Well While I am trying to figure out a fuel pump to get fuel from the tank to the injector....

I de chromed the water pump..added a strip of plastic up front so the tank would fit right and the radiator be straight. So now I am working on getting the hood to cab fit to be a better looking thing than it is....I have a bit more sanding to do but its getting close.

 

Thanks for looking!

I feel your pain on matching the hood/fender to the flairings. I finally just scribed them off the doors, glued them to the fenders, puttied and sanded  . Then it was a good fit, changed the look of the front assembly.

Thanks for looking and thanks for all the comments!

What color is that green Dave?   I like the satin look to it or is that the lighting tricking my eye?   cheers, tim

Dave... This is sure coming along nice. I am loving that Green you decided to paint it with. Looks like this should be done in time for the DSC ;)
