calipers all coated up with brake setup, just missing pads at this point. The color looks great in the sunlight but isnt 100% what i had in mind so i might recoat them a different shade of blue. But im also thinking of selling these and just going with regular z06 brakes. But now that i have these i may regret sell them.

I don't know why this is over looked as much as it is, but this thing is sick.

I think its because I dont have a sinister name for the truck in the thread title.

But thank you, hopefully it turns out how i envision it.

I also sold the original trans motor over the weekend. Going to a manual trans setup and maybe convert over to an aluminum block.

I think this will get a lot more attention with just a little more progress. I think it's an awesome concept! I hate comparing projects but seems it'll be a road version of the Trophy Rat.

I remember I was going to ask you your thoughts on the comfort of the fixed back seat but I ended up picking up a pair to try out anyways.

Keep it up!

ya, im not keeping the cab how it is though like the trophy rat. Cab and doors will get fixed up as well as the front grill section and im making a new bed. Plan is to paint the body grigio titans.

Those brakes are SWEET! We hope you end up keeping them for the truck.

Obsessive ebay searches throughout the day.....everyday. In hindsight I should of done all camaro suspension that way i could of used off the shelf axles and just used the regular zl1 brakes, etc... to save money. Next time!

Where did you get that frame table ? approximate cost ?

Who cut the box panels for you ? Were they laser cut or water jet ? I assume they worked off of your solidworks files.

Did you buy those frame rails already bent or did someone do that custom for you ? They kind of look like something Art Morrison might have built ?

Great truck, when bogged down in sheet metal work and other stuff I used to day dream about building a bare bones hot rod/truck style vehicle with a minimum of cosmetic work to do. I much prefer building chassis and suspension stuff over body panels.

It will be a lot more exciting once we get some idea of what it will look like !

This is a great project regardless of traffic it creates. Please keep us posted on the progress and good luck!

I build the table, its only a 4x5x1" aluminum table with 1/2" tapped holes on a 4" grid. I got this setup for a steal, $550 shipped which included the waterjet cutting. I really need a bigger table if im gonna do chassis work.

By box panels what are you referring to? Im guessing the rear crossmember, if so i had the local laser shop cut them out for me.

Frame rails i bought the prebent 90*s from art morrison.

Last night I did some sanding on the rear section, tacked on the fishplates on the rear kick and welded on the upper suspension bracketry. Gonna shoot to have the rear suspension all welded up on the frame by the end of the weekend.
