Picked up a new grill, painted and installed it but need to go back and get the headlight surrounds. I also hung the new exhaust and tinkered with the carb a bit. Slowly but surely I might finish this thing someday.

Changed my fuel filter and spark plugs today after months of frustration. It changed my truck from a gutless old junker, to a roaring, violent monster. I see new tires in my future, as I am having wayy too much fun squealing the current set everywhere.
Tomorrow's plans: clean my EGR, to get rid of the pesky check engine light.
