Time for a Wash!

IT was nice out so i decided it was time for a wash and wax and a fine detail of the outside. I didn't get nearly as far as i wanted to. Washed the whole truck, buffed all the chrome and painted my rear drums and front calipers red. They were half covered with orange over spray so i need to make them all the same color.

I still have to sand all the runs out of the driver side and then buff and wax it. There's basically a run all the way along the truck following the body line , Also while it was taken apart and things were moved around in the garage it acquired some new paint chips and scratches that need to be touched up. The outside looks good they way it is right now but it could be a lot better.

I haven't even started cleaning out the interior as its covered in a lot of dust but i will get around to that sooner or later.

Current Project Update: Cold air Intake.

I purchased the intake kit from Ebay seller chromeintakes. I ended up paying 15$ for  the intake and 15$ for shipping for a total of $30. The install was very simple and only took 15 min.  I did however run into two problems.

The first problem was getting the rubber 3.5'' round grommet over the LT1's throttle body. A little soap and heat got it to slide over no problem.

The other issues was the 3.5'' hose clap they provided for the throttle body was about a 1/4 inch to short and would not connect. I solved this buy getting another very short hose clamp and putting them together to make one bigger out of of two.
