Cheapest of what is out there but uses all name brand(tuff stuff) didn't really want to yo that route due to cost but I couldn't live with the hacked up inner fender. One down fall of the LS I guess

[Advanced Design]

Yes it is. Rad Rides by Troy built an AD truck with LS and the Compressor was in the stock location. Didn't have the opportunity to ask them what chassis they had or what mount they used. I don't plan to hack my inner fenders either.

Thanks for the lead!

What front end are you using? If it is mustangii I could not find away around it. If it is a camaro clip there is a bracket that will work mounting low. I have one not being used

[Iceburgh]

Thanks white

Thanks, I have a MII. Street rodder had an AD built with an LS and they cut the inner fenders....looks like an afterthought....oops we missed that one coming.

That is why I am almost set of not having AC at all in mine. We only need it 2 months a year up here anyways. I'll probably go with the stock heater and maybe a swamp cooler.

Iceburgh, that is looking awesome. You've got me excited to get mine that far.

pretty
life gets in the way some time, family first though



do add the flow reducer to the gm pump before you button everything up
i had twitchy steering and ended up with a leaky rack before i added the flow reducer

[Iceburgh]

I used a kit from speedway that uses shims. I think it is the same result. Drops the pressure to 850 lbs

[Iceburgh]

Homemade coil pack covers.
$14 and a little time.
Just need to splash on some paint

[Advanced Design]

Really nice looking! Much better than the coils.

[youngrodder]

Unique solution. Looks great.

Moving along....long days and nights in the garage
Exhaust is on frame is 100% complete...even have cut the drive shaft and put it in

[Iceburgh]

Floor braces welded in places ( added a 3rd up front) so the bolt heads wont get in the way

[Iceburgh]

New floor cut and put in place...on top of flange. Had to add 3/4" strips front, back and all cross members

(covered in tape to protect)

[Iceburgh]

Rear door jambs, side door jambs and firewall in primer.
Paint tomorrow maybe . Then I can put the body on the frame to finish all other body work





Few areas need a little work but not bad.

Off to Reno on Monday for vacation and Hot August Nights car show

[Advanced Design]

Looks great Iceburgh! Exhaust is sweet. Where did you get the components?

Everything looks good. Lotta hours to get there....enjoy vacation!

[youngrodder]

Man your killin it...Now you can see why I picked you to finish your burb project first. What color are you going with?

Your progress looks great. Following yours makes me think I'm not getting anything done with mine..ha ha

Iceburg, chassis and exhaust look super. Nice job on the braces and floor. Primed areas look good, nice work, and as above enjoy your vacation...Jim

[Iceburgh]

All the exhaust came from Summit. I don't have a local speed shop, they closed the doors about 2 years ago . Summit can get me parts in a day,

Color Scheme is going to be white and silver with some red and black in it. I painted my FIL truck white and silver due to the fact that is what we had in the shop at the time. People love and it just has a clean look to it.

Never been to Reno just to hang out always had to work, so looking forward to it. They get about 6000 cars so should be a blast


FIL truck... we built this from the scrap yard and a few extras. Might be $8k in that truck they way you see it

[iowaboynca]

OMG...this is the color scheme i was thinking for my truck, (maybe a little more champagne) but this is awesome. I think this is such a clean look. i need to to get up to hot august nites one of these years.

That looks really nice! Thanks for the exhaust info...I order regularly from Summit and Jegs. Reno sounds like a great time. Enjoy!

[Iceburgh]

So we meet again...finally,
Got the firewall smoothed and painted and buffed. Just a lift from a buddy and it slid right on

[Advanced Design]

Congratulations Iceburgh. Your 'Burb looks awesome! Making fast progress.
