It looks right at home in that big engine bay!

Looks like it has a lot of room in front of it!

I'm going to have to modify the firewall.

lincolnlocker · Nov 10, 2013

Are you planning on running NHRDA?

lincolnlocker · Nov 10, 2013

Or maybe move the body further back?

You just reminded me matt. That is a rule isn't it? Yeah I'll just have to move the body back a bit. Hmm.... I'll figure something out.

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Nov 10, 2013

depends on what class. superstreet cant have a modified firewall. super diesel can and prostreet can but there are more rules involved when it is modified.

What about doing a body lift?

Strokersace · Nov 10, 2013

It's a lowered 2wd. Body lift isn't an option.

So what's to become of the engine donor?
New engine going in or...?

Supervisors wear white in a shop LOL I can't believe you guys did all that. Actually I can. A few gearheads and some beer and nothing else to do equals a recipe for chit getting done!

Pretty inspired.

The white truck is getting a fresh rebuilt engine and trans. I'm probably going to go pretty well stock. Maybe some 250/100's and an s471. Nothing too exciting. Then I'll toss some billet parts at the trans and a fresh rebuild. Nothing much. Maybe 500hp.

willing to sell it with no motor and no trans?

vanderchevy18 · Nov 11, 2013

Dafuq? Hell no. That truck isn't going anywhere ever. Every single part on that truck is mint. It isn't like these old farm trucks with a blown motor. The only thing on that truck that isn't new is the interior. Even that will probably be done when I put it back together.

LOL Found this on UTube. It's the truck when I first bought it. Byron Hummon took it. I didn't know he uploaded it!

Just ordered my new calipers, drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads, wheel bearings, calipers, corbeau forza seat, 5 point harness, seat track, primer, silver base paint, candy cobalt blue paint, crystal clear top coat, black frame undercoating, and 10 point roll cage kit.

I still have to order the fiberglass front fenders, fiberglass doors, and pcs controller.

Holy **** is that a lot of money. Sponsorship anyone? LOL

Today and tomorrow I'll be trying to get the cab and bed mounted and the chassis and cab blasted for paint.
