Impressive bumper and grille treatments among other things

hotrod1 · 09-22-2022, 09:25 PM

I've watched Hammerfabs videos in the past but didn't know they did this caliber work. Beautiful!

Back to work: Dash getting more mods. Added another spot for the pass pwr window switch(Original A/C was in this area). It was off balance and bare. Inner fenders are getting finished. Exhaust is about done. Just have to figure out how we want to exit.

tdishon · 11-29-2022, 11:30 PM

Firewall about done with countersunk booster.

greystoke · 11-29-2022, 11:35 PM

That is sweet!!!!

Kevin_C · 11-29-2022, 11:49 PM

Man pure art!

6DoF · 11-30-2022, 03:29 PM

so good ... this better not be garage candy, haha

57FleetsideC4 · 12-01-2022, 10:22 AM

Very Nice!! Steve

62 Barnfind · 12-01-2022, 08:36 PM

Nice job on the counter sunk booster. I wish I would have though of that.

tdishon · 02-22-2023, 11:21 PM

Getting close. 95% of metal work is complete. Grill has ducts for intake and transmission cooler. 3D printed until all bugs worked out, then off to get machined out of aluminum. Blinker is around the duct just behind the lip.

tdishon · 02-22-2023, 11:34 PM

Working on intake to air box.

6DoF · 02-23-2023, 08:59 AM

i have stuff running on the printer right now, i love that stuff. makes those test and visualizations cake

tdishon · 05-15-2023, 01:57 PM

Been a while for updates. Front is coming along nicely.

dsraven · 05-15-2023, 02:09 PM

I was wondering if you fell off the edge of the world.
Looks very good.

A little break for other projects. Progress though:-)

tdishon · 06-12-2023, 01:43 PM

Progress on air intake, trans cooler, brake pedal support and gas pedal mounting.

daveshilling · 06-13-2023, 08:33 PM

man I hope to see this truck in person someday!

dsraven · 06-13-2023, 08:34 PM

Yeah, that would be great. He is prolly working 4 jobs to pay for it so no time for updates

Most of the work this last month has been on fluid lines, wiring and trans linkage. The pictures would be boring stuff. LoL

Tell me right now that the lines and wiring don't look super professional and clean...

I guess I'll have to post some pics. On the wiring, I like MIL-Spec connectors. Just my own person preference. Makes it very sectional and transfers nice out the cab. Work in progress...

**youngrodder** · 06-15-2023, 09:35 AM

Soo good. I REALLY like those one off valve covers.

Marc

dsraven · 06-15-2023, 09:37 AM

Yeah, nice work. I like those valve covers as well. I might knock out a few sets if I have 15 minutes to spare.

As if.

tdishon · 06-28-2023, 11:18 PM

Getting some pics done for a poster in its current state. Still need the impala taillights and other things, but she looks good in bare metal.

dsraven · 06-28-2023, 11:21 PM

Looks awesome. Great to have pics for when its bench racing time.
