looking good!

relieved?

DavidB · 04-28-2011, 10:32 PM

Kinda crazy how you have to drill out a autometer adaptor to fit the autometer sender it was made for. lol I ran into that myself. Very impressed with your time management between work, family, church and the truck.

Btw what is your eta on being done is it still on track hope you didn't have any storm damage terrible storms my wife is still having phone troubles and internet troubles makes it hard to talk to her. Anyway build looks great hope to see it one day. Can't wait to get home and start on mine. Your international fanbase seems to be growing as well good job.

I have to say I am falling behind my schedule. Work has really picked up, I am working on buying a business franchise, we have to watch the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA playoffs, the Royal Wedding is tonight, and on and on.

Don't know how I am going to fit it all in.

Good to see you have an honest body man..

Putter · 04-29-2011, 11:26 AM

Drew...I have been following this build for months....and JUST NOTICED your location. Watch out cause central Mississippi is just under 4 hours from you. Might have visitors one day!! Several of us members are here and we aren't afraid of a road trip!!

Progress looks amazing, by the way.

Wish I was closer, I would have helped you out on the axle... axles are my cake. I built an axle for maynardtruckin and tried as best as I could to let him know of any hold-ups.

That said, have you seen YOUR axle at the shop recently? Either they screwed something up BAD, or it is "misplaced" if they are not giving you the skinny on what's going on. What work were you having done to it?

The company working on it is doing it as a sideline for me. Their real business is running sprint car teams and they are traveling a lot now that the season has started. We had planned on having it done before racing broke loose, but I really don't need it until I am done with paint. It will be wrapped up by then, I went and saw it and it is headed to the powder coat man Monday. I'll get it back in a week, but don't have anywhere to put it except in the driveway.

jbclassix · 04-29-2011, 11:19 PM

busy with primary responsibilities is a good excuse! as for storing the axle, my front frame rails have been my axle storage, workbench and stand since the dana 60 semi float. Yours are too fancy to do that though.

Not as cool as what you are doing but this a cool truck.

Thanks, I'm swamped with work which is great- but no time to fit in family and work plus truck. Somebody has to lose, and since I didn't father any of you guys, there are no truck posts.

**67cheby** · 05-04-2011, 03:52 PM

I'm sure it's not as fancy but it definitely looks like a good deal!

Keep up the good work Drew, good to hear business is good

drewskiren · 05-06-2011, 05:42 PM

I got the GTO manifolds that I was dying to have, but after looking at them next to the truck manifolds, I am not sure why they would be any better. Is there anyone here on the board who could say or explain why these flow better? The Car Craft article noted earlier in my thread says the GTO style were worth 12 HP over the Camaro style. I wonder if these are also better than my truck style.

The new one are on top, truck manifolds on the bottom shot.

kmdracer · 05-07-2011, 09:20 AM

IIRC, I read an article that showed the truck manifold flowed almost as well as the Corvettes. I don't remember how they fared against the f-bodies. At this point I would go with which ever fit your application better.
Oh, and howdy from Malaysia (been here 2 weeks or so, another week to go.

drewskiren · 05-08-2011, 10:42 AM

Guys,
Make sure it is a happy Mother's Day by spending time with your mother or mother of your kids instead of working on your truck. I declare that everyone has the day off from working on their truck!!!
