Man You just barely got that alternator in there!

The turbo is awesome. It's gonna be fun to see how you plumb the exhaust.

i dont know yet !! i was at my friends shop the other day and he had some ls3 vette exhaust manifolds that look pretty god so i may do that and keep the all around modern factory look , thats why i wanted to use the pulley set up i used its all original looking therefore they will sit somewhere by the midfront of the side of the engine , i could spend the money and buy the nice ones but they will sit to far forward and it will look to custom for the look im looking for , we'll see

i dont know if i will call it fun anymore , i've been bulding for years , i'm taking a break after this one ,

big_al_71 · 09-14-2013, 10:48 AM

You can tell these guys that "you are tired" but I only have known you for about 25 years so I know better

I have a feeling that this truck is going to be probably the best vehicle you have ever built just in case this is the last one you are going out with a "Bang"

**Graham57a** · 09-14-2013, 01:51 PM

Love the project Raull, glad to see you're back at it. When are you planning to get the body painted?

raull · 09-17-2013, 11:07 PM

today i picked up a few goodies and fluids from the chevy dealer to keep me busy for the rest of the week , i took the engine out hopefuly for the last time ,i made the trims and adjustments on the chassis, started the brakes tabs and lines once again as its a new front end and hopefuly i will have the engine and tranny all in for good in the next few days, then im jumping to finish the rear suspension before i get a few boxes that im waiting on from justin

STOCKISH · 09-18-2013, 10:18 AM

Coming right along! Looks killer

**superflysteiny** · 09-18-2013, 02:45 PM

I guess I missed the whole turbo going in the truck. Now you really got my attention. It will be so cool with a snail in the engine bay

Don't mean to bring up bad things, but I wanted to see if you ever got the rear suspension configured correctly.

The rest of the build looks awesome buddy; glad to see you back on it.

**67cheby** · 09-19-2013, 01:46 PM

I am going to start running my lines tonight also, nice work
