Marty I hope you don't have any problems with the Precision turbos. Garrett pulled out of Precision "long story". So getting anything from them anymore is impossible.

But they look killer! :thumbsup:

So far we haven't had any problems with Precision. They have turned around everything same day. I'd say there doing good by me.

Good Day all,

Where coming down to the end with the motor build.

However, we still have a couple little more problems that needed to be resolved.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...03_05_RR_0.jpg

The problems only gets worse when you put the valve cover on.
So the tube will have to be removed from the inside of the valve cover.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...03_05_RR_1.jpg

Once tube is removed the valve cover will leak oil.
To keep the oil from leaking we installed an O-ring under the ARP bolt.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...03_05_RR_3.jpg

Guy also had to remove a little material from the Rocker itself.

Plenty of updates to come this week.
So keep your eye's open.

syborg tt 03-23-2008 05:32 PM

Good Evening All,

I figured I would post the up pictures Sunday Night instead of Monday Morning.

I want to Thank the Guy's over at Line-X of Rogers Arkansas they did an outstanding job on the truck.
Line-X of NW Arkansas
2001 S 8th St
Rogers, AR 72758 ( 479.621.6262 )

The back of the cab has been coated since it will be exposed to the elements.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._10_KD_001.jpg

If your not an S10 guy you wouldn't notice how square the "B" pillar is.
It's hard to tell it's been modified.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._10_KD_002.jpg

Just a different view of the bed with the Turbo's testing out the bed liner.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._10_KD_003.jpg

More pictures to come this week.

Hi All,

Okay it's not that late but I'm really tired.

Well, Kenny is at it again. He's not happy with a few spots on the truck so there back at it again.
Two things you will notice in the picture.
1. Primer on the new Standox paint
2. Standox is the Paint of choice for this project.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...03_22_KD_0.jpg

Yep back to the holding area and getting ready to hit the paint booth again.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...03_24_KD_0.jpg

Yep the Turbo's are temporarily off the new Line-X and back on the Motor
Didn't Rockford Racecraft do a nice job making those Turbo's shinny.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...03_24_KD_1.jpg

It's getting closer

Top Secert pics of the truck...
 
I am one of Marty's friends and thought I would post a few pics from this weekend...


I drove down and met Marty, Kenny and Bob today, all I can say is quite the crew... I have been sworn to secrecy, about certian parts of the truck. Kenny and Bob were accomplishing some pretty cool stuff, while Marty and I played shop bitch at times...

Here are some pics of what I can share

I am sure we will have a nice update come Monday, Marty took an ungodly amount of pictures.


I am really impressed with the quality of work Kenny can produce, considering the shop he has... I am sure Marty will fill everyone in on this a little.

Good Morning All,

Okay everyone wants to see some pictures.
So here Goes.

Were going to back Pedal just a little bit.
Quick Picture of Bob applying the Graphics to the doors.
Note the Safety Equipment - have to do things right (another inside joke)

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...03_KD_GT_4.jpg

Close Up of the Door Graphics - this was just the beginning.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...03_KD_GT_7.jpg

Quick shot of the Grille
So is that Silver or Champaign

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...b_Thrash_6.jpg

The Original Concept was to create a Factory Prototype.
So in keeping with the Concept the Paint had to be applied like it would at the Manufacture.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_24.jpg

Keeping the details throughout the paint job.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_35.jpg

Still to be applied is the Satin Silver to the inside of the bed & Bed sides.
Watch for More updates this week.
