The paint looks great. I like the factory idea.

Good Morning All or Evening if your still up,

Good Morning,

Kenny & Bob laid out the two tone lines on the cab.
If your curious -- yes they within 1/32"
They have to be perfect for Bob.

Doing it right meant paint had to go into the door jams.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_48.jpg

At one time there was a weld Seam on the back of the cab.
We didn't care for how it looks so bye bye it goes

Getting some Color

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_59.jpg

What a Difference it makes to have the 2nd color on the truck.
Bob spent a couple hours looking at paint chips trying to get the right color "Red"

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_64.jpg

Time to pull the paper off and get it out of the booth.
Yep - that's Speedy on the left and Bob on the right.

Someone has to tell Kenny to lay off the Caffeine

Good afternoon All,

Truck is out of the Booth and ready to get put back together

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_78.jpg

That would be Travis's *****en Dually on the left.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_81.jpg

Bob & Speedy hanging the fenders.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_88.jpg

Yep, 30 Seconds later the fender is hung.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_90.jpg

It's starting to look like a truck again.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_92.jpg

I bet you guy's really want to see what it looks like with fenders, hood & doors.

What is happening paint wise with the rear half of the chassis???Truck looks great so far:thumbsup:

Right now were going for the rust frame look. Once the paint is complete - Kenny "Speed Racer" is going to blow it apart and detail put on the Level Pro and then drop it off at the powder coaters.

lets see some more pics you tease:unibrow:

Yet Another Update.

The two tone has been layed out and now it's time to work on the tailgate.

It's a fairly large & flat surface so it needs to be broken up just a little.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._thrash_48.jpg

Placement of the Graphics is key.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._thrash_49.jpg

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._thrash_55.jpg

Soon you will see the finished product.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._thrash_56.jpg

WOW.........:unibrow:

What a great looking truck!!

Good Afternoon All,

So what does it look like outside in the Sunlight

I would say it Copper & Champaign, however Bob swears it's silver & red.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...8_04_12_70.jpg

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...8_04_12_80.jpg

Sunlight? I see clouds :burnout:

I don't know what truck your looking at but that's silver and red dude. :rolleyes: Looks killer Marty can't wait to see it at the sew shop.

The truck is looking GREAT, but Im curious, what kind of plans do you have for the second gen? Any ideas at this time? Power plant; trans;wheels and tire sizes;etc? Thats really got my attention,. Tony

you and Bob would get along great. :unibrow:

wow - lots of plans. The goal with the camaro is going to be make it a really nice driver.

LS3 w/ overdrive - paddle shift
tons of body mods
recovery room interior with OE style trim

bunch of DSE stuff
Full Air Ride Suspension

and it must have a back seat for the kids

Hi All,

It's all about the little details that no one may ever notice.

This is how the bed gap looks on a Stock s10 -- Not so good.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._28_05_003.jpg

Sliding the bed forward you can solve the gap problem.
However, you will need to stiffen the chassis to prevent the bed from twisting and hitting the cab.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...5_07_05_15.jpg

Of Course this then leads to the next problem.
The bed is just a little wider then the cab.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._10_06_021.jpg

So off comes the bed.
Now it's time to drill out all of the spot welds that hold the bed sides on the truck

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._10_06_032.jpg

Just a close up of the fun that Dave had drilling spotwelds

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._10_06_033.jpg

It's not over yet - it's actually just beginning.
This is proof that you fix one problem and it just makes the other problems look worse.

You can see that the cab has an excessive curve to it - now that has got to get fixed.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._06_20_025.jpg

You can see that Kenny is hard it here.
This is proof that Kenny is an all around Builder.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...07_08_19_2.jpg

Time to start slinging some mud.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...07_11_15_0.jpg

The bed had to come off so you can see the work Kenny did on the "B" Pillars

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...11_25_KD_0.jpg

Now this is how it should have come from the factory

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...12_03_KD_0.jpg

Still not Satisfied

Somethings is really wrong with Kenny.

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

Time to put some paint on it and make sure it looks good.
Yep - this is just a test paint.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...29_KD_GT_0.jpg

Looks like they nailed it.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...8_04_12_91.jpg

Notice the Cab Union is Nice and Straight.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._thrash_13.jpg

the attention to detail and overall greatness of this build makes me look at mine and wonder why I try!

what are you guys working on now

Bob is still working on the two / tri tone and the graphics on the truck

Good looking seats

i really like them... there is somthing cheap looking about the oem seats... i know yoryu are going for that OEM look and your interior is sweet... but i really like those seats you have in there...

They're not bad looking seats, but I'm not a fan of seats you can see through the back window on a standard cab truck. I know that isn't the best for really driving, but I just don't like the look. I was thinking of building a removable upper section of the seat. You would have function while driving hard and looks when it is parked. JMO No matter what, it is going to be bad a$$.

lol - Bob Johnson said he would whoop our ass if we used tall seats. I do like the idea of a removable head rest.

As long as the seats don't stand too tall its not that big of an eye sore. I've got a 3rd Gen and the factory seats are visible through the back glass. Just put some DARK tint back there and no one will know! Plus you keep the safety of the tall seat, not beating your head against the back glass in the event of a collision

The seats won't be any taller then the factory seats. If we cut them down below the window then they would be at my nipples and i'm short.

I like the "ebay style" post myself...

Seats are cool Marty, I agree with cutting them down way short so they are not taller than the bottom of the rear window. Truck is looking good! :thumbsup:

figured i would do something different. Thanks for noticing, I bet when you wife gets a hair cut you catch it and compliment her to.

Looks really good marty! are thos JDM Knock off's ;)

who makes them?

they are actually JDM seats that I bought off of ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...NA:MOTORS:1123

I like the style of the seat and i'm really looking forward to what Tracy can do with them.

SWEET! i thought they were a cheaper seat! how comfy are they now and material quality...? my truck needs some seats the stockers are tooooo big.

Good Morning All,

As everyone know's i'm a big fan of Bell Tech.
I've used there stuff on all of my truck builds and it's worked out great each and every time.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...belltech_2.gif

Previously installed on the truck was there Sway Bar.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._12_09_001.jpg

When Precision Brakes built my front Brake Kit they used a generic Spindle.
The intention has always been to install Bell Tech Drop Spindles.

This is where I normally would insert a picture of the actual spindle they shipped me.
However, we all know Kenny's not good with the Camera so the guy's at Bell Tech sent me a nice image.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...pindle2100.jpg

I really happy to working with another great company and I look forward to working with them on future projects.

ps - don't worry I have 4 more posts sitting in the que

actually they feel pretty good. However the fabric is very loose

Good Morning All,

Yet, another modification that is so simple and may never be noticed.

From the Factory the body line on the "A" pillar was going in the wrong direction.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._03_03_031.jpg

It actually touched the corner of the fender and was about 3/4" up near the door.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._04_01_004.jpg

After a little metal work it looks stock.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._Thrash_21.jpg

It's all the little details that make the difference

when we going to see some full body shots? :unibrow:
