Re: Check out the work in progress

yea the only time she comes out is in the summer and thats only from 1 apr till like aug cause ounce it gets cold they start throwing rocks on the ground and it hurts me when i find a new paint chip or scratch cause of that.. thank you for your service... where you stationed at whats ur MOS im a 13B (FA) anyways guess gonna have to goto the local shop here and see what they got for me which will prob be much of nothing... any ideas of how to run a second alternator i mean i might have to cut into the hood and put a sccop on it for the second alternator if i did do that exspecially when i do the k20 swap cause of clearance issues.. not really but i took off my fenders and the only hard thing was aligning the doors( i did it myself) just before you take of your hinges tape down the door so that it wont move when you take off your stock hinges and put the kit init will work better thats the way i did it with the second door and had no problems with allignment

Re: Check out the work in progress

make sure your grounds are 1/0 as well if that's what your main power wires are. at least the main ground from the battery to the chassis. this gets overlooked a lot.
