Diesel33g Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Stop on by ^^^ :) When I have a running vehicle I'm out in Tmec at least every other week. So I'll definitely swing by sometime. Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 planning on getting the motor running soon, thinking of pre-mixing it so i dont have to run the oil injector set up, i dont like the ugly capulary tubes, radiator and front air bag set up also in the works Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 So are there plans to run a crossmember from notch to notch? You have a lot of force on those bag mounts and they tend to apply twisting force on frame rails. Build looks awesome, keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Ya its getting cross members in the back, just low profile ones so I can hide them kinda, thanks I've been eyeing yours as well, looks good! Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I figured you would. Keep up the awesome work! Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 did some spring cleaning in the shop this mourning, getting a list put together for the truck so i can bang some stuff out, its not too far off from running! Quote Link to comment
JohnnyD Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I just want to say that this was the most impressive build log I've read, and I've seen some pretty damn crazy ones. I just spend the last hour and half going from start to finish and man you have some amazing abilities and ideas. I wish I could even USE a welder, much less make ART like you can. When I see work like that, it makes me feel like I've wasted my life, haha! And i'm only 6 years younger than you!! :lol: Your attention to detail is phenomenal dude! I love, love, LOVE those door panels and the firewall beads, I've been thinking I wanted to make metal panels like those for my Z, but I have 0 fab ability, and no bank account to make up for that fact! I gotta step up my game. This has been an inspirational read. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that your car, your abilities, and your girl ;) are freaking amazing. Kudos on how far you've come! I can't wait to see the finished product, hopefully in person someday; I'd like to buy you a beer! Quote Link to comment
521 Johnny Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 comments like yours ^^ make me happy i started a thread, the truck dosnt even come close to some of the buggies, trucks and race cars i have built, therefore im even more appreciative of it. Thanks and anytime for the beer, youll have to come out to a car show one of these days :cool: Quote Link to comment
