superduty prerunner project

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

Going to order a stainless 5" turn down kit for it. I think that will look nice.

Personally I think the tan and maroon look good. Tan under the hood would look sweet as well

 

[Crownsville Stroker 7.3]

tan will be gone soon

Never mind then that wouldn't make any sense lol go polished or ptm, black will make the engine bay look to dark and boring

 

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

Not maroon. Maybe just polished or black.

I think polished would be sweet.

The exhaust

 

[O2ShootTheJ]

I have that exhaust. You're gonna weld on a hanger or two....

 

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

Damn really? If I have to fab ill just make my own. The whole point was to have a fast and easy install

I like the raw look to the piping. I would just clean it up real good and put a clear coat on it to protect it. Just my .02

 

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

It's tig welded stainless dont really have to protect it lol

I don't have any issues with mine. Just make sure to twist the straight section to bind the hangers so it has less movement.

It's tig welded stainless dont really have to protect it lol

I would leave it as is then. Love the raw look

using it the way you're going to I think it'll be moving all over the place. You may not need to, but I think you'll end up tacking on a hangar or 2 to keep it in place

 

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

well i ordered one lol. I will make it work. It will be miles ahead of what I have now. Its kinda pieced together just to get it running like 2 years ago and I never did redo it. oops


I think im going to take a shot at polishing my pipes my self. if I mess it up ill just get them coated.


I always wanted to do chrome powder coat tho



also ordered my DC power alternator in red. :redspotdance:



also going to start mounting the limiting straps this evening after work.

I'm sure you already know this, but make sure you wear a good respirator when you polish your parts. Inhaling that stuff can be very detrimental to your health

 

[Cutting-Edge Diesel]

Haha didnt know that. I honestly haven't even looked into it. Just figured somthing that would be good to learn since I deal in custom parts and could offer polishing as an option.


Thanks for the heads up

when I get my tube bender I have said I really wanna redo the front bumper to kinda simplify the front end and I really like how this one was made with the stock plastic. I think im going to try this when I get around to making up my mind on a tube bender

 

[sootie]

[bft blue oval boys]
