I hear ya! Seems like everything takes longer than you expect. I made a list today and I have 42 tasks left. Some are easy and some are time consuming. Ive got 13 days to get it on the road. Probably going to start life without the hardtop to save time.
I will get some new photos up after the weekend.

Heres a couple more photos. Almost done, Wiring is pretty much sorted, finishing that up tonight, then firing it up. Still gotta a few things to do but its going to the exhaust shop on Wed and then on the trailer Thur to the FLRC rally...God willing!
Sorry the photos are small. I cant figure it out for some reason. Gordo

Looking great Gordo. Awesome to see how much progress it's had in such a small amount of time. Don't worry, we're all still reading this thread, and salivating as usual for more pics, to see how it comes along. Have a good time, at the FLRC rallye. Hope the hybrid makes it.

Hey guys, sorry no new photos as Ive been humping away until the wee hours of the night. Happy to report the truck is running and driving now. Took it into the exhaust shop today and will get it back tomorrow to finish the last few things. Thank the Good Lord for friends as Ive had a lot of help over the last week getting it together. It looks awesome. The only issue Im having is that the brakes are not right. I believe the servo is toast which is the only thing I didnt replace in the brakes! Thankfully Ive got an extra one. So unless something bad happens it will be at the FLRC on Friday. Wait I did find a few more photos of the cage install my friends wife took so here goes. Gordo

Hey guys, the photos are just starting to get posted from the FLRC rally. No videos yet but here are a couple photos. As you can see from the hood up photo the water was over the doorhandles a few times (note water line). Also I learned real quick to close the vents on the bulkhead in deep water, got soaked like a waterfall! Got a few quirks to fix but all in all it performed great! Thanks for the compliments. Gordo
