Did a little something different. I faux boxed the frame to house all the wires and lines. They will be approx 1 1/8 off the frame. Definitely makes it look a little different. I bead-rolled and dimple-died them for a little extra fancy.

Awesome choice of wheels! Chassis is looking great too. I have been dead set on Racelines, I sure hope they don't screw up on mine when I'm ready to order.....

Hey buddy! Thank you, so much happier with my new choice. Raceline wasn't much help through the whole process, everytime there tried to fix something they made it worse. I would save the extra 400 to 500 and step up to a Boyd. Totally worth it in the end.

Looking really good, nice touches.

Thanks Mark! I am trying to go all out on this build. Hope I hit the mark!

Slick67 · 11-22-2016, 06:32 PM

Hoping there are no clearance issues. I may have to cut a little more out of the side to make sure. There needs to be about 1.5 inches of clearance on each side.

Now you are one of the cool kids! 😂 Glad you are back on!

**WIDESIDE72** · 11-27-2016, 08:16 PM

Cool build. Im looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Bennett68C10 · 12-01-2016, 12:38 PM

I love the new choice in wheels. I had a very similar problem with billet specialties but I was so frustrated I gave up on billet wheels all together!

I almost did. Raceline..........what a headache! Reconsider if it's not too late!

Slick67 · 12-16-2016, 03:24 AM

Three pics to fit it all in. 61 pieces I took to the powdercoater last weekend. Can't wait to see this back together!!!!

That'll Look awesome Once it's all Back Under the body.

Funny seeing all those parts after being exposed to humidity

😂😂😂 That's a drink holder for my buddy. It's an 18lb nut. It doesn't slide on carpet and your beer status safely inside.

Slick67 · 12-26-2016, 08:53 PM

Trying to figure out how to get this 90 degree hydroboost set up correctly. Seems to be off center and probably needs to have the arm cut and welded in a new position. Anyone got pics??

ajgriffin · 12-26-2016, 10:51 PM

There's an old build thread that has one installed, but it will take me some time to dig it out. In the meantime here is the thread where Scott's showed an install after they made them available for sale:

1. Make 2 flat plate brackets.

2. weld a piece of tubing in between.

3. bolt to pedal assembly

4. tack in place

5. unbolt pedal assembly and weld in.

If these pedals were ShamWows they'd sell themselves, LOL. Seriously though, I think he had mayb e an hour and a half in the install plus making the brackets.

reaper71 · 12-27-2016, 10:30 AM

I have noticed that alot of Guy's are going the Hydraboost direction.
(I'm NOT telling anyone how to build their rig) but in my personal experience I had a Hdraboost system go out while driving and you not only lose you Brakes but your Steering as well at the same time! It was the scariest thing I've had happen in along time. JMO Guys! I wouldn't want to see anyone get hurt or worse.

Mark...

ajgriffin · 12-27-2016, 11:47 AM

Also, I've been told that hydroboost can be noisy. I'm not sure if that's normal operation or if that's when there's a problem.

knomadd · 12-28-2016, 10:54 AM

Looking good! I hope you get the hydroboost mount figured out. I love how mine operate on my truck and GTO. They stop about as well as a new car.

I agree with Mark on one thing. It would be pretty scary to lose steering and brakes at once.

So you aren't scared off by Mark's experience I'll tell you what I know of the systems. I understand that when they fail, you would lose steering and brakes, but it's not a complete loss of either system. It's just like if your power steering pump goes out, you still have steering, it's just harder to do. It would be the same for the brakes. You can still stop and steer, it just takes more effort. If you break a line and lose all fluid, you would simply have a dry pump and no hydraulic assist. The manual connection is still there. If your brakes fail, you always have an e-brake (unless you removed it).

I've never heard a hydroboost system. I assume it would only be if you have a problem. Both of mine are as quiet as a church mouse.

Again, I'm not an expert and I don't claim to be. I've only had the experience of the two systems on my vehicles.

Slick67 · 01-20-2017, 01:06 AM

Well, this is kind of what I am thinking. Maybe a little darker blue than pictured but the rest is pretty close.
