Thanks. Been a lot of fun work so far.

Today I threw the tranny in for hopefully the last time. Ended up running a modded 1st gen CTS-V slave to have a bleeder. Also threw the stock tranny cooler lines on. I should be able to make them work with the radiator I have in mind.

Next week I should be able to make the aluminum-6 hard lines for the fuel system.

Looks great!

What are your plans to address axle wrap in the back?

Going to do Caltracs probably. Id like to link the rear but don't want to spend the time or money. I made my own Caltracs for my Syclone and they work good at ~900hp.

Great looking build. Making pretty good time.

layinrocker65 · 10-05-2020, 10:23 AM

Little update, got all the brake lines and clutch line ran and bleed. Rear end is complete. It’s an explorer 8.8 that I redrilled the axles to 5x4.75 to match the front.

**joedoh** · 10-05-2020, 10:36 AM

super nice work! this should be fun on a bun when done.

**youngrodder** · 10-05-2020, 10:59 AM

The chassis looks great...

Thanks. Got the cab set on for the time being. Shifter is going to work out good.

**Rickysnickers** · 10-06-2020, 10:24 AM

Fixed

layinrocker65 · 10-06-2020, 03:03 PM

Thanks. I cant figure out how to turn them on my phone. If the post preview shows them sideways, Ill delete the pics, turn them the other way on my phone and save them. Then try to post them and they are still sideways. Technology is annoying.

Don't stress over it. If they are turned and I see them, I will fix it

dsraven · 10-08-2020, 09:55 PM

I wonder ifithas anything to do with which way up your phone thinks is correct. like of you take the pic and your phone thinks you held the phone upside down then the pics turn out upside down? dunno, annoying though for sure. I never seem to get them right either. I send them to my desk top and download from there. works for me.

Maybe if I ever figure it out, ill still screw some up so you still have a job?

It only happens on the pictures I take on my phone in portrait(phone held vertical). All the pictures taken landscape(horizontal) are fine.
