WOW, nice build!! Unique way of running the DP through the frame! I was hoping that you were gonna sandblast and coat the frame prior to final install but looks like you did paint the back half. What's the latest on this?

 

Thanks, Its a little different. 20's and 15's but I like it.

Well, let me know when your ready for the control arms.

Thats the plan. I want to put it all together before I brake it all down. The frame and suspension components are going to be powder coated flat black. I just finished up the wiring. I had to extend the head light harness and it was a pain in the azz. I'm going to try and fire this thing up this weekend. Just need to run the fuel lines and connect the rest of the harness. If all goes as planed I'll hear it start for the first time in years!!

 

i hate you so bad........so bad.


j/j man, build is going great. its going to look like a beast and will perform like one too!

keep posting!

 

that looks killer man!, good fab work... but why did you not put the bottom of the coilovers between the plates? having them off the side like that is an accident waiting to happen!!

 

Actually its very common to mount them that way. Easyer to service and remove from the vehical for service at the track.

 

No update but I do have some extra monies!!! I'll be ordering a braided fuel line kit from a sponsor and a couple other items as well. I'm also possible taking off my hot side and I'm thinking of buying a hot side kit from a member as well. The main reason is so that I can retain a lot of my factory parts like the radiator, e fans etc. I was running into some problems with the way my tubing was run and basicly I'm ready to get this thing going. This was my first turbo build and its been a huge learing experience! I havent had too much time to work on it but i hope to get some things done. Thanks everyone for the replys it deffinetly keeps me motivated to finish the truck.

Heres a little update. I got my kbracing hot side mounted and the rest of my fuel components should be in today as well. The hot side is realy close to the ac, not sure if the a/c is going to work. It should though, it worked on his truck.

 

By the way kb, the down pipe worked out. No mods needed for the bodydrop.

 

Good deal!, I like it when a plan comes together!

 

Alot of some dam good work!!!
Looking good!
