The color is out of the can!!

The color is still in the can, and yes the rain sucked I just need a bigger shop.I will try again today.

This is what I call the snowball effect. The clutch and airbrake job turned into this. Took it down further than I planned but it needed it. Sandblasted and primed it today Will try to put the color on it tomorrow which will be 34052.

Just got around to changing out valve springs. But before I finish Im going to have the pump and injectors bench tested. Hopefully I will be installing the engine on Thanksgiving Weekend.

Bolted the engine in today. The only correction that I need to make is the amount of sand, it only took about 3000 lbs.

Started working on this 5 ton over a year ago for a good friend of mine. It's been sitting on jack stands since November of last year. So this 3 day weekend I got busy. Sometime this week I will set the engine back in.
