Re: Finally my own build thread!
Thanks everyone for the complements. I just went over all the pics and realized that they look alot better in person than in those pics. Some of those pics look dirty around the welds which they aren't. Maybe it was the angle of the pic and the lighting. Anyways i got some emails today about having someone make the intake flanges for the sheetmetal intake so hopefully in week or two i can start the intake manifold. Thanks again!!!
Josh

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Finally!!!! Yesterday i was able to move the truck over to the shop. It was very exciting because i have been trying to move it for a while and now since it is moved i feel like i can work on it again. I never realized how wide the truck is until i loaded it on the trailer. I only had a few inches of clearance. That was a little scary but its all done!!!! Anyways i took some pics of the truck on the trailer just because i am a little.
Josh

Re: Finally my own build thread!
abadsvt,
I've been scanning all the pages of this build and haven't seen it yet..... Did you ever post up the details on teh wheel/tire combo? Those look like Foose Nitrous (my favorite!) but I was curious about the diameters/widths and what sort of tire sizes you ultimately decided on. The look is REALLY balanced and aesthetically "right", so you've got me wondering. oh, and subscribed.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Just out of curiousity, what do you do for a living? Some serious skills, just wondering if you aquire those on your own tinkering time, or if they get honed at some fab type career.
Thanks,

Re: Finally my own build thread!
It's amazing what a little work area can do for a project (it's very motivating). I think you're doing a heck of a job & look forward to these updates.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Actually i was going to paint it HOK TruBlu. I have painted it before and absolutely loved the color. I thought about going red but there are alot of red trucks so that is what persuaded me to go blue. Here is a pic of the red rendering.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Man, You don't understand how much that motivates me! That about hits my build dead on, other then the rims! Keeps up the good work. I know how it feels to get into a new place to work. We just moved our shop from 1250 Sq Ft to 2500 Sq ft. Its the difference between night and day!
