I don't think it will clear a shaker.:rolleyes: :underchair:

WHAT?!?!?!?!


You been reading too many of Composted Mints responses.... but I always get what he's saying --- EVENTUALLY. LOL

This little baby Ford might be just the ticket in a light weight little daily driven pickup truck.

Ok, if needed, I will do some splainin' of my posts, free of charge, every 4th Tuesday from 4am-5am EST. :rolleyes:


lol

:lol:

Ain't nothing :secret: GW.

:D

Subtract the one from the price (along with five zeros), then add some sense, and experience the product of my X302 (which I finagled for free, plus a brief trip to South Carolina), with about 10 fewer horsepower (oh jeez, so weak). I'm pretty sure that somewhere in this country, you can get actual horses (maybe from a glue factory) for $1000.00 apiece...

Oh, wait. I forgot to notice that they included a "throttlebody efi" (F150, anyone?) and "premium fuel." There's the money!

Maybe I should let you build my project --- with your wallet --- for free --- then I'll buy it from you for $100 and you'll make 100% profit?

Awesome new project Greg. Glad to see you're giving a truck some love. I found myself looking at alot of 32's this weekend in Columbus. I've always liked Hot Rods but they are growing on me more lately. I disagree with you that this will add nothing to the forum here. Hot Rods done well require excellent planning and engineering to package everything and make it look and function properly. If you can get regular update photos showing how a shop like Pinkee's executes this build, I think we can all learn from it!

Can't wait to see the updates!

By the way, don't you find the Roush engines a bit over priced for what you get?

HA HAAAAA
That is awesome. Gonna be another great build Greg.

Thanks Tones....



That Sub was one of the very first few that Wayne Due built with C5 suspension... It never made it into the 69 Camaro drop top I bought it for... I gave up on the project when I realized that everybody had one... :>)


Chad (CCracin) has the Z06 motor I'd bought for the project - back when that was "the" hot motor to run. It's in his daily driver now.

I sold and delivered the sub to somebody in Northern California...

Today Pinkee's mailed me the title to the clapped out pile of rust I bought. We'll see if we can turn it into a truck.

The Roadster Shop chassis has been ordered. REVO front end.... Penske Double Adjustables all around (Stieg talked me into them)... narrowed 2" in the rear and the wheelbase altered by moving the front end forward 1" to center the front wheel in the fender opening. Ford 9" on triangulated rear - 3:70 gears - 1350 yoke... for those sideways days. LOL


Stealing (fair and square) from a friend that is building his own '40 P/U -- I want to stretch the cab 2".... and shorten the bed the same amount - keeping the fenders and running boards where they belong "stock"... Not going to chop the lid. These cabs are just too small. Dan showed me how his seat fits and actually has some angle to it rather than the pretty straight up and down the way the stock ones are... SOLD! Wow what a difference!


Rodger Lee called yesterday and we discussed motor choice. LS3 is what I'm going to use. Besides - Charley threatened me too! They just work. They're easy. They're light. They're cheap. Parts are so available. Why fight it? Maybe I'll paint it Chevy orange to further piss off the Ford crowd.

PUT THE FRIGGIN ROUSH MOTOR IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!! Quit being so cheap!!!!!!!:underchair:

FTW! :unibrow:

The snowball is gaining speed!!!:lol:

Nice call on the LS, the Roush you mentioned seemed like an overpriced "signature" with little power.

Stick or auto?

Dan

"Nice call on the LS, the Roush you mentioned seemed like an overpriced "signature" with little power. "

X2

LS is probably and easier fit than a Coyote in that tight engine compartment.

^^I kinda agree with Mario.
Roush.

Bastard! Get back to work!







HAHAHAHAHA I knew you'd like that one!!








LS3 base motor (430HP?) and a 4L65/70 E --- not sure which one - most likely the 70E.... or similar -- so YES -- AUTOMATIC.





The only good Coyote is a dead Coyote.... at least that's the saying in Idaho. There will never be a GW build using that motor - for no particular reason than - I'm just never going to do it! LOL






As my 20 something daughter would say ---- SSSSSHHHHHHUUUUTTTT UPPPPP!

EEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA

Economically speaking Greg, (which if it REALLY mattered to you you'd just keep the F-150 as your grocery fetcher, now wouldn't you...) I think you made the right choice on the engine. You could purchase 2 LS3's for what Jack is asking for the little blue thingy. I'm building my Chevelle as a "Grocery getter" also, wink wink...at least that's what I keep telling myself.
Just raggin' on you man. Gonna need body mod pics on here ASAP!:poke:

Double adjustable Penske on a run around truck?:headscratch:

Charley keeps me on a short leash -- and has been reducing my credit line... So I'm just going to have to buckle down and cut corners where I can.

No.... that item was canceled and now my choice are the AFCO non-adjustables. Phil recommended them over the Penskes.


He said something about charging me extra for being stupid.... LOL

That's a smart move. Doubles on a non race type car is just silly, overkill, and has the possibility of making it ride worse than kyb's...

AFCOs eh....who wants to call dibs on them for when Weld replaces them with Ridetech's Comfort Series...:stirthepot:

Solely dependant on internal valve stacks and base valves IMO. The Penske triple/remote on my Ducati could be made quite plush or seriously firm.

I talked to Eric today on my way back to the shop from lunch and we got you set up real good. He is going to raise the wheel wells and chop the top with the stock windshield and do a few other mods we think will really set it off nicely. Do you like 24" wheels? How about ground effects?

Ground effects as in neon, 24" Intro's, hella-frushed, slammed with bags, and a thump'n audio. :trophy-1302:

Don't think that's what he was referring to! :stirthepot:

Sure it was. 24" intros on a 40 pick up would be Hella SIC.

Lol, Greg's going to stop telling us about his projects....


:bitchslap:

Greg, you are a lucky man, having friends like this helping you out

Intro's are where it's at! Probably should paint it blue to match the 33!

lol
:badidea:

I was thinking the same thing...

that Sieg.... what a bad apple. :lostmarbles:

:) :lol:

That's awesome! What a pile :lmao:

:lol: :lol: :lmao:

Agreed, but if you don't know what knob to turn to for what you want you have wasted money. I have double jri's on my corvette. Why, because I autocross and understand what does what, or has someone there with me answering questions (Mike Maier, might have heard of him).

I was just stating putting shocks like that on a run around truck is way overkill and could lead to someone not being happy.

It's all good. Weld will just hire Ron Sutton to DIAL IN his errand truck for optimum Sun Valley road performance.
