mrbigtanker Posted May 29 Author Report Share Posted May 29 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Ok so here is the deal. I will be pushing the intercooler higher up of course. The apron is not installed and will have to be reshaped to clear the intercooler as well. Next thing is possibly pull the front bumper off as you can see it's been smoothed out. Most people don't notice the little details. Anyway might slot the front bumper not sure yet if needed or how for more air flow. Getting the piping to turbo is easy as we can go around front frame support and swayer, passenger side we probably going through he fender well as the alternator will not allow for space. Stay tuned, this is so holding me up. Once this is installed coolant water and gas and start this bitch up, and pray she holds together. 4 Quote Link to comment
BrothersGarage Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 Probably get away with widening the ovals in the stock apron a good bit without too many people noticing much of a change. Could also add a 'Skid plate' with a scoop to capture air flowing under the truck a little too. 1 Quote Link to comment

My Syclone has a stop as well on the intercooler in the same location. And yes thinking or probably going to join the ovals and make one big crack like a whale vagina and call it good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 holy fuckballs where have i been what did you do with the green truck i loved that thing 🤣 that isn't even the same truck wads of cash there looks great 1 Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 I haven't looked at Ray's thread here in a while, either. That is one badass project, and I know how long that takes to get the stuff the way you want it. I've got a project that I've owned close to three years now, and the few things it needed still aren't done yet. I did grab a Mitsubishi sub, and I'm thinking I can make some room in the trunk for it.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Every time I see that photo, it makes me laugh. I'm assuming the Japanese developed that thing sonetime around the 40's. It looks like it would put out an insane amount of bass at damaging levels..

mrbigtanker Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Last piece of the interior to be completed. Wanted a subwoofer but since the cab is so small, I went with a 8" FOCAL that will go up against firewall on center hump along with the Alpine controller. I like this a lot and we made it as small as we could not take up so much space. 4 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 So this takes the place of the heater? Pretty cool spot for it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 I love the look. Similar to a speaker from the 80s. Hey Ray, you're a stereo guy. There's a shop in the LA area that modifies old head units to up the amps, make them bluetooth compatible and add inputs/outputs to the back. I've seen him on ebay before but now I can't find the guy. Have you ever run across this guy? 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Hmmmm. I've used Retro. Not the guy I'm thinking about. I want to put Pioneer KP500 in my cruisers. And I know they have built them up. 2 Quote Link to comment
