My truck taking its first breath of life -...

SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!

djracer · 07-29-2012, 12:48 AM

Now we got to get to work on rewiring the truck and putting the rest of the truck back together. We just did some temporary wiring to get the truck going today. Special Thanks go out to Mark Causey and Jerry Carlisle for helping today. I bought a used all aluminum radiator this week I just have to have it cleaned up before installing it. We are selling Cade's XR80 to buy more parts.

aggie91 · 07-29-2012, 05:14 PM

Looking good. When does Cade turn 16? I have only 11 more months on Korbin's truck to get it done by then. You are A LOT further along then we are!!!

Cade will be 15 the end of august. I am gonna start letting him drive his truck at the track as soon as it's finished.

djracer · 08-29-2012, 07:41 AM

We have made a good bit of progress but I have been too busy to stop and post pics. Here are some pics of the shifter mount I designed and we fabbed. My Chassis guy bent the tubing and my neighbor tig welded the mounting straps for the shifter itself. Mark Causey mig welded the other mounting brackets. I ordered a polished and anodized cover for the shifter. I hope it makes it by the weekend.

djracer · 08-29-2012, 07:44 AM

The seat for the truck is a second row suburban seat and the bottom flips forward so I didn't want to mount the shifter from the floor.

We got the exhaust done last Saturday. 3.5 inch manual cut outs and 3 in magnaflows turned out under the steps of the bed.

Truck sounds great need more video...

djracer · 08-30-2012, 10:49 PM

Maybe some tire smoking video soon! It's amazing how much quieter it is with the cut outs and 3 inch magnaflows.

redsled87 · 08-31-2012, 11:36 AM

Agreed. It sounds good. How much cam is in it? Its a 468 right? My 496 sounds good with headers open too.

djracer · 09-02-2012, 08:12 AM

It has the edelbrock Performer RPM Cam in it. I think the motor is standard but it might be 30 over. I have been working on the old motor for several years. I bought the motor complete but needing assembly. I upgraded to a closed chamber Dome Piston and 781 oval Ports. I just couldn't do the peanut ports and Flat tops it came with.

djracer · 09-02-2012, 03:26 PM

Not much done to them. I don't want to get too crazy for a 15yr old.
The sexy shifter cover just came in the mail. Pics Later.

djracer · 09-03-2012, 11:36 PM

bigboybodry · 09-04-2012, 02:53 PM
