Ive got to buy another radiator. The howe wont work, i need a double pass. Im leaving street tires on it for awhile. Most people get butt hurt when they get beat so someone is going to have to just keep at me about racing in order for me to change tires. Plus i live a hour from shreveport and will be on the road a lot. Im going to buy 2 back wheels and some full slicks for when i take it to the track.

 

Anybody need front brakes? Brembo front rotors on clearance from Summit. Better jump on it:

Thanks! Can't beat $25.

 

$112 shipped for 4 stock rotors. Paid $169 for my zink coated slotted and drilled. Did a test and picked up 10 feet over my old stock rotors from 50mph stop. Still a good deal of u wanna go back to stock style.

 

Just taking advantage of the cheap as hell price, since this paycheck isn't the play one. Then around the 15th i'll be looking for LS6 intake and if I can't find i'll do SFCs, Control arms and idk what else. Have been contemplating the tune too but I would prefer LS6 first.

 

Cheap slotted and drilled rotors are very prone to cracking...its been proven over and over again. Unless you wanna pony up for the expensive slotted rotors, I think a stock type blank is best budget option. I guess if people wanna do the cheap ones for looks then I can understand, but that's not really my thing.

 

mine have been on 2 years not one crack

 

From what I have seen they do seem to be hit or miss. Some people love them, some have problems pretty quick.

 

Johnny I enjoyed your pictures you sent. It has a lot of potential. Can I see it in person when I stop in town?

For everyone else who has expressed interest. I will be in touch.

Sure, I'll PM you about it.

 

Whoever gets these rockstar spots, feel free to donate your old stuff to the needy... or make us some good deals.

 

Got my exhaust all bent and cut. Just have to weld up the collectors and mufflers. Also fabbed up a trans crossmember but not sure i like it. I had nothing to go buy when i started so i just took a 6' piece and bent it where i thought it needed to be and its really close but i want better than close. Think im going to buy another stick and do it again now that i have something to go by. Ill post pics of the crossmember in a few.

 

My bending skills are getting pretty good.







This was the first 2 bends. The drivers side needed one more bend. Ill take pics of it all welded up and under the truck when its finished.

 

How the hell are you bending them so smoothly???

 

Lots of practice, trial and error, money, and trashed materials lol. Cant give up my secrets.

Going to do a roll cage soon and if it turns out good and passes tech i may start helping people seeing as there is only one guy in town that i know of and he is high and super hard to get a hold of. Once you get a hold to him the wait is sickening.

 

When you get good at cages let me know. Mine may be needing one.

 

Ive got to get seats for my truck and after that ill start on my cage. My truck "should" be done by august 1st. If so ill take it to the track to see if it will pass. I doubt they pass it because im not going through my back window. They will let me know if my hoop and door bars pass though. I just want to know if the bends and welds can pass if that makes sense.

 

get that ebrake cable off there and out of the way

 

I will once I go to vette disc's all the way around.
