I got back to work on the Speed Bump today after spending the last two weekends in Ft Lauderdale. I finished making/running the fuel lines from the tank to the carb today. I ran -8 braided stainless line from the tank to the filter/pump, then 1/2 aluminum line to the regulator, and finally -8 stainless to the carb.

I got the plugs and wires installed today. It was nice and sunny out so I opened the garage doors for a few shots. That Ford Blue really pops in the sunlight! :D

I decided to take advantage of the cab being off and took some pictures from the rear of the engine. 8)

I did some painting on the Speed Bump this weekend. I painted inside the cab, the inside of the doors and under the hood.

I got the cab and bed back on the frame. I also started coloring sanding the Speed Bump to get it ready to be buffed. :D

Paint looks nice. White always looks good on bumps. The pieces you powder coated, Did you do them yourself or send them out to be done ?

I powder coated them myself. I bought the powder coating gun from Harbor Freight when it was on sale and it works great with no issues.

I got some more color sanding done this weekend. I also ordered all the weatherstrip/seals so I can assemble it after it gets buffed out.
