Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

I stumbled across that thing a year or two ago and couldn't believe it! I posted a link on my thread like I was the only one that had ever seen it. Sooo Rad! I'd love to see a shot of Peg layin next to the 10 second hay hauler!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
when i saw the first clips on you tube i thought it was turbocharged , never did see detailed pictures from under the hood or de specs on the engine like if they use an original or aftermarket block i only know its a 4 bolt big block and nos injected

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
I was rereading this thread again, admiring the work and I noticed that you abandoned the stamped GMC on the rear panel. Why is that?
Congratulations on the successful trip to SEMA!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
The owner is a very humble man. He said he has always wanted to go fast and he put everything he had into the truck. He remodeled a kitchen to pay for the trucks drive train. he said he was broke but he went for it and now he is on tv. It's an awesome story. He jumped on it leaving the parking lot and the truck twisted it was cool as hell

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
The Blazer looks killer Mike and congrats on making show! I keep spotting little details like the Tubz logo in the headliner. You gotta put up a photo spread for us and tell the story of your scramble before SEMA!

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
Have you put any miles on the truck yet? I ask because I'm curious about the heat build up from the coil packs under your faux valve covers. I know it was brought up previously but now that the truck is done I was just curious if you had noticed anything related to that.
My brother is running some of the later style coils that have heat sinks on the top of each of them but he did some testing with one of my sets which don't and he noticed mine without sinks were noticeably warmer than his set with sinks. Considering I've got two straight six covers waiting for this same mod, I was hoping I didn't need to buy the heat sink style coils on top of it! -Panelrodder BTW, I saw the truck at SEMA as well and it was probably my favorite of the show because I had followed the build here on the forum!
