Wasn’t happy with turbo setup. So I spent the day getting it right.

Time order an intercooler? Radiator? AC condenser?

You are definitely going to fill up the hatch with the trimmings there jb!

Nope, it's starting to look like a Freightliner up front! I'm in awe - no shyte.

I believe you are correct. Much smaller space than it looks. I have dipped a measuring tape in that engine bay in excess 100 times. Geezzzzzz:-)

That opening off the grill is only 20x18. Ever tried to find a Radiator, Intercooler and AC condenser to fit in a max space of 25 x 25 x 9.5. I have been weeks researching this(reason for no progress). But the order was put in this morning. We will see:-)

Hey, way it is going, no telling what the heck this thing will look like:-). Right?:-)

Wasn't there a John Wayne movie. "The War Wagon?"

[bmorgil]

Great old movie, John Wayne as the legendary Taw Jakson. Fits right in. This rig will "Taw" a big load!

War wagon is fitting for this build. JB's vision is a lot like John Wayne branded toilet paper.....Rough and tough, and doesn't take crap off anyone.

On another note JB, I have not received a response from the guy in Montana on the door handles and windshield divider. The search continues.

The suspense is Killing me jb!!!!
I bet you can’t wait to turn the key the first time.
I know what mine was like after 3 or so years

Some might not like this, but part of the initial build plan. Not intended to upset those doing original builds. The originals are much cooler, worth way more and everyone like originality(including me:-) )

Drilling some BIG HOLES through the Orange.
