Got rid of alot of the micro scratchs that just form over time, only thing I didn't buff was the wheels, windows & the roll pan. I orignally was only going to do the tail lights but I did the whole truck instead. lol











Hasn't been this reflective since I have owned it.

Haven't driven it yet to see if it solved the issue. Then I did one of the ultimate tbi mods, took the silencer thing out of the box in my stock intake, definetly opened it up more, from 2" to 4" and I did take the little flap thingy & make it were its permantly open so no more waiting for it to open when the engine is warm enough. Then fixed my under the hood light so now it turns on everytime you open the hood, instead of having to flick it to make it turn on.

Inside fender shot.






Had to make a few relief cuts with a soldering iron, since my knife disappeared.


The silencer thing that was inside the air box.






I have the heat riser flap permatly set open so I don't have to wait for the sensor thing to open it. I need to get the grinder back from my grandpa so I can get the rivots out & drop the whole mehcanism out of the breather & then cap it off.


My charcoal canister needs to be replaced.
