Really a GREAT build......... Can't wait to see you make that first run. It is always exciting, I still shake everytime I know I went a little faster that the run before. Really like the way it sits. Pure SEX. Was wondering who to look into for front spindles. Some day I'll get there.
Keep up the great build.......... and pics. Steve

Sadly no updates, the build slowed down due to the holidays. Should have some updated pic's sometime in January. As soon as the chassis is done it will get very pic heavy! Trust me!

Thanks Steve! You and me both, I will have it videoed the first time at the track. Hopefully with a GoPro also, seems to be the newest thing to do lol

I appreciate it, just thought up in my head how it should sit and visualized it. Told Ken and he is making it happen!

My truck is using McGaughty's drop spindles with the rest being custom for the coil overs. They are the best quality spindle for our trucks. Or were you meaning the coil overs?

You have a slick truck yourself!

I love your gauge cluster for your truck! I may have to go that route myself. Because a 100 MPH speedo and 6k tach is not going to cut it lol

Thanks man!

Finally got the chassis shop to start back on it, has been quite the headache to get them to do something... was about fed up.

Mocking up the intake manifolds placement after moving the motor mounts...





Cutting the floorboard for the tunnel so the transmission can be moved up...





The beginning of the chromoly cage...
