I can't decide if I should run them outside the frame or not, but I'm gonna run em out in front of the rear wheels (But still be hidden)

Amazing what a little (or a lot) of simplegreen can do. I say you you send them a bill because those pics there are a good advertisement.

Yeah, for real & they could give a lifetime supply for payment :metal:

Now if I could just get free tires... Hmms :rolleyes:

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Do you have full length headers? My glasspacks run straight back... on either side of the Trans. Also you have to think about how low you're gonna go? my buddy had a '72 blazer that was slammed to the ground and had the chrome '67 corvette pipes along the cab back to the wheels.:c2: You should just run straight back until you get under the bed then turn 'em out toward the wheels. I don't know?... it's your call!

Re: "One really slow build" thread

If I do run them outside the frame, I'll cut a hole in the frame & put a piece of 1/4" pipe / box the inside (for the pipe to run through)

But I think I'm not gonnna run em outside, because of the extra work (I wanna get my truck finished)

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Whats the meaning of that word ? :lol:

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Well I have decided to run a "normal" fan for a while, just to get my truck on the road

I went to a show with Tav the other night & just really wished I had my truck

I am getting really close, so I'm trying not to do anything I don't have to
Plus it'll give me little weekend projects to do

I have to finish my X-member install, hook up the drive shaft (and maybe have it cut down), do my exhaust, tweak my throttle peddle, put a new water pump on, & prolly some other things I'm not thinking of

Hope to finish soon :metal:

"One really slow build" thread *Get'n Close*

Well I'm get'n close to be'n finished (is there such a thing :lol: )

I changed out the leaky water pump & put on a "normal" fan

Mocked up my exhaust, so I could hear it (It sounds awesome :metal: )

But now the bad news
I was putting on my "new" rear yoke (that part went fine), but when I went to hook up the drive shaft I was tightening it up & one of the bolts snapped off in the yoke :no: :censored:

:blah: On with the pics

My fan is huge (keeps the engine at 150, with no shroud)

Don't remember showing a pic of my wheels (This one is the worst, cuz PO's cat like to pee in it)

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05160031.jpg

Old exhaust (my new exhaust will do the same, but be hidden)

Don't think I ever showed a pic of the tool tray I built

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Good to hear about the progress - any chance you got a sound clip of the exhuast? If so, post it up!

Re: "One really slow build" thread

This is the shroud I'll be using, just gotta get some new mounting hardware

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...7_05160057.jpg

This is the bolt I broke off (Dang that pisses me off)

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Does suck about the bolt breaking - how's your access to it to be able to get the remaining portion out?

Well I have the tools & the know how, but the want to is not there
SO I guess it depends on what a new one costs :crazy:

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Nice thread and truck :metal:

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Oh yeah, gotta have the CherryBomb sticker :D :D.

Truck is coming along nicely :metal:

Re: "One really slow build" thread

I downloaded a recording program on my laptop, so I should be able to get a a sound clip soon

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Well I picked up the pipe & hangers for my exhaust yesterday, so I will be getting that on today

I also plan to get my rear yoke & X-member finished, that'll be everything under the truck :metal:

So by Tuesday, I plan to be street legal & on the road :metal: :metal: :metal: :metal: :metal: :metal: :metal: :metal: :metal:
