Thanks captainfab, I hope to get all the wiring done for the air in the next few weeks and get the tanks mounted so I can figure out my exhaust routing. That's going to be fun.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Not many pictures to upload because its been the same thing with wiring and plumbing all the valves. We did however get the tanks mounted and all the fittings we needed so heres a few. Also finished the recycling of my old roll pan to reuse. Got my power steering resi. mounted just need fittings for the box then cut the lines and shes done.

Re: MY build thread...

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well got the roll pan tacked on so i can see what it will look like when done.

Hey man, long time no speak...

That tailgate is gunna be sweet. Whats your goal date to get her finished by?

In hind sight, I'm regretting not bagging mine (mines static). I never paid so much attention to drive ways and pot-holes in my life.

fyi- don't start threads "whats this worth" the thread gets turned off lol! my bad

Re: MY build thread...
 

Yea how ya been? I seen you were thinking of selling your truck! Id still like to have the motor out of yours for mine wanna trade? HEHE...This thing HAS to hit the streets by the end of april...I have places I want to take it and the drag strip is one and a few other shows are on my mind...I need some major parts to be mobile like seats,looking for 40/20/40 out of 1500 dodge truck and a windshield are the main things.Started the brake lines today so one less thing.

Re: MY build thread...
 

I don't know how bad I really want to sell it, I was really just trolling trying to find out what peoples ideas were valve wise. I think you were the only person to see my thread before it was shut off... Should of known better!!

I was snowed in and bored. We got something like 17inches of snow yesterday. (I'm just north of green bay) Spring my ass!

One more summer of 2.3mpg and I might swap ya. I bet mine uses 4-5 gallons of fuel to get the thermostat to open. (@60 degrees ambient)

I got my windshield from kd autoglass (klein dickert) $235 in stalled with new glass in my shop. Seats i'm no help with.

I got one ride out of mine last year (I didn't get it together until November), went to the pay-and-spray, then into storage. I have a few odds and ends finish up to, don't think their ever done. But, I have to get the speedo working (noticed I was missing the drive gear on the output shaft). GPS works in a pinch but reacts to slow.

I'll see what I can do about a sound bite for ya, it is surprisingly quiet (outside) for 3 1/2" pipes. No carpet, roller cam, and gear drive you definitely know its running inside!!! well catch you later man...

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well post a few pics on this post so I can see it and show it to my buddy.

Just take them from my profile, go under albums... Its about all I have, I'm not really a picture person. Is he interested in buying it???? just kidding (please don't remove this thread)

Re: MY build thread...
 

Never mind, my albums are gone... I'll PM to ya.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well I'll update the pics this weekend but got some stuff done. Air lines are covered in another piece of clear hose to prevent chaffing,and duel pot master and brake lines are done,still have to add fluid and bleed. Ordered my power steering box fittings to finalize that and need to get my steel to build inside of tailgate. Gotta have this thing mobil for randys get togather in June....No pressure!!!!!!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Boy i'ma need to take some pics tomm. bad.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well heres some updates, seats are in out of an olds arora leather all power, center console is kinda in there, shifter set in its location, brake lines are done, compressor is mounted (still need to mount EDC) and scored me some 15x8 rally's from a guy for $25 and my neighbor gave me a 5th one for free got 4 painted today.

Re: MY build thread...
 

I like the center thing.;) Do you have your power steering pump on yet? I'm pissed I have 2 pumps and I can't get ether to fit?

Re: MY build thread...
 

Oh yea didnt get any pics but I did get the pump and lines on. Heres a poser shot in the truck. Two years to get too here. Man I can almost smell the burnt rubber now...Gotta wear the flat spots off the tires. My brake lines look like crap because they are temporary until I get a good tool to bend with. I really suck at bending lines but I can fab just about anything...HUH!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Heres some pics of mine.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well we tried to bleed the brakes and the front bleed great but the back I got NOTHING! I am thinking maybe something is blocking the line but I'm unsure. Any ideas on where to start?Help...

Re: MY build thread...
 

Start at the master or prop valve, cracking the line connection and check for fluid. Work your way towards the back.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well after breaking and stripping brake lines left and right I desided to just do the whole rear half also so tomarrow its too the parts store and get new lines. Found my brake problem BTW, The rear soft line had colapsed not letting fluid in or out. I have narrowed it down to 7 things to drive this thing for the first time in two years....
Rear brakes,lines and lights
windshield
WIRE the truck!
mount the shifter
install alt and battery...
rebuild new console
get some guages.
WHATS THAT LIGHT????????

Re: MY build thread...
 

Man your close. ;) :metal:

Re: MY build thread...
 

I'm leaving out alot like put hood, latch and hardware on, door seals, side windows, sound deadening, and all the other stuff but being able to back out of the shop and drive out of the way sure beats pushing it around or just talking about it... Thanks Alan I was wondering if anybody was still watching this thing...

Re: MY build thread...
 

You don't really need a windshield.:lol:

Re: MY build thread...
 

I've thought about some goggles and open faced helmet!!! It will make a trip through town without one with video to come of that as proof!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Yeah, windshields are over rated.....just one more thing that needs cleaned :lol:

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well got some parts primed up today and tailgate/rollpan is fully welded in. Going to try some all metal filler on the gate area and see how I like it. Pics tonight.

Re: MY build thread...
 

man, i just went through your whole build and you've done really great work with it!! if you ever start fabbing a fuel cell let me know! i think i would like one maybe if i got afford it!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thanks. I doubt I will start gabbing cells, there's already a few guys that do them on here but they are custom and pretty nice but you have to pay for them. Too much liability for me messing with fuel... If you need anything made look me up.

sell it as a "race only" product. no product liability or warranty.:lol:

Don't know if it holds water, but it sounds good!
