:jdp:

That thing is amazing! I love the rolls you put under the hood, that will completely draw attention to the motor.

Do you have a scheduled date for this to be complete? We need to get you and either this project, or your stepper, to the Midwest All Truck Nat's in 2010; or KS Goodguy's.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

thanks everyone....that is a stock inner fender, thats been moddified....i was experimenting with useing the stock ones, but the truck was just to low for that to happen....so it may land on "big red", but i dont know....as for being for sell, not at this time anyways.

dont have a completeion date, but im chipping away at it...this year has been real busy, with builds, and upcoming builds....

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

You are definitely taking your time and using your attention to detail, so keep at it... it looks amazing.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

started in on the hood....we wanted to keep the 71 style hood, but lower the front of it....so i choped 1.25" out of the front....here are some pics

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Very nice....this truck is coming along great!!!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Very nice work. i am looking foward to watching this.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

love the under hood work...gonna look clean!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

This is lookin really good!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I love all the custom fab work you're doing under the hood and to the hood ,it looks spectacular! Sectioning the hood is a unique idea and I personally haven't seen it done on a 72' hood can't wait to see how it turns out, the core support is another unique idea that's lookin sweet. Everything is executed very well and looks proportionate ,good job on this one.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

got a little more work on the hood done...welded the front header pnl back on (after it got lowered 1.25")...got the two pieces joined together again (this was very time consuming getting the fit right)...and got it all tacked together, the curved pieces on the side need to be pie-cut and molded in still, but you get the idea of the final product....IMO this is one of my favorite mods, its very subtle, but has that sleak 'somethings been done, but i dont know what' look...the front has that verical look(from the front) of the 71, but has that slight laid back look of the 67-68 style hoods....i cut releif cuts near the curve on the front and also in the middle, so i could give it more of a angle then the 71 hood, but less of that of a 67-68 hood..so far its coming out very well and i think it fits the look of the truck awsome..also here is a side-by-side compairison of a stock 71 hood and the moddified one...i also couldnt resist setting it on the truck for some pics..

Subscribed. Good to see a fellow Oklahoman on the site doing some great work. Keep it up and look forward to seeing more!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I told you guys he still had some great mods up his sleeve!!!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

wow thats a lot of work to pancake a hood...but it looks good!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Looks good....what are you going to do with the cowl cover?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

i may have missed it but where did you pick up the radiator from and could you provide any info on it looks like it fits very well thanks

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Lots of work...But definitely worth it...Great job..:metal:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

68 short, i was watching you cut that hood and i kept thinking why not just run the older hood with the slope.. Then i saw the final project and man, that is awesome. Its almost cowl hoodish looking without the cowl hood.. Sick.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

nice work Don!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Awesome fabrication work, Love those innner fenders so far!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Awesome Fab work! Can't believe I've never checked out this build!!! From the title, I had always figured the project was a lifted up 4x4 (which im not into)- Keep up the great work, project looks great!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

wow, that'll be on a magazine cover in no time!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

It is looking great....which calipers are those on the front?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Man, that truck is sofa king cool!!! :cool: Steller work and progress... What a masterpiece!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

I have a question. I seen that you ran the fan support through the radiator instead of making some kind of bracket to support it. I've heard that this could sometimes cause a leak in the radiator due to vibration and such. The question I have is this really that big of a concern when installing electric fans?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

thanks everyone.....wcodyp, the electric fan has some foam spacers that actually contact the radiator at the point of contact....the fan also has a 'lip' on the shroud so there is not a sharpe point hitting the rad. fins....all this sufrace area is mounted on the fins, and isnt hitting the core/tubes of the radiator....ive never had problems with electric fans causeing leaks in a radiator due to vibration....the manufactures instructions also say to mount the fan in this way, so i think we'll be ok.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Thank you 68 short step for taking the time to answer my question and great build on the truck so far.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

wow those are some big pics!

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

im working on fixing that now;)

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E

The hinges look like they belong with the scheme you have going. Very nice! :ito:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

:agree: they look great with the look you have going on. Where are you planning to put the struts?

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

WOW !!! That sheetmetal work is out of this world !! The whole build is incredible ! Great job !:chevy:

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

That is some nice fab work. Looking forward to see it when it's done.

Re: project INCREDIBLE HULK 6.2L with 6L80E
 

Got a chance to check this build out over the weekend. When it's all said and done it'll be a very nice ride. Don, great getting to meet you. Call or stop by if you're ever in OKC.
