Good Morning All,

It's on the Ground and i am pumped.
The ride height is dead on and it's low.

This is what the truck looked like when i arrived at 7:30am.
I have a bunch of work to do by 10am when Bob get's here.

Fist thing to do was install the New 14" Rear Brakes from Precision Brakes.
They did a great job on the kit.
What's scarry is they no longer look big to me.

The Brakes look better now that they are 14" vs. 13" that were originally on the truck.

This kinda of Gives you an Idea what Bob Thrash came up with for the Exhaust Exit.
More to come later i promise.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._06_24_029.jpg

Yep it was on the Ground by 10am and it's low. This is ride height so it can go 4" lower when aired out.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._06_24_016.jpg

You can see there is plenty of clearence to drive it on the road.

Man I love it! Its just sick.


-Paul

HELL YEAH! Now its coming together! Looks incredible man! Really great project! You guys do top notch work!

Joe

Thanks guy's - I'm just happy people are still looking at this thread.

The only question I have is... Are those rotors on backwards... isnt the drilled and slotted grooves supposed to be facing the other way?

Joe

it looks awesome. Stance, wheels, everything. The front cover looks a little odd to me. But once its in paint I'm sure it will look great!!!

okay - so i wasn't paying attention when i put them on. Yep i was thrashing to get the entire suspension on in only 2 hours. My goal was to just get it on the ground and it looks like i cut some corners. The good news is that i put the calipers on in the correct orientation.

Thank you - yep the cover looks a little strange but it will look nice once it's painted

OOOOH I see... I didnt mean to knit pick... HAHA! I was just wondering! :D

not a problem - it will help me pay more attention when i am putting the truck together for the final time

marty , looks great . love the stance and wheels

Lookin good.

I bet that thing will be a rocket ship.

Rodger

Thats a inzane truck! ´But i lovet it! Awesome job man! We have one of those in sweden as well.. a Syclone twin turbo... It has ben dominating the dragstrip for years. Keep it up!

Thank you - tell me about the one in sweeded i would love to see pics

Worked on the front bumper cover this weekend.

Had to modify the mounting tabs to work with a stock steel support.

Step one - Make sure you are wearing the proper safety glasses

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_02_007.jpg

Step two - Carefully remove all of the mounting tabs

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_02_004.jpg

Step Three - Take them to the grinder and reduce there size.
A long sleeve shirt may have prevented my forearms from itching so darn bad.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_02_008.jpg

Step Four - Glass all the tabs back on.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_02_011.jpg

Step Five - Drill the new holes

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_04_006.jpg

Step Six - Run to local Sears and buy Stainless Steel bolts (did i mention i lost the original bolts)

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_04_008.jpg

In the end it's mounted and it only took about 4 hours if you include the trip to Sears Hardware and the trips to the slop sink to wash my arms because they itched so badly.

FUN STUFF!!!!!

-Paul

dont you love 'glass! lol. Great work.

Don't you just love that. lol

Looks great, Marty! :thumbsup:

I spent about two hours cleaning my garage shop in order to bring more parts home so when the time comes to test fit everything it's all in one place.

What really sucks is i started cleaning because i can't find any of my tailgate hardware that i bought and without the hardware i can't install the relocate handle.

Happy Sunday,

Dave was able to squeeze in a bunch of work this week.
He was able to get both front and rear bumpers mounted.
He came up with a pretty cool way to mount the bumpers and make adjust much easier.

Here is the mount for the front cover

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_003.jpg

Plenty of adjustment up down so we should be able to nail the alignment perfectly.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_006.jpg

Finished Product

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_028.jpg

Since were on the front end - Dave Finished the steering shaft.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_029.jpg

Moving back to the rear end.
This is the beginning of the rear bumper mounting.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_007.jpg

Plenty of adjustments with this mount

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_008.jpg

Just a quick side view

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_009.jpg

Dave mounted the engine oil cooler on the Drivers Side.

Okay rear cover view.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_016.jpg

Here are the plans for the end of the truck.
Remake the rear cover out of steel and incorporate the rear belly pan

Really bad picture - but you get the idea.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_22_021.jpg

That's it for this week.

That is a neat tool...

Happy Monday all,

Okay skipped last week here Dad bought a new project
and it's eating up what's left of my spare time and it's not even here yet.

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/...y_Status_2.jpg

Should be a fun little Project

http://www.sportmachines.com/albums/..._Status_12.jpg

Okay back to my project which doesn't seem as cool anymore
Dave was able to bend up a test panel of the rear bumper

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_02_003.jpg

Started working on the Fuel System.
Located the FPR in the Intake Valley to keep it clean looking

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._07_26_056.jpg

Fuel Line coming out of the Tank

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_04_001.jpg

Into the Aeromotive 100 Micron Filer & A1000 Pump

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_04_007.jpg

The second filter is the 10 Micron Filter just to get out the really small stuff

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_04_009.jpg

Mounted a Bulkhead at the back of the Cab so we can remove the cab
and not have to worry about the lines that are mounted to the frame.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_04_010.jpg

Just a quick look up at the underside

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/album..._08_04_013.jpg

That's all for this week.
I may have to take a week off so we can figure out where the 57 Chevy is going.
Just need to figure out who,where and when. My Choice are Kenny Davis Hot Rods, Pinkee's or Rad Rides.

the truck is looking good! the new project is quite interesting as well!

pontiac heads?

yep they are Pontiac Racing Heads for a v6. They were used in IMSA racing and some other venue's. Lately everyone that is building a v6 wants them.

and you are building a turbo'd 4.3 right? I didn't know those heads fit. Learn something new everyday.

yep turbo 4.3 with a GM Racing Bowtie Block
