Looks like a beast!! You prolly mentioned it, and I’m the moron that missed it.......

Why did you set the engine so far back? Twin turbos? Weight distribution? You like working on vans .....

I wish I had half your talent and more time. Oh, and your shop walls.....ridiculously awesome!!

been too wet and too cold to do the final painting.
i havnt even sanded it yet.
i dont want it to sit forever once i break the "skin"

my fuel system isnt here yet.
and my **** glaucoma has been stride with stride on not feeling the best.

had a generator failure in the shop, and lots of water issues lately.

sadly, i havnt done much.
weve got rain forcasted for the next 2 weeks, so im just gonna play it by ear.

i am farting around with the wiring a bit.

It’s always a time suck. I hate it too, but it’s super satisfying to know it’s done right.

Looking good! I shared this with my brother as he is building a Ranchero of the same era currently.
did you show him the next chero build im planning? OM617 with a full frame
