now thats funny!! so any idea on a color or still thinking about it?? and i got a question about the brace by the door opening? you said it took forever to get into, would it be track safe to do like an s bar? instead of a slated straight piece that you have in there now! that way it would be a lil easier to get into!! jmo!!

==================================================
Thinking that original color that was on the cab in the begining....high gloss...some flake......and a white side strip with a pearl in it.....but haven't done any samples yet..

When i said it took forever dude....i ment that it's been a long time since my butt was in the truck not that it was difficult to get into.

You can't really do a S bar if you want to pass tech at the track because the drivers side bar has to fit to each driver..( passanger bar isn't even required just wanted it to match )....so if you taller that side bar would have to be higher...plus it also helps that when I get into the truck it would be bagged down and about a 1" off the ground so your stepping down into the seats....

plus....I will be running the " Quick " steering wheel kit...the kind that just pop off and snap back on.

[chad64chevy]

kind of like the same shape as the sides of the seats!!

[chad64chevy]

ok i wasnt for sure how they do things at the track but i have seen some like that! and i was just wondering!

Hey Wutnxt great roll cage work, I love this truck. Have you put any thought to how much horsepower it will take to run a given E.T and checked the NHRA Regs? Your fabricator looks like he knows plenty, so I'll continue hoping not to be talking to Austin Coil or something, 565 hp will put a 3700 lb truck @ about a 12sec e.t. An 11.5 only requires a roll bar. Here's a link to play with, not sure which horsepower it uses but I use both, dyno hp and -20% for drive train loss.

NHRA rules change at 10.5 and 9.5 etc, each second milestone = more bars on your cage. Getting in the 10's let alone the 9's takes serious power.

How much horsepower are you hoping for???

Dude the trucks looking nice! Question though, how do you get the bed off with the cage there? What color you plan on painting that thing?

==================================================

Well the front panel of the box comes off from the inside box side.....then the box is unbolted from it's mounts.....there is a rolled pan between the cage in the box and the front box panel that comes out....and after the batteries and fuel cell are delt with it sides off to the back of the truck.....Ya it's a bit of a pain but after it's all done and painted i shouldn't have to take it off for a long.....long time....crosses my fingers

Not sure yet what color but i am working on it....lol

[wutnxt]

This what it looks like looking from drivers door to the other door......along the floor and the seats mount to the bar you can see

==================================================
The chassis and the cage are both NHRA approved.....there is no problem with any of that...

HP is another thing altogether.....I have alot of options there, so I started with a big bottom end to allow for lots of add on. So depending on how we drive the blower they figure if they underdriver the blower....detune it...It would start out around 600HP ish to the rear...Which is probaly where i will start it at to do a break in and get used to it. What it's able to do on the top side is alot more but i think we will wait until I get to the dyno stage before I start tossing those numbers around. But the plan is after it's broke in and running, to up the drives on the blower and hit it with a nitrous set up.
But we will see....I have already ran all the numbers and had them checked at the engine shop and by my chassis buddy......but at this point they are all numbers....I might never take it to the track and be totally happy with where we start out at....it's a play be ear kind of thing at this point

Okay well......it sure sounded mature and all growen up when i was typing it..**LMAO**

[chad64chevy]

Well I made all of the oak kits for my other trucks....so I was thinking of doing oak in the very front and oak if the very back.....and uhm....Well I am considering having the center section air brushed to match the oak floor I put in......but still not sure on that one yet

[wutnxt]

Getting ready to do the rough exhaust work....

Thinking of going with 2"tube short fender headers that run to a 4" collector
and then dumping the 4" right out throught the side of the box infront of the tires.....still thinking flamer throwers in'em.....cause secretly I think I am still a kid....lol

I really like the detail you are putting into your build.

Thanks....when I am laying on my back next week grinding the boxed sections of the frame and making it all nice and smooth.....thats really going to make me feel better..

I wasn't going to get so carried away.....it was just supposed to be a Driver with attitude.....Then one thing leads to another and of course i suffer from "Tim the tool man" disease....bigger badder worst...

[chad64chevy]

that would be cool! i've been talking to a friend of mine today about having him make me a tonneau cover out of 1"-1.5" angle aluminum or steel for the side the two flat pieces for the top and have his uncle airbrush the wood and strips on it! i think that would look cool but that gonna be something i'll have done next summer

[Dieselwrencher]

It is really looking sweet! I'm loving the cross member mod to get the big ol blower pulley and belt in there! Those wheel tubs are big pimping! Keep at it man!

[Dieselwrencher]

It always does until you hit the street! We just finished a compound turbo 98 Dodge that should be around 700hp. It's a street truck. I took it out today, and was like HE** Yes! Now my Longhorn is getting another turbo and I sure hope I don't break my trans input.
