Need some ideas, photos and/or sources to get something done ... Needs an IN / OUT / Filler Neck / Breathing Outlet / Sending Unit.

Thanks!!

Look @ his (Rick's) 'vapor works' tank set-up.

Sweet cant wait to see more !!

trkfrk · 08-10-2011, 06:39 PM

Sounds like a nice build.. I will be watching. Spending a $100K? Are you doing the work or hiring it all out? Looking forward to more pics... Welcome to the board - great bunch of people.

I will type up an itemized list of what I've spent ... I'm doing most of the work with my buddy ... The only labor in the 100K is in the paint quote.

The truck with state tax was $18K of it before I started.

OUCH! I thought you were being sarcastic about the $100K....Man that is some serious cash. It will be an awesome truck when you get it done. More pics please.

Here is the FIRST rendering ... I would like as many opinions as possible.

Top is Gloss Black and the bottom of the silver stripe will be a FLAT MATTE RED.

Still toying with the idea of doing everything in Black Chrome or leaving the wheels in a brushed aluminum look.

Wheels are the wrong size right now ... New rendering is being made plus stance is WRONG ... It will have a 1" gap from top of tire.

trkfrk · 08-12-2011, 06:52 PM

I like it... That will look sick!

VA72C10 · 08-12-2011, 07:05 PM

Since you asked for opinions....

I like the overall look as shown but see some opportunities for improvement.....

On the break of the color though...IMO it looks better if you break it at the body line so the bed incorporates into the paint...vs now where it looks like the bed is separate from the cab.

On the door handles, I would either matte red them to match the paint or leave chrome.

I think the outer grille shell should be chromed with the letters in black like factory...

And do the bumpers and wheels in black chrome...

OR

What I mentioned above but make the silver in the color a brushed finish, brush the trim around the windows, the door handle, the grille, bumpers, and wheels...

OR

What I mentioned above but keep just the bumpers and wheels black chrome and the rest brushed.

OR

everything the same but the lip of the rim brushed and inside black chrome

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

Now looking at this rendering and some other trucks I'm interested in Air Bags for stance and aesthetics.

Can someone teach me about this ... I understand the basic concept. Will it effect performance? I can go to the track and get full performance while still having an up and down airbag system? Leaks? Level ride height issues? Who is the creme of the crop when it comes to AIr Bag systems? Accuair?

Also is there a company or fab shop that already has molds and has made front and rear bigger fenders to handle drops?

Thanks!
