Thanks a lot, we appreciate it.

Our next step was install the transfer case to the tranny, then drop in the motor/tranny combo into the chassis. Everything was pre-fit, and our custom engine brace really worked out nice.

Laying down Dynamat for a nice quiet ride.

Looking awesome, can i borrow your crew for about 6 months?? LOL!

bilfman · 11-13-2015, 12:42 AM

Can't wait for the first burnout! I think it might have enough oomph 😉

MetalWorks · 11-17-2015, 05:52 PM

Ha ha...thanks guys.

Here we are with assembly work. Exhaust manifolds on the LSA as well as the wiring harness. We then installed the drive shaft, and wheels.

We officially have a rolling chassis!!

coopdog · 11-23-2015, 12:40 PM

What a nice truck!

Cam-Shaft · 11-23-2015, 02:28 PM

Wow, this thing is absolutely mint. Really digging the wheel/tire combo. The chrome will look sharp under the Red/White

While the chassis was being made into a roller, Heath was busy wet sanding and buffing the rest of the body components.

Ha ha...thanks guys...we'll gladly help you out, but I do not think there is any slowing down on this projects, things are rolling really nice.

MetalWorks · 12-03-2015, 05:37 PM

More assembly work...

MetalWorks · 12-03-2015, 05:38 PM

Few more assembly pics...

bilfman · 12-04-2015, 01:01 AM

It's a beauty , thanx for all the pics! Can't wait to see the finished product. What is the hp rating of the engine?

puller · 12-09-2015, 11:23 AM

This is the best build I have every seen! Looks really good. Love the modern power and old school look. Also the attention to detail making ever thing look like it was made to be in truck from factory!
