SWEET!! I have been waiting! Can't wait to watch this!

 

I'll be updating this thread each morning during the week and once if I'm lucky on the weekends for the next 2 weeks.

I have about 900 pics total of the build so far.

 

Cool! Glad to see you posting again Mark. You have had a busy winter!

 

Thanks Will. You and The Wabbit always motivate me

 

The Grateful Dead motivates me. lol

Then you'll love the Paint Job coming...Uncle Sam~the U.S. Blues.

 

I love you.


lol j/p

 

It's gonna be pretty trick with my avatar 27" on the roof

 

More....

Here's how the final inboard of the springs turned out



This is how it started (Inboarding)






Pics of the interior. Sub floor is down, firewall is in.



Wilwood Pedal Assembly. There are 2 masters for the brakes and one for the clutch. There is a balance bar on the brakes that allows me to bias the brakes Front==Rear




Better shot of the side



Better shot of the firewall and computer. I'm encapsulating the motor so this is all of the firewall




More pics tomorrow of the work done over the weekend. This is where I started on Friday. Playin Catchup

 

That is coming along great Mark! Awesome fab work. Are those poison spyder customs gussets?

BTW can you get me some specs on the Budweiser beer can mod?

 

Thanks Will. Yes, they are Poison Spyder Gussets for just a little "Bling" you would be surprised at all the little trick stuff you can find out there.

The Budwiser Beer Can mod is top secret...but rumor has it..you take one and shove it up a Chicken's Ass and put the entire thing on the grill for 1 hour...mmmmmmmmmm

 

Are you going with 12" bilsteins on that?

 

Honestly, not sure. The front axle will be wider than the rear so I'm expecting the same flex with the added leverage. I have a set of 14s but will just have to see when I flex test it.

 

Oh, ok. I have a set of 14s that I cant use. (Too long). let me knwo if you need them. I have to get some 12s.

 

I have 8-9 Bilsteins in the shop right now. I can snag you a set of 12s on the house Will. My treat.

If I need the 14s I'll let you know. Can send you some cash cause the 12s were on my Trekker before hand.

Expecting some sick, sick flex out of this honestly and gonna need all the shock I can get...just a feeling.

 

Budweiser beer mod. Will that work on a stock truck? Do I need a lift? How about bigger tires?

Who cares about all that...I wanna see the BATTERY box.

 

Sweet! You have PM Mark.

 

I didn't mention it in the PM but I'll throw all 4 in there Will. Worry about it later down the road.

Glad to help out. Leavin' in the AM.

Mark

 

I got your Box alright

Updating with more pics in the AM.
