thanks fred, and i'm sure you'll beat me...

i'm still gonna steel braid everything and still need to do new pulleys...

which reminds me...what's your source and how much do i need to borrow from the missus?

Sean...did you ever find a truck?

steve...the one that was near you went...and fast. i've yet to find a similar deal and I sold the Jeep so, i've got some spare change jinglin in my pocket...

Sean, those engines look great. Get that mutha fired up before summer is over!!

Since this seems to be a "fix my Cafe up" thread I have a question. Where the engine hatch contacts the bulkhead behind the bench seat there should be some kind of padding. I've tried "hatch tape" that you buy at marine stores, but it just comes loose or "walks". What do you all recommend??

Sean, Try "OLD COACH MOTORS" in Mt. Sinai. They have nothing but trucks there and have quality stuff. One of my drivers just bought an f150 and is very happy with it. I noticed some duallys there you may be interested in. There located on 25a accross from where Davis peach farm used to be. 476-3807, speak to Brian and tell him your a friend of Stan (Robbie's uncle). Can I borrow those motors for a couple of months?

fred...looking for polished or platinum finish...havent decided...

motors have new intakes, carbs, valve covers, exhaust...and i can't wait to hear them bad boys run...

as far as the hatch goes, i have noticed that mine has rubbed through the gel also and haven't looked at doing anything about it yet.

cig88, i've got a friend of a friend who goes to all the auctions in the area and he's got my order...we'll see how he does...but I'll give your guy a call in a week or so...thanks!

Thankd fred...just noticed your post and thought I's update the dash pics...
