Thank you Tonny I can't wait either.

Good Morning All,

Last minute decision to smooth the Wiper Cowl.
Remember the truck has a remote wiper set up so we may have another wiper cowl with wiper holes
for the Power Tour next year.

Bad lighting but here is the only picture of the doors cleared.

The tailgate is complete and yep it's resting on the new bedliner.

I was asked for a close up of the tailgate graphics that showed the shadows that Bob does.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...5_12_KD_21.jpg

That's all for today.
More to come on Thursday.

Awesome door graphics. Are you going to Columbus?

Awesome paint work!!! :hail:

Nice looking seats Marty! Everything about it is spot on. Color combo is striking and in typical Thrash fashion, the graphics look killer. :thumbsup:

The After.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...05_28_KD_0.jpg

Our goal is to have the frame look smooth when you look into the engine bay.

Good Morning All,

SICK! just SICK!

almost done! week and half to go!
































































:D

looks awesome, as to be expected with this project:thumbsup:

thank you very much

marty any updates?

Good Morning All,

I've spent a lot of time trying to design the right sound System in the Cab of Syborg
and the good news is the Guy's at Kicker have stepped up and helped design a very simple yet effective system.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...kicker_001.jpg

Dan over in Kicker R & D selected all of the Compinents for the truck and I can't thank him enough.
I've learned that more isn't always better.


This amp that was choosen is the ZX550.3
It is a 3-Channel Amplifier with Class D 3rd Channel for Subwoofer(s)
w/Remote Bass Control (controls subwoofer channel only)

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...02_zx550_3.jpg

The Speaker are simple and should keep the Interior very Clean.
6-1/2" RS Series 2-Way Component System
1" Teteron elliptical dome tweeter with neodymium magnet

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...004_rs65_2.jpg

Of Course you need to have a little bass and Kicker has the perfect subwoofer for the small cab.
10" Shallow-Mount Subwoofer

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...kicker_005.jpg

Mounting Depth is only 4-3/16"
Yep, that's shallow - perfect for such a small cab.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...kicker_006.jpg

Also Included was a Complete Wiring kit which i really need to take a picture of.

Looking good Marty! Can't wait to see this thing come together!

Stereo
 

Marty,

They hooked you up big time. That is going to sound great! Was this all "on the house."

When are you getting to columbus?
-derek

Yep, All on the house. They are awesome guys' and I'm just happy they wanted to work with me.

Be at Columbus late Friday Night - Can't freak-n Wait to see the Nova and a bunch of Camaro's :rofl:

Must be nice. How do I get in on that circle! :D

Spend a bunch of money.
Build something different
Promote the heck out of it.
and do your best to get the Magazine's to look at you.

almost forgot - Spend a bunch of money.

:lol: :cheers:

Good Evening All,

Okay were back from Columbus Good Guy's show, It was a blast.

2008 Good Guys Columbus Pics

So this is why the Monday Update is actually happening on Wednesday this week.

The Engine and Tranny have been painted.
I know the pictures stink - Travis took them with his cell phone.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._14_KD_001.jpg

Close up of the Bowler Tranny Painted
Yep, I Think Travis went to the Kenny Davis Photography School.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._14_KD_002.jpg

Rear Differential is painted and ready to go back in the Chassis.
However we need to order all of the chassis hardware from Totally Stainless.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...06_18_KD_0.jpg

Okay, It is very hard to tell the color from the above pictures.
But not to worry Kenny took the below Picture.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...06_18_KD_1.jpg

So you still can't figure out what color it is.

looks good as always marty.... :)

Nice work Marty! Not sure why I even brought my camera...

Truck is looking good too.... :thumbsup:

Nice
 

That is the nicest mini-truck I've seen all day!

It was great meeting you at Columbus (I was with Rodger and John). I saw you walking, taking pictures, and said "That MUST be Marty!"........


--Eric

Hi Eric,

So I like taking pictures, the funny thing is I seldon go back and look at them. I take way to many and I just don't have the time.

I'm the same way when I go to a car show.

'Mini Truck' Comment
 

Marty,

I was just kidding around with you when I mentioned the 'mini truck' comment..... I've been following your build for a long time now (2 years), and its looking great!

--Eric

send me your pictures and I'll post them up on Garage Scene. Or better yet i'll give you a link to put them up.

[email protected]

LOL - Mini-Trucks doesn't bother me in the least.

Kenny is just upset that he no longer fits in the Mini-trucks and he's had to move up to the Big Trucks. I heard he was looking at the new F450 just for the extra room.

why not start a new term and call it a muscle truck

okay I'm good with that

so from now on it's not a mini-truck it's a muscle truck

Can I use the term as well? I like it!:thumbsup: It's hard telling people about the truck. It's a 68 Chevy, but???? Then I cobble something together from there.

Later,

Ummm...yeah...that is not going to work. Everyone loves the term MINI truck...it's golden

Where are the Monday update pics?

sure go ahead i don't mind.

I'm working on it right now

Marty,
You are keeping us on our tippy toes :D . Is it done yet????

Tonny

Nope - not done yet but it's getting there.
