    I am using a GM power steering pump with AN6 fittings you do not need any adapters as it is the correct presure for most aftermarket racks. I bought it from Street and Performance because they have one with the tank attached. The radiator came from 4 seasons racing in Memphis. I don't remember the exact cost but I want to say it was $900 with the shroud and fan.

    Looking good. I think there are a couple people on here using Bill's front suspensions and the Air Bar. You using Hydroboost?

    Thanks
    Yes I am using Hydorboost as well. Bills stuff fits great and I guess we will have to see how the Air Bar works out. I wanted the bags so that I could control ride height easy. Thanks for watching the build. I will post an update when I can.

    I have the Hydroboost too and can't  wait to stomp on the brakes. This thing kind of makes me anxious to see how it decelerates moreso than accelerates!
    I went with coilovers all around on the Alter K and the Air Ride 4 bar, Bill changed the Alter K up a bit when he started selling Air Ride rears and I got the version that is not compatable with the Shockwave bags. I would be going the air shock route if I had the newer one. I am somewhat envious of you guys, lol.Bill said I could send the frame back in in exchange for the new frame but now since he has the third version out (1 piece mandrel bent cross bar instead of the welded three piece) I don't know if the offer still stands?
    Maybe we should start up a Alter K/Air Ride 4 Bar E-Body club, lol.

    Here are a couple of pics of my new gauges and bezel. I will paint the outside of the bezel a graphite color (flint Mica) and polish the tubes around the gauges. The gauges are Autometer Ultra Lite II's (they finally started making the 5" versions). I had the bezel made at Rocky Mountain Dashes. They do a really nice job. I am also working on my dash and will post pics if it later. Anyone have any perfect AC vents for sale? I have some that are very very nice but one of the vents has a small scratch on it. I'll keep you posted.

    Thanks MEK
    I think they will look even  better once the front of the  bezel is painted.

    Would you mind telling us how much  money you have in that gage set?
    To redo a stock setup they want $800.00 :money:

    Thanks.

    The gauges were $700 including shipping. I bought them through Alantic Speed Shop. They sell Autometer on Ebay but if you will e-mail them with a multiple gauge order they will give you a price discount. I think the regular cost for the gauges is about $780. The gauge dash was $650 I think. It is expensive but there are cheaper ways to use the gauges i.e. make your own bezel. Some members on here have done that and it looks pretty good but I really wanted the inset look. Good luck and let me know if I can help you in any way.

    Looks great!!!  I'm debating on if I should swap what I have for a Rocky Mountain.  They look really well made.
