Oh yes, I am sure there will be plenty of pictures. I do enjoy showcasing my work and hopefully somebody may be helped by it. Thanks for taking a look!

Getting REALLY anxious to get to work! Ordered pneumatic regulators today for the VGT control, stay tuned for that.

Going to go ahead and order the M&H timing spacer and smoke control device to give the pump a bit more clean power. Anyone have experience with either?

Also heading out to get the other parts I need later today, hopefully the guy has pretty much everything I need

Alrighty, finally picked up the parts for the rear brake swap (O'reilley's special!).

So here I have the caliper, rotor and bracket all together. Pretty excited to get this on there.

The rotors are 1.25"x12.5"... kinda blew my mind. Not sure what I was expecting, but definitely was not expecting this big.

And a few of the best finds I got from the plunder yesterday:
Got a new cat toy.... Err a mint HVAC control (mine had a melt spot from a light) and a mint Cummins control panel (whatever you call that):

And got a MINT grille which I was rather surprised to pick up. It's from an old army truck, so it's painted olive green, but I don't care, I will be painting it black or grey anyway.

The rotors are the front rotors of a '77 Chevy K20.
