Polished? They (the valve cover set-up) look steel? Is that all aluminum?

CHROMAHOLIC · 10-09-2014, 05:31 AM

Valve covers are billet, fuel rail and injector cover is mild steel which will be painted

Bennett68C10 · 10-09-2014, 05:52 AM

Wow that engine cover looks awesome

CHROMAHOLIC · 10-16-2014, 07:30 PM

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-16-2014, 08:03 PM

Very nice metal work..

SCOTI · 10-16-2014, 11:33 PM

That's a sweet looking engine cover (and I can't stand engine covers) LoL.....

CHROMAHOLIC · 11-02-2014, 09:32 PM

rear wheel well splash pans being built....these are to hide the compressors and to quite them down a bit....the screening is just a mock up of how they will be once we get it in place. This is to allow airflow into them and they are open on the backside by the bumper for the air to flow right through. They are two piece so the air system will still easily accessible.

CHROMAHOLIC · 11-02-2014, 09:34 PM

custom made wire looms to keep wires hidden under the headers

y5mgisi · 11-02-2014, 09:40 PM

I know i only come in here and offer compliments, but this build is just on another level. Its so far beyond a truck at this point and has transitioned into such a piece of art. I really cant wait to see how many shows and magazine articles are written about it.

CHROMAHOLIC · 11-02-2014, 09:42 PM

Thanks man....

mooseknuckles · 11-02-2014, 09:47 PM

x2. Pretty slick set-up. This is a detail that really makes a difference w/the relocated coils & slick top cover set-up.

The fab work is soooo nice on this thing it's ridiculous.

CHROMAHOLIC · 11-03-2014, 07:38 PM

Isn´t that how it always goes? I wanted to "make it run" when I bought it, 14 Years later, it still isn´t done and I keep coming up with ideas every week!

I have to agree you truck is a different level than any other truck out there! Absolutely love it! Keep up the great work!

CHROMAHOLIC · 11-04-2014, 07:31 PM
