The Marauder Pick Up is running!! I was having electrical problems after installing the entire Marauder wiring harness in my 63 Unibody truck. It turned out to be a friggin blown fuse in the engine compartment fuse box. I decided to go back and check every fuse and after about an hour 50 fuses later, I found the culprit. I should be able to complete the remaining details within a month and be driving the truck.

The engine started right up after sitting for over 2.5 years

Thanks for all the electrical suggestions from forum

More to come

That's awesome, dude! :beer: Every now and then I'd wonder how your epic project was coming along. What color do you think you'll paint the truck? I'll give you 50 bucks if you paint it Dark Pearl Blue :D

Here are some pics of the Marauder Truck

I am thinking about a budget flat paint job now.

But later paint it like Parnelli Jones' 64 NASCAR Marauder

Looks like MarauderPU hasn't posted since last year. Anybody know him? I am dying to see this truck's progress. It's a way cool project imo.

How about a crazy four-tone paint job of all the MM colors? In a checkerboard pattern...:shake:

Yeah, I've knocked back a couple tonight....:beer:
