I also have to replace my fuel pressure regulator and may get new injectors also. I'll also be taking off my fan and going with an electric fan I've had for like 5 years now. I would also like to try and get my buddy/painter over here to paint the firewall and inner fenders. After everything is done under the hood I still have to pull my front suspension apart to change my ball joints and radius arm bushings as well as out my new belltech coils in. Now ow for the fun part for those of you who took some time to read this: How should I paint all of my brackets and intake and what not? Keep in mind that the truck itself will be a dark charcoal grey, and that the engine is sort of a dove grey I think is what they called it. I'm thinking silver for the brackets and black pulleys, and just cleaning up my P/S pump and A/C compressor the best I can. I had in mind to paint the upper and lower intake black, and sand over the raised lettering til they shine again, and possibly either paint my TB black or silver, not sure on that yet. Any of you have any input? I'm open to suggestions! And thanks to those who check this out!</blockquote>
