sub box looks awesome, I'm going to build mine and the kick pods too! I'm just going to have the kick panel ones up a lil higher so I can use the dimmer and have them pointed off at an lil angle! all mdf and fiberglass for both! I love the smooth painted look an also leather or vinyl covered! carpeted it just ok an plain jane, lol!

Wow! Just finished reading your complete build thread for this truck. Very nice with lots of unique additional details. You do really nice work. I don't know how I missed this build for so long. I followed your '58 FS build thread and really love that truck as well.

Well the most cruizing it's seen is going up and down on the hoist....It's not ready to go yet. I have been busy trying to get the shop hoist up and running and the bay so i can work in it. Well that and we have been crazy busy working on everything else but my truck.....how that works i have no idea but thats we roll apparently lol. I keep thinking about your magic tubing bender over there Bomp but i haven't had time to do that yet either.....

[Ta2Don]

What…No Pix!

[wutnxt]

Okay so i know i am behind in pictures but i have been crazy busy...Went to the exhaust shop and worked with the guys to get what i wanted.....then we pulled it all apart...yea your right the exhaust guy's thought i was nuts too. Anyhow I wanted to try something differnt so I ceramic coated the entire exhaust system.....

[wutnxt]

Poured the concrete .....bought a hoist.....moved it into the new bay... Hoists are heavy by the way and not easy to move. But with true redneck spirt and a little leverage,a set of car dollies and a tractore anything is possible.

[jlsanborn]

Nice! Looks like a few parts on that slab already. We'll wanna see a full shot of that exhaust once you've got it back on.

[clemdaddy]

ok... after the hoist we're sharing the internet beers. i saw the picture... hoist is in.

toasting one up right now...'here's to the hoist' ' may it forever work hard'

thanks for the beer and have a great memorial day.

Dude....first thanks for showing up on the thread between the group of diehards that show up here it really motivates me to keep working all night...lol

okay I think the exhaust looks sick....very cool...Now I want a oven...lol

[Bomp]

Here here,,,I agree with Clem. Toastin a beer.
Ceramic coating the whole exhaust system?!!!????? Dang. That'll keep the underside cool.
Addition to the shop and hoist will be real handy.
Gotta get my passport so I can come up and check it all out.

[jlsanborn]

Nice! Pricey?

[McMurphy]

Normal group of Diehards eh?

That exhaust does look slick as all get-out !!
A friend cautioned me about mounting the mufflers under the cab like that for sound resonance issues.
I am curious now to see how you like it.
Doing my exhaust is coming up fast on the list of gotta-get-done

Nice use of the word eh my friend....lol ...ya the normal group of diehards...
Well if you look up front you will notice I put a cross over tube up front . So about the mufflers under the floor thing here is how i look at that.
1) It's ceramic coated so that reduces radiant heat produced by 30%
2) I doubled up the sound deadner in advance on the floor
3) I placed underlay matting under the entire floor

Part of the choice to put the muffler where it is....was based on where i placed the two battery boxes on my frame rails. But right abouve the muffler on the floor there is the floor stiffner that has a big lip on it. If I find it's noisey there is enough room to put a shield in over it for both sound and heat.

I will let you know how that all works out but in theory it should all be good....lol

Yeah, I am really interested in how it performs.
I herculinered the interior of my cab, sound deadner, and floor matting all up under the carpet I put in too.
Thanks for the info, I am probably going to ask about this again later....

[wutnxt]

So on todays wut not to do in the shop....

I had the guy's looking at me like I was crazy ( not new ) today when we were working on trying to get a 4 wheel disc brake conversion to clear the wheels on a project. I just traced out my wheel pattern indicator a cut a few pieces on the band saw.....lol . I just set it up until the rim cleared the caliper and measure it and ordered the right wheel spacers. Redneck wheel spacers to say the least...lol
