The lower part of the Core Support had to be removed to gain clearance for the Intercooler.
The detail matches the rear frame rails.

Couple shots of the engine compartment with everything mocked up.

Good Evening All,

I know it's late and I should have posted this earlier but the site was down so I moved on to the next project.

A couple quick pics of the chassis Details.

The one-off set of brake made by www.revolutionbrake.com
These guy's were awesome to work with.

And ...

The best picture of the day.
Now your going to have to look closely as the picture was taken by Kenny.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album...dent.sized.jpg


Yep, that's a golf cart in Kenny's office.
Actually it's a golf cart that Kenny drove through his office wall.
Seems his foot got stuck on the gas pedal.

badmatt 09-22-2008 08:17 PM

LOL im still recovering from a golf cart injury from last week..... drove a golf cart over a small cliff (8 foot ish) at a local course and ate sh!t HARD..

Looks awesome marty

Edit: can I buy some of your used parts heh heh

ccracin 09-23-2008 05:13 AM

I thought it was a seen from American Chopper! Was Kenny brushing up on his AutoXing? Looks like a fun shop.

The truck looks great Marty. How are you standing this? I wouldn't be able to sleep at night! :lateral:

sick65 09-24-2008 07:03 AM

Kenny + golf cart + slick garage floor = one funny ass story. :D

The funny part...There was a customer in the office when he decided to make his grand entrance. :lol:

Having created the baddest sport truck on the planet, and documenting it in 108 pages and 1048 posts with a few hundred of your closest friends over the internet.......PRICELESS!

This thread started three years ago and, at that time the title said two years... I just did the math ;)

I hope I don't have to change it to ten-years at some point ;)

Surgery is over and I feel much better today.

Who would have thought that my stomach would be all bruised from galbladder surgery.. I think that's the part that hurts the worst.

radrambler 09-26-2008 05:32 PM

get well
 
marty

glad to hear your surgery went fine.
