things are good
Let's see here... pickup is a bit quicker, although I can tell that I need to do the timing and tune the carb. No gas smell in the cab yet, even when it's 99 degrees out. The gas gauge doesn't bounce around under 1/2 full anymore (proper grounding is good). The seat covers are pretty nice, although I still kinda stick to the back rest a little. And she's all shiny.

Oh, yes, and photos are here.
