Looks awesome! You may want to look into a permanent mold casting for this. this thing is going to have a crazy amount of machine time in it not to mention the chip/finish part ratio. Depending on the demand you may be better off spending the money on the tooling. Just a thought. It will be crazy nice no matter the direction you go! :thumbsup:

I don't have to hurry, your just going to SOL. Or pulling whatever you put in there out when I get around to doing this. :D :D

any update?

Things are progressing at a pretty good rate on the Fairway Chevrolet 70 Chevelle. We have the engine position finalized and are getting everything else into position to be able to build headers and exhaust. Finish Mini Tubs, and get the trans and drive shaft tunnel into the car.

Our goal is to have this car in our booth at the Grand National Roadster show to showcase the chassis and our new product sponsors for 2013.

Enough talking, here are the pics.

We should be able to do much more frequent updates for the next few weeks as we really progress on this build.

Rodger

Rodger as alway's Outstanding.:thumbsup:

Thanks Scott. I was out playing around in Catalina this past weekend. The guys at the shop where hammer down on Saturday. We have a ton of work to get done to close the shop for 11 days at Christmas and still get this bad boy running by GNRS.

When is the GNRS??????????

January 25-27, 2013

Great show. Lots of mid west boys come out to get out of the snow.

We have a good time.

What type of grease are you using for the jonny joints that fits in a grease gun ?

I want to add zerks to mine I guess I've been a bit leery of drilling the shell. I assume the hole has to continue through the shell and through the bushing until it gets to the inner ball. I am going to try to drill mine after seeing this.

Our johnny joints come with grease zerks from Currie. We planned to just use a high quality chassis grease for the joints. They will be easily serviceable from under the car, so someone will just grease them regularly.

Nice!!!
 

As always Rodger

GREAT work coming from you guys ! Quality builds a plenty ! speaking of.. looks like some interesting c-10 beside the chevelle and a 50 something in bare metal ..share what you can :thumbsup:

Tom

Here is the renderings of what your asking about. Cool stuff I suppose.

Tom that 50 something in the back ground is a 55 Chevrolet, they are kinda in style you might say. They are like water around here.

Don't forget Duck Dynasty is on tomorrow night for a whole hour.

Rodger I really like your rearend

On a side note.

I am in love with this truck. All it needs is a Niner Mountain Bike mounted in the bed. I am sure you can make that happen

Thanks Rodger
 

LOVE THE TRUCK AND THE 55..
I wasnt sure if it was 5 0r 6.. :thumbsup:
oh..
Ill tune into Duck Dynasty just because you reminded me :_paranoid
i gotta figure out what you see in that show :lol:

Tom

You really should stop saying that to people Marty...

:lol:

Jim

You've seen it - it looks really good. Be Honest

Would you expect anything different from a mini trucker who shaves his legs? JUST SAYIN

Let it be known I do not have not ever shaved my legs.

Progress

http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...-5-2012005.jpg

The hood now clears the top of the super charger. The cowl induction crap does not work with a supercharger.

Moving the rear floor back to clear the rear diff due to ride height. Plus we need to make a place to hang reservoirs for the RideTech triple adjustable coilovers.

In this picture you can see our LS2 ECU bracket has been cut to fit on the inside of the firewall to make mounting it simple. We have a really cool looking budnik steering wheel and the Twist Machine shifter looks right at home.

I like the progress under the hood, looks pretty clean.
I don't mean to take from the car this thread is intended for but I LOVE THAT c/10 rendering.
Can't you just give it to me??

Another great build. Love the truck too.

Heck we can't even enter to win the darn thing. I did start the 55 Chevy as a stand in during the drawing ceremony when we worked on the last one.

We could always build you a second why we are working on the first. Its always cheaper to do another when doing the first.....:D :D :D

Thanks

More Details, Customer is flying in on Saturday for inspection.

Broc laying it down on the GMR rear axle housing.

AWESOME as always

What is that tube just above the lower link mount?

http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...-6-2012005.jpg

It's a threaded collar to hold the rear sway bar. I will post pics later of the sway bar installed on the axle housing.

T - Minus 2.5 days until the customer flys in to drive his LS9 57 Chevrolet home to Las Vegas on Saturday and do a visual inspection on the 70 Chevelle. Back to work.

I actually really like the reservoir

Rodger,I frickin dig the master reservoir.And the yellow look's good to me.:thumbsup:

Nice Touch with that shifter and the Steering Wheel.

Man those lines you guys laid out under that Tilton unit are bitchin. I like the one that snakes around the column mount. I bet you guys could cnc something of a lid for that thing, but I don't see it being that big of an issue. Scuff it and shoot it matte black if need be. Cool build.

That's the plan. We did the clear reservoir to be able check the fluid easy and not have to use a mirror and a flashlight to try and see inside to check fluid.

Thanks

Oh s*it, are both you kids going to Hawaii ??? Rodger will burst into flames when he jumps into the water without a t-shirt on...

:lol:

Jim

My guess is he'll be kidnapped by a pod of sperm whales.....

We all have to grow up at some point. :unibrow:

Yeah we will be diving together a few times. But I already have a scuba buddy, so the buddy breathing shouldn't be an issue. Haha

I'm really liking this build. Top knotch work coming from a true professional. :thumbsup:

Thanks Gaetano. We just try as hard as we can.

I have shaved mine before....... But I have a 4 door Dually no mini trucks
