i hate body work !

tell the truth you love it almost as much as you love wiring.

i actually love to wire cars . but i am sick of primer and filler .

Sweet ride, I also like the attention to detail

Good Morning All,

Heading back to the Spray Booth for one more coat of Primer

The truck looks great Marty. :thumbsup:

Good Morning All,

Spent the day over at Rockford Racecraft sorting out ll of the misc stuff on the motor.

Trying to find a gasket for the motor has been fun to say the least.
Guy & Mike are working together to get the correct intake gaskets.

Cloyes Timing Cover - I just love this piece.

The last shot of the Jesels before they are hidden forever.

More misc Parts - Thanks Mike.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_12_RR_6.jpg

We put the motor all together so we could get a complete list of all of the ARP bolts
that we needed to order for the motor.
Not to worry it's just another call to Totally Stainless.

Nice.... (pics work now) straightest pickup ive ever heard of...

yep it is - can't wait to see it in person

Good Afternoon All,

Just as the title says "We've got Wood"!

Kenny sent the Grille & Front Cover off to get digitally Scanned.
What we ended up with are dimensionally correct "Wood Bucks" of all the opening.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_24_KD_0.jpg

All the parts laid out on the floor.
If you look at the grille piece you can see it has a concave shape

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_24_KD_1.jpg

My Favorite - The Front Cover opening.
Notice how the buck follows the curve of the Front cover.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_24_KD_4.jpg

This pictures shows the curve of the Wood a little better.
All of the parts were cut on a 4 Axis CNC machine.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_24_KD_5.jpg

Some Pretty cool work these guy's are doing.
I'm really getting excited to see this thing in color.

Looking Good Marty!!! Getting Closer! :D

Marty,

You really need to spend some time with your family!

roflmao:hail:

Good Morning All,

Guy has been busy working on the getting the turbo's & Wastegates coated.
He offers Ceramic/Metallic Hi Temp Coating that is done in house.

Turbo's stripped and getting ready.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_17_RR_0.jpg

Since this is part Show Truck / Driver.
Guy wanted to make sure the Exhaust housings looked good,
so some extra time was spent cleaning them up.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_17_RR_1.jpg

You can see the before and after pictures of the Wastegate.
Plenty of time was spent on the wastegates cleaning them up.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_18_RR_0.jpg

Step one - The Hi Temp coating has been applied to the exhaust housings.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_21_RR_0.jpg

and the Wastegate.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_21_RR_1.jpg

Now the fun part - polishing up the exhaust housing.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_21_RR_2.jpg

It's getting there - much better then the original rusty version.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...01_21_RR_4.jpg

almost looks like a butt if you ask me.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...02_06_RR_1.jpg

It's really good working with a shop that does hi temp coatings in house.

They also coat piston domes, combustion chambers, valves, and do dry film coatings on pistons and bearings,
and even do special coatings on interior surfaces of blocks to aid in oil drainback and heat dissipation.
Currently they are working on a special anti friction coating using Tungsten disulfide.
These guys are serious when it comes to this coating stuff!

Good Morning All,

Well, Kenny's back at it.
We took some time off while we were waiting for a new gift from Goodmark Industries.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...dmark_Logo.jpg

www.goodmarkindustries.com

So as you can see we received this giant box with a new ...........

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...02_14_KD_0.jpg

........ Steel Cowl Induction Hood.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...02_14_KD_1.jpg

There will be plenty modifications made to this hood so make sure you keep coming back to see what we have planned.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...02_14_KD_2.jpg

Kenny & Travis also started making sure the body of the truck was ready for paint.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...02_18_KD_0.jpg

There attention to detail is way over the top.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...02_18_KD_1.jpg

Once again I want to Thank Goodmark Industries for seeing our project and wanting to be part of it.
I look forward to working with them on all my future projects.

Hurry up:lol:

trouble maker :yes:

Ours may be ready for interior before yours! Get crackin. haha

Seriously it looks really good. What color??? Or did i miss that post?
-derek

Looks good marty! I think I found a colour for the truck. too!

We have two base colors picked - now we just have to choose one.

Congrads on the ink in Super Rod

Thanks!

I thought you were going to paint it heavy gold flake? Isn't that a favorite color for mini-trucks??? Oh yeah don't forget the custom billet curb feelers...:lol:

Oh, nothing looks better than
 

the "bass boat" treatment on a truck. Maybe you could get Mercury or Evinrude as a sponsor and have their name on the side. LOL

On a more serious note, still love your truck as I have said more than once. Did you mention what color it was going to be?

Not sure if Bob Thrash does that kind of Work - I'll ask him this weekend

Okay were down to two colors maybe three for the bottom half of the truck

PPG Smoke Silver and the other is a porsche silver ( can't remember the name )

I'll put curb feelers on mine if you put them on yours :unibrow:

looking good, what size shockwaves you running out back with how much travel? and does the panhard end up being above the frame aired out? Love the attention to detail I need to post up my build soon.

Wow - man that was a long time ago on the Shock Wave's. I would have to look to see if i have the part number.

From memory they were Ride Height 18" but i could be wrong.

Panhard Bar above the frame - hard to give you an answer since the frame has been moved way up in the rear. If you asking will it hit the bed floor - nope it will clear.

I was drawing up a set for the Galaxie the other day do you want me to email the pics to you??? :unibrow:

Just curious in how much travel you are getting out back, assuming you don't lay down on the frame. The pan hard yea just curious if it'd hit the bed floor.
