This build looks sick man. I wish I had the time/money/place to do this to my own k5. Can't wait to see it finished. Btw I like the grill mounted on the wall

I usually don't have a problem with people who are better than me at stuff, but this is ridiculous. I am thoroughly impressed. Not only with your ability, but with your documentation. It's like reading the ultimate picture book! Especially well done on the fender idea. I look forward to seeing it develop further.

'thanks guys! money has been tight so I get a chance to work out the little nick nacks.

I need a fuel filler w/ cap from a diesel blazer or truck. If anyone comes across one let me know...
