LOL, Its running, just not on the engine/ trans combo that it needs. Original goal was Chupacabra 300 race in mid October, but now Im hoping it will be ready to jump/ race and play by the LS1 Truck shootout. See what it will do on the track!! lolQuote:

Looking pretty good. Where did you get your wheels from? Somewhere out by you?

Thanks. Ya, Jess hooked it up and got them PCed for me by a top notch place. They are beautiful. I'm just ready for this mofo to be going so I can air it out!! LolQuote:

My tentative plan for now is...Quote:

Get back home then, pull front back off, plate frame, add any bracing I want
Swap in 5.7/80e
Get turbo kit 100%
Then all the small shit! Lol, that adds up to massive time. This will prolly change many times
Looking good!
5.7/80e?
6.0 then 5.7 then 6.0 now back to 5.7? It will probably end up with a 427 anyways.
Just bolt that kit up and go smash it. Then take to Jon for upgrades and repair, then repeat.
Lol, I built the 5.7 for it so Im going to at least give it a try. If it doesn't hold then the 6.0 will go in, at that point I will build a 383 for it... And I want to put a manual Trans in it too!!! But not sure if I will ever get around to that.Quote:

Cool, will do.
Sorry for the minor de-rail Turbo... commence with bada**ness
This thread needs an update big guy............
I flew a buddy in for a week and we made some great progress on the build. It is now about 70% done, and will be rolling soon. I have a lot left to do, but it will go fast and be a monster when done. all tubing is 2" chromoly except for a few 1 3/4 pieces. the rear travel measures out to a little over 30" so it was all worth it. I will post some more pics later. Thanks to Jess for all the help.Quote:

Thanks Ray, it is coming together.
Sick Mic!
Bad ass!

That's an awesome build! Wish we had places around where I live so I could justify doing something like that to my truck.
Update??
Just working the bugs out, but thing is doing great!
