Did you just order up a pile of straight pipe, 90's, and 45's and piece them together, or did you get some custom bends made and do it that way?

Looks great, thanks for taking the time to post a build thread. I've never seen a truck I like as much as any one of the many you've done!

That's how he did it. He used every last inch of pipe he purchased and then a little more....

Man, I'm sorry I know nothing about these....I'm praying right now that I set my dizzy up right or I get to take it apart (completely) to pull it out and re-stab it.....

jlaird · 06-24-2011, 08:36 PM

Is all that exhaust pipe stainless? Did you tig the joints?

I was talking with my buddy (Roger) this morning and he said that MSD also made a system like this.....you may want to check into it.....

Love the ram-horn style headers. Who makes them?

abebummy26 · 06-27-2011, 01:53 PM

speedway motors here they are http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Stainl...DisplayId=3823

Thx!

tantrumpipeline · 07-01-2011, 07:39 PM

this build is sweet, very talented work, to be expected after seeing stella's build though

n2billet · 07-02-2011, 11:06 PM

Well, I started wiring the truck. I started up front with the dual HD fans, I didn't want to have the relays in one location and the connections in another so I found a vacant spot and made a mount to hold all the components and then a cover to "hide" it all........I think the cover looks like a Kleenex box

This is the reason it takes me forever to finish anything!

**lolife99** · 07-02-2011, 11:21 PM

NICE detail work

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-02-2011, 11:29 PM

Thats the baddest kleenex box I have ever seen...

**67cheby** · 07-02-2011, 11:47 PM

Sweeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Painter D · 07-03-2011, 09:25 AM

It may take you forever to finish everything, but everything looks super nice when it's done.

**STP67-72** · 07-03-2011, 09:49 AM

When i say that i throw my trucks together, this build is why. Another great job. Probably another sleepless night building this thing in your head.
Wish i lived about 5 hrs. closer to keep a eye on you and Scoties builds.

Yeah, I lay in bed and think about a certain "project" and it usually goes something like this: I can build that in about 4 hours so I'm going to go ahead and do it but this is what really happens: I didn't think it would take four days and me taking the truck half apart.....again.
If you lived closer you would hate me and Scoti because we would be at your shop all the time "looking" at all your parts!

boonedogs72 · 07-03-2011, 10:49 AM

every little piece u build for this thing is top notch i love it all!

n2billet · 07-03-2011, 10:32 PM

Today I worked on getting the rear end that I got from lolife99 (Keith) stripped down and the bag mounts welded up. I cut all the little brackets that I didn't need and the panhard mount off. I then treated it to an acid bath to try and stop the flash rusting while the new gears are getting set up....I should have it in paint next weekend "should".
