If so I can't wait to see how this looks cause I plan on running the same on mine someday when I have the funds for it. I really like the metal work your doing and the attention to detail. Looks great.

Nice, I ordered the mild rear a couple weeks ago and now I am really contemplating ordering the touring front. I'm hoping maybe it would give it a little more rake when aired out over the mild/mild combo. Are there any particular reasons why you chose the touring over the mild dropmember.

Not really .....I kinda went back a forth with Dave and decided this was the way I wanted to go .... I do like the idea of not having to notch the frame in front, can run a 1 piece drive shaft 4L60E ...LS2 combo, without adding a high hump trans tunnel.....and still achieve a ride height of 5" at the front cab mount....

Bennett68C10 · 02-05-2013, 11:46 PM

Thanks for the input, I can't wait to see pics of it installed

Man the cab you started with looks great, was it mostly rust free? I looks real good in the pictures.

In the 4th picture in post #2, Where did you get this firewall piece or did you fab it up?

Tuning in fore the rest of this build!

TXPinstriper · 03-19-2013, 01:55 PM

The firewall was a hand fab piece from direct sheet metal in El Cajon CA. It comes with the toe boards and ac delete panel you have to trim and install.

TXPinstriper · 04-01-2013, 11:04 AM

Updates see attached photos we have a few minor tweaks left and should have a rolling chassis this evening......

We were hoping for graduation time but I don't think we will make it probably next October....
