Love that red interior, looks comfy.

Pulled her out of the shop for a minute the other day while we had a small break in the weather, the Holley sniper still isn't right, I'm just going to have to buy another one now, I'll wait till after Autorama this weekend so we can pick up a summit coupon.

She's gonna be rowdy

The truck looks GREAT! You've done a great job, and thanks for sharing the journey with us!

Awesome, sanitary and different.
Carry on.

Beautiful! I've read some nightmares about Fitech too, it's a drag figuring out problems with this high tech stuff., expensive too.

Awesome work, it looks beautiful! I love the red interior and everything about the truck! What's the giant tail light sign on the wall of your shop? That definitely caught my eye. Sorry to hear about the sniper. I've had several friends have issues with them. I sold my dual quad fitech because I figured it would be a PITA too.

I bought mine way back when I started building this thing so I think I just got a faulty unit. I am out of warranty and Holley has a 4-6 week wait time. Bought another one and swapped them out, works fine now. Still need to go test it on the street.

That is a display sign my brother made 20 years ago to put in front of dads 40 coupe when he was showing it.

This stuff is taking forever in between our day jobs and living life.

Just need to wax the cab forward then we can start putting the chrome on.

Dust magnet for sure.

So we're still out here fighting with sniper issues, might be sending it back to summit soon.

But at least it looks good?

Gorgeous! That sucks you're having FI issues, but it seems there's always bugs to work out no matter how hard you try to make it perfect.

I agree. It's a beautiful truck. And a shame the FI isn't as plug and play as they make them out to be.

I have followed your build from the beginning, and you've done a fantastic job on it!
I'm posting because I also have a Holley EFI (mine's a Dominator) on my Car (I'm in Utah also), and had a few tuning issues in the beginning-after a bunch of looking at options, I found a remote Tuner who specializes in Holley EFI's and has a very good reputation (his pricing is reasonable too)- he remote tuned my Car (it's a screamer now, and he will help with problems if needed)-
He is on the Holley EFI Group on Facebook, and goes by Los Vasquez-his phone # is 561-644-0896, and he is super nice/helpful-he can help with any Holley product-
Closer to Home, Brock Lesner at Absolute Performance in West Jordan is a Holley EFI Dealer/Tuner (and has a Chassis Dyno), but I had a few issues getting an appointment with him-hope this helps, and I look forward to seeing your Truck in person at local Shows!

Thank you, I appreciate that. It's been a journey so far, building it this nice was not my original intentions, yet here we are. It's gonna be a riot.
