Ooooohhhh, progress !  If that Raptor Liner is anything like what they sprayed in my P/U bed, I feel sorry for you being enclosed in the garage with it.  Mine made me light headed standing in the bed, outside in the summer 2 days after they'd sprayed it!

From the looks of your battery shut-off, you're gunning for skunks now? :o

Lookin good there chief.
I don't know if I missed or have just forgot, did you ever get the air leaks in the tires fixed?
Now that it's gittin close to rolling time it will be important.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb.  I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

I can't explain it. I can only observe the fact that that tire is not leaking or at least it doesn't seem to. And the weather turned colder then it stopped, and it was inflated for months and so forth, but beyond that, I don't know why it's working fine now??!!

Ash, you bet!

Hit the starter today and the engine turned over...first time...just testing circuits.

So today was spent on getting electrical power and getting more wiring in.

Starting with this huge solenoid which will switch batteries or link them together depending on what I decide

Poor pic quality tonight. I wasn't paying attention and didn't have the thing in auto, so they all appear darker than they should

The solenoid takes both batteries, and I wanted to reuse the factory starter cable. I don't know what size it is...0 or 00!

I cut the terminal end off of it and soldered it to the new cable and end

All that mess inside will get tidied up in time, but for now, the name of the game is just get the stuff in there!

Here is where the power steering cooler gets tucked in. There is no where else I am comfortable with at the moment. The location will complicate things, as I will have to open up the fender to gain access and provide cooling air

Looking at your steering cooler placement, a fender scoop could direct air across it, or a flexible hose similar to brake cooling ducts might solve your need for a hole?

Looking closer to completion with every post!

Well, I'll still need access to repair leaks, change the filter, clean the cooler, and do periodic inspections.

I could open a hole in the wheel well as well...

Looking good BD as is the norm.

Jeusssssssss, just add a little fuel to hear it pop at least.

I was thinking ducting all the time too. Something right from the grill or off the side of the shroud? That way you get air fast or slow like the radiator.

Talking to Duane this morning about the need for a hole in the fender. I was looking for a source for this strong stainless wire mesh that was riveted to panels on our aircraft to allow for cooling air, when he suggested louvres.

As in hot rod louvers found on old hot rods, and on that old dodge truck build known affectionately as the "War Wagon."

Nuff said. He searched the internet while chatting and sent me a link...the rest is history

Here's what I just ordered...The big set will go on the hood. Either the angled or straight ones will go over the hole that will be made in the fender. The other set might find it's place directly above the turbocharger, and perhaps in the side of some fender.

They come predrilled and include button head stainless hardware and are formed from .050" thick aluminum.

The goal is to get all that hot air our and away from the thing that makes it...

Those will both look and function great!  Should draw air nicely while moving with air flow hitting 90*

I think so Mike.

One thing is that buying those ready made panels keeps the fab time to a minimum. When they get here, All I'll really have to do is to cut the openings, install the nut-serts, paint them up and install them

I have seen those used on a few builds, good idea.

You know with the hood off you could just have added to your hood. But then again with everything else bolted on and hanging out on SD whats a few more on the hood.

Got a few more hours in on the project today.

First I had to address the misalignment of the fender and the door

Look how much space I have and how it widens out at the bottom more than the top:

The problem is that the radiator core support is too high. Without knowing the height it needed to be, I guessed, installing a tall poly bushing. That has to change and the core support needs to be moved into a proper position to fit the fenders.

This new Chinaman's fender is about 80% what an American fender is. Look at the top lip, how far it is off. Also I'll need to shim the thing so the trim lines align mo-better-er

I had inadvertently welded it to the original fender. I finish welded it while it was attached and my hot welds burned through make it a permanent addition to the fender, and hopelessly warping the fender from all the heat.

I cut it off, so now I had to grind all those welds away to get rid of the extra layer of steel
