Okay, so i feel like a project log is well needed by now. Little break down for everybody. Bought the car locally, was already painted synergy green when i got it. When i got it home i found hacked floor work with putty slapped everywhere with undercoating all over it, along with holes in the front section of the floor, and the typical cut out fuel pump hole in the floor because of lazyiness. Well i patched all that with parts from another car and back to being a good roller again!

all the rust we found when we pulled the carpet out





here most of the rust removed





fitting the fuel cell while were at it to be sure its going to fit





new trunk pan plug welded into place. Not a show car so just did it the fastest and easiest way possible. Anything is better that riveted sheet metal with putty





welded new panel in and seam sealed it. primed and painted the bare metal.





seamed sealed and primed and painted the bare metal





ran a final layer of seam sealer on it.





used our bedlining gun and used some left over bedlining we had from a previous truck to seal this up for good . Didnt turn out too bad considering how quickly we did it.

 

rust directly on the seat buckle hole. Dont want that. Had to remove the inner panel and weld a new inner panel in.





Fitted up the comp engineering cage. Worst cage ive fit up yet .

here you can see we decided to not go with their cage and make our own along with using a few pieces of pipe from their kit. Everything still had to be cut and notched.

heres the completed front before powdercaoting





boxed in everything where material had to be removed including notching the rails and plating them.





bay painted gloss black





looking a little more completed at this point .

 

test fitting the turbo





ceramic coated, wrapped, and ss v bands tigged on





okay, so this is really the first time this info has been released. We worked closey with matt from billet speed to bring you guys what we believe is the best alternator relocation on the market. Not only can you use the truck alternator, but you can also use high rise valvecovers.





As you can see, the mount allows for plenty of water pump wrap along with tons of clearence for your flipped manifolds. If your interested in one of these, contact me or matt from billet speed to purchase one!

 

Nice build!!! I'm following this build now!

 

Looks good. Love me another LT to Turbo LS swap

 

V band manifolds all done





Wanted some more airflow for the intercooler so i drilled 2 2.5" holes in the bumper and installed a crappy grill overtop.





Fuel rails powdercoated gloss black. The red on the inside of the rails is where they were anodized before.
