Agreed! That thing is just pure sex under there! I'm going to be doing some more body work on the Ty today, my goal is to have it done and complete for homecoming. :tup: Really don't have a whole lot left.

more than likely i will be reinstalling the air if i keep it. Plus I don't like the look of it removed looks uneven.

Last summer, started a Saturday adjusting the timing on the new dist. Moved the upper radiator hose out of the way for the timing light. Pushed it into the supercharger cog pully. Wore a hole. Drained coolant, put new hose on. Finished timing. Reconnected 'brown' wire under dash. Notice green leak. Drained coolant again. Changed heater core. Spent all day accomplishing one task.
One step forward...Two steps back.:rant:

Question on the L.E.D. dash light update. Are those capable of variable light output/dimmer capable. The light is much cleaner than OE incandescent bulbs. I do like the new look, but I find with night driving having bright dash light really screws with my night vision. I keep mine barely light to help me see out the windshield better. I do the same in all my vehicles. Unfortunately the aftermarket radio is bright as hell.
I am doing similar light conversions on the exterior lights for my 1940 Ford. I have found that flat white in the buckets/reflectors help light output over silver or chrome. Shiny silver stuff surprisingly helps very little. I have no pics to back it up though.

My dimmer needs to be replaced so I haven't been able to check, but other people say it works with the LEDs.

Ok, left to right.
3led for HVAC, 28led for cluster, 20led for autometer & glove box(may do 28 for glovebox if it needs more light) 8led for shifter, 15led courtesy (9led strait, 6led 360*)

This is the 28 in the autoM. I think the 20 looked about the same, color is different but it's reflecting off a silver face. I might order some red ones to try, but I'm trying to get away from colors and just have a nice bright/clean look.

Re: What did you do to your SyTy today? (part 2)
Yes, it does. Mine has it setup like that. LEDs have less current so the dimmer should live longer.
Also, did all this stuff.. 10 days off school

Cleaned the Ty yesterday using Turtle Wax Black Box which a member here suggested and then washed it to get ready for show todat at College of Staten Island but it is going to be rained out. Rain date is next Sunday but my son has a football game so we are not going to make this one. That's okay, truck still looks awesome, I thought about it and figure it had not been cleaned since the last show in September but how dirty can it get sitting in the garage.

Made a cold air heat shield & got it partially painted. Ran out of heat paint. Made a frame bracket so I can use SYCLONE#1531's engine torque strap on my supercharger setup. Started painting all the black exterior bits removed yesterday (handles, locks, antenna, wiper arms). Ran out of Trim Black paint also. Man it sucks not being able to drive.
