Re: Project...praise the lowered
That exhaust is sweet! Kinda fits the theme with the shotgun intake. That's my style too! I put a side exit exhaust on the ole straight six. Sound unique that's for sure!

Re: Project...praise the lowered
Nice work man! That is a 3" tip 18" long I think. It has a nice deep rumble actually but at cruising speed had kinda a non turbo'd diesel sound. Pretty cool I thought. I need to take a video of it. Again nice fab work. Looks like you got a lottttt of polishing to do!

Re: Project...praise the lowered
thanks fellas.all i used on the whole build was basic tools.for the aluminum...tin snips,hand held electric shears,a 2ft break ,drill,body hammer,block of wood,any sharp corner or round pipe laying around for bending longer stuff and about the only specialty tool is a bead roller.wish i had an english wheel and a power hammer.then i would make real cool stuff.so anyways,i didnt work on the beast yesterday.had to take it off for the first day of fishing season.fishmas day.but i did get a little more done to the overflow tank cover.hope to be back at it tomorrow.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
a little more progress today.and yesterday.yesterday i aired the truck to about ride height and set my rear end pinion angle with a digital level.nothing too exciting so no pics.then today on my way home from work i had a few mins to kill in the shop so i made the drivers side inner fender.i got real technical and used a peice of pipe clamped to the bench and my knee to form the shape i needed.a little more trimming,bead rolling,and smoothing and it should be ready for polish.

Re: Project...praise the lowered
when I hit stuff with a hammer or pipe, it sure doesn't look like that! and the only time I bend tin with my knee is by accident... looks amazing! so what kind of air filter is going in there? will the airbox need to be fabricated too? I am just guessing it's like the ram air..

today i shaped up the passenger side inner fender/cover.it needs a little tig welding at one seam but besides that turned out great.i also made a new rad support cover.i wasnt happy with the last one.just the way it bent in a few directions it looked odd.so i made this one a two piece.it turned out much better ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Project...praise the lowered
thanks.i have been working at it steady the last little while.now the nice weather is here im pushing hard to get it done.so the end of last week i finished the body work on the hood around where i cut the hole then primed it,made some bottom fender brackets and welded them to the frame,made and installed an aluminum fan shroud then mocked up the electric fan,ordered some new tires that should arrive this week.then today me and a couple buds rolled it outside so i could give it a much needed bath.then after rolling it back inside i noticed both box sides buckled in a little when i installed the lower front braces just ahead of the wheel openings.so then it was back to blocking.it just never ends with the box sides.after i got both spots in primer i sanded the rest of the truck getting it ready for a fresh coat of paint.gotta love the 30 dollar a gallon blitz black.not happy just scuff and blast it again.
