that truck is LOW if you would be able to pull the wheels up off the ground you prolly could change a tire without a jack the wheels are on garagerollers and its still laying rockers when aired out , prolly be a little less when the inner fenders go in there again though

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
its realy hard to weld cast aluminium aspecially if its used coroded and soaked in oil you just never be able to clean it so mush that there whont be stuff oozing out of the casting and contaminating the weldbead , it might work but i think he be having leaks and cracks after only a little use with the heatcycles vibrations and other stuff that happens on the road
come to think of it you might have more luck using epoxi and gleu the plate on |

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
nice...... looks like the idea is working , now to find an old corvette doghouse style injection manifold
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...nobreather.jpg if you try that it might be eazier to have sumtin made that only looks like it and hollow on a 3D printer so you can trim the bottom edge and stick it over the original manifold with some stuck on bolts or epoxy or sumtin like that you could hide a ton of modern stuff under there |
Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Saw the first pic and got excited about your custom LSx V-12. :lol: That is a really cool use of the old valve covers; very clean way to hide the coil packs. And I love that old GMC stamping. Too cool Mike!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Looks good! Some of the infamous semi-hemi GMC heads, huh?
|
Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
great idea on the valve covers

Those valve covers over the coils will look sweet...... |
Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
That's trick! Isn't that the same script as the tailgate's getting? I see a theme developing here! Now if you can work in some of those missile-tip bumperettes off a mid-50's GMC....

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
No joke! That's a really cool idea Mike.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Thanks guys I really I am pumped about how they turned out, I would love to find the matching script for the tailgate ! I need a matching valve cover still also, if anyone has one laying around !

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
i was thinking a bit further on covering the intake , you could just use an carburettor style aircleaner fitted over the intakemanifold
http://images.jcwstatics.com/is/imag...00_1?$JCW_SKU$ , that would keep it low and it prolly would be eazier cheaper and lower dan a doghouse manifold too , if it works you could paint it the same way as cloud 9 if you get one thats high enough you might even be able to hide the ecu in there they might have versions for dual carbs too that should e a bit longer and oval shaped |

Man thats sweet Mike!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
looks great realy like the temperature controller , i wonder if they can use a front like that to build remote radiocontrolls as whell , it would be nice as it keeps everything in the dash in the same rounded style
|
Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Hold on......is it Christmas again already? :lol: oh wait i'm seeing stuff just at the awesomeness of those products!!!!! The gauges look sweet!!! I'm amped to see what they look like in the dash it's definitely going to be killer!!
