is an easy kill.
Great work, looking forward to seeing it around Middle Tennessee.

ASAP. I want to get it done quickly , yet keep it detailed nicely . Can't have both unless I employ a NASCAR team and I don't have that kind of money.

I figured you could with the "crazy money" you get from Peterbilt. O well. I assume which way are doing it though, and you will enjoy it better in the long run if done that way.

Popped by our local shop today and decided I needed to buy 2 18"x 9.5" rear wheels to replace 2 of the 17" x 8" rims that were slightly bent from a misunderstanding with a pothole at 70 mph. I haven't decided yet if i want to put 18s on the front yet. Just spent 1g on 2 wheels in a mere few minutes.

Today , test bolted in the clutch/brake pedals and cut the holes in the firewall for the clutch linkage/cylinder to fit . As I've previously stated , this was an auto car so I had no provision for a manual . I bolted in the pedals, drilled the 2 outside holes to bolt in the cylinder using the support on the pedals as a template . After that , I removed the gasket from the cylinder and used it as a template to cut the center hole for the cylinder to go in the firewall . Afterwards , I cut the hole with a hand held air saw and deburred the holes for a nice flush fit. I needed to do this prior to painting the engine bay so I wouldn't chip the paint. This is what I ended up with. The cylinder is not round so this is why the hole is egg shaped. Test fitted everything , fit very nicely.
