No, not at all. We're pushing for the end of January to have it completed. It might end up being a real push with the list of "to-do's" we still have. And the entire thing is getting stripped down and re-painted.

Working on a new intake tube. We wanted to reduce the couplers in it to give it a clean look, so we machined a piece that fits over the throttle body and we're going to use an o-ring seal and a few set screws to hold it tight. There's also a bracket that bolts to the front of the accessory drive to hold it firmly in place as well.





We also machined an end for the opposite side that the rubber coupler slides over, but the aluminum is flush with the outside of the rubber and the clamp. Kind of hard to see in this picture.



Also started on a fuse box cover and filter mount.

Built this do-dad to cover up the alternator. We were just going to have it polished or chromed and put it back on, but we wanted something that might have a more factory look to it and be different then everyone else.



Here it is in place:



And we also finished up the drivers side inner fender and fuse box cover and air filter mount.

We recently acquired a Pullmax so it was time to put it to use. We built the dies and then built these coil covers to make everything look better and give a better look to the engine.





We also machined our own hardware to hold it on.

The air flow meter stood out quite a bit and needed something, so we built this. We still had to make it easy to remove as you have to remove the filter and air flow meter to access the fuse panel, so we have to where you remove one clamp and two screws and your in! Not quite a easy as stock but I guess that's the sacrifice you make.
