The Mil-spec connectors will make installation much easier since you only have to drill one hole in the firewall and connect things up instead of the trying to shove big connectors through a big hole and make that look nice.

We do not have solid pricing structure yet but we are still working out the details.

We will have LS1, LS2, LS3, LS7, LS9, and LSA engine harness's. We are also working on an LS engine harness that will working small block and big block chevrolets. You will be able to multi-coils and DBW with a very affordable harness.

Rodger - anymore details on this yet? pricing, core charge, harness exchange, 3 or 5 pin MAF connector, delivery times, etc? -Bob

Kinda pricey, but they provide some strain relief and give it that F1 look.

I guess I can sit down and actually do an update on the shop. Things are crazy busy around here. Goodguys dropped off the C-10 truck to do another Giveaway car project. The winning rendering has not been decided yet, But there were some good submissions. I think we are going to do a Car Warriors style contest next week and see if 4 of my guys can tear the truck down to a bare shell in 2 hours next week. Winner gets lunch.

We have been really busy trying to get Andy's 1960 Ford ready to Cruise the NSRA show in Bakersfield the last weekend of the month. We are getting close.

The truck is actually turning out really nice for a truck that was intended to just be a nice driver.

We have been getting quite a few frames together for customers.

We did some work on a trophy truck for a local customer to help him get ready for his first race with a new to him, but used truck.

Here is picture of Darrell seeing his 67 Nova - Project Slow Motion. As you can see by the fact he had to see down after staring at the car for so long. He was pretty excited.

More to come.

Thanks - Some guy called about 2 months ago and I thought it was a telemarketer and almost hung up on him. Some company I'm not even a vendor for suggested me for an article. Sounds like I need to become a vendor for another company. HAHA :D :D

I'm just a 36 yr old tall fat kid now with an even bigger dream now. The only thing to change is about 30 lbs in the middle.

Last week my guys really busted their ass last week to get this 2nd truck knocked out for Frank the owner of the 48 we finished for SEMA so he could surprise his daughter and son in law for his daughter's birthday at the local NSRA show this past weekend.

Here are some pics for the truck as we are trying to wrap up some final details to get the truck to interior. We are using a new shop for us called Stitch by Stitch Interior in Yucaipa, CA. Jan has really knocked it out on the seat in the truck.

In the 4 corners of the bed we made these compartments, The back 2 are use to fill the fuel tank and battery box. The front 2 will be ice chests.

Really enjoyed seeing this one. Congrats Rodger and crew. :thumbsup:

Keeps its classic truck looks, but they're enhanced with a lot of creativity. :cool:

I would not have picked this truck from the get go, But with a few nice modifications I think we really made a sharp looking truck that makes me rethink this body style. This truck is not fancy or over the top. But it sure stands out in a crowd.

Track Junky 04-30-2012 11:26 AM

Agreed, wouldn't be my truck of choice but it sure did come out nice. :thumbsup:

GregWeld 04-30-2012 11:46 AM

Awesome Rodger! Sure has come a longs way quickly!

I think we built this is just under a year, maybe 10 months.

As far as Intros - Kenny has the Dealer Deal with Intro on Lock Down. And He thinks Intro's are popular after all the internet HYPE.

Actually Budnik knocked it out of the park on these wheels. They look perfect on this project. The brushed centers polished high spots look killer. These are the 2nd set in existence. Thanks Jay.

tones2SS 04-30-2012 05:39 PM

That color is awesome for that style truck. Fits perfectly.
