I got these on yesterday among some other stuff.

A few updates. Can’t explain a lot of them. Just pics of things as we SLOWLY wrap it up. I swear this thing is going to be the death of me due to stress!!

We had to recut the intercooler for a second time.

I know the bay looks like shart.

Went with a new shifter that my brother made while he was here one weekend. 25mm cell casing. He also mounted the hand brake.

And it looks like I’m gonna be able fit the original center console back in its spot.

The gauges look good. Thanks Erin.

Also, not pictured is Matts old seat that I acquired that will be installed as soon as I get brackets. Thanks Matt.

There is a ton of little things that I’m having to tackle that I won’t be posting pictures of like fuel lines, brake and clutch line, PS lines, battery relocating, ground wires, door bars, throttle pedal bracket and throttle plenum bracket.
But I will try to remember to video the start up.
And I don’t know when this will be done, as I keep giving general dates that keep getting shot out of the water. Hopefully it will be done for the event.

Ok, More updates. I’m to tired to write about stuff. So just pictures.

I’m going to install this as soon as I get back from our 5 day camping trip to Heat Stroke Island.

Tempted to make it a push brake. There’s not very much room next to the shifter.

Ok, a few updates.

Played around with MS paint or one of the programs on my laptop:

I”ve got a long weekend to work on this thing and I’ve got a lot of stuff planned to do so hopefully I’ll have some good updates to post on Monday.

Nothing real new. I’ve been working on this thing but the footings on the cage took quite a while because I wanted them to be solid but yet removable incase I ever need to remove the cab at some point.

I completed the tunnel yesterday and today I have to pop the cab up one more time to finish off some welding on the bottom of the cage before I can install the dash bar and strut tower cage supports.
Then its steering column, pedals, door bars, seats, fuel cell, truck bed, more cage in the bed, rad and intercooler support, piping, etc,. All in that order.

Ok, I havent posted anything in a bit so I figured I would put up some more stuff.

Time to make the firewall and tunnel

remembered that I needed to make the tranny mount and do the exhaust before finishing the firewall and tunnel.

Added one more x-frame for support and was able to run the exhaust over that and within the frame rails to keep it from scraping.

My brother came into town last weekend to help me with the cage since he’s built several and I’ve built none.

We drilled holes in the floor so we could drop the cage down and weld and paint w/o having to mess up any thing.

The cage isn’t 100% yet. We had to stop because we ran out of time and I need to see where the steering column is going to be and also the pedals before installing the dash bar.

A preview of what the truck may look like:

Yea, I know, I realized after the fact that I have the Coilovers on the wrong side when taking the pictures.

Rolling Chassis Complete!!

More as they come.

Added support to the rear towers.

Finally done with the frame and painted.

Replaced the angle iron cross member with 1″ black steel pipe.

Got a liitle excited with the green paint.

The wheels showed up today. I ordered Megan Streets instead of GodSpeeds. They should be here tomorrow or Friday.
