Actually the engine stays in the exact same position in relation to the crossmember. You section the center to raise the front suspension up above the framerails. Seeing since the LCA's hit the ground first.

If you want to go to a killer show that's going to be huge, go to the Relaxed Atmosphere All-Star Event on Labor Day weekend. It's in Millington, TN which is just outside Memphis. That show is going to go nutz.

Re: Dragndoorhandle

I got the frame back from powdercoating last week and I put all the suspension on it and also the cab. Im having one of my boys redo the 355 with a ton of new stuff, roller rockers, dist, h2o pump ect. The motor and tranny with the 2500 stall should be in by Friday. Then I have to get the drive shaft done which takes a half a day. Get the exhaust ran and have a fab shop break a tranny tunnel and d/s tunnel Bolt a seat in it and try to make the trip. If I break down I have another guy that said he would be watin on stand by with a trailer. I hope I can make it there. MR Wilt said there is allways a burnout and drag fest @ the motel 6 so well see what happens. Weither the truck will drive or not Ill have it there. Probably at the Killer Kustoms area.

Re: Dragndoorhandle

I got the tranny tunnel finished today. The motor and tranny are in it and the motor is 80% done. Just need to bolt a few more things on and it will be ready to fire. On the ****ter side when I went to put my headers on today, I found that there is about a 1/16 of an inch clearance from the fire wall. I will be working that over tomarrow morning. Then back to Bonified customs to put the bed on, then monday to the exhaust shop. Then to the junk yard to get a seat, and then...and then.... and then.....

Re: Dragndoorhandle

Looks good. Did you bend that up yourself or did someone do it for you?

Re: Dragndoorhandle

A buddy of mine bent it on a 100 ton accurshear break. This thing is crazy, digital controls you name it. I drew out what I wanted and he blasted it out in no time. The hardest part was the pieces on the fire wall, thoes took a minute to get done. I just got back from bonified customs where I was redoing the air compressor setup, but at 2am there was no place to get 1/2 in brass T fittings. I should be done with the truck by friday, I hope

Re: Dragndoorhandle

FUUU$$$$$$$$$$$K I dont know if Ill drive it there, but Ill tow it and then drive around at INDY. I got all the sheet metal on and the engine fired up @ 1 AM. The guy at the exhaust shop fuc#ed up so I got straight pipe to the rear of the cab. I might drive to JEGS tomarrow to get 2 new ones and I still need a seat ant to mount the lokar tranny dip stick, b&m shifter and bolt down the air setup. As long as I can start it Ill be there. The fu#kin bed sides need cut down 1 in, the are bowed out BAD when I lay it out and I nee to cut the inner fender lips so I can stear this pig,. Ill try to post some pics tomarrow.

Re: Dragndoorhandle

Its close. The pic you were looking at, the bed was not bolted down and when I aired it out the bed alked back. I need to cut 1.5 in off the bottoms of the bed. The sides are rollin in BAD right now when I let the air out.

Re: Dragndoorhandle

saw your truck at bash and wanted to talk to you but i wasn't sure which one was you. looks even better in person. one question what headers are you running? if i had the right ones i would of been at the show but i didn't like how much i had to cut out of mine and i didn't want to go with open headers.
