Keep chipping Mark, keep chipping!
yup... if it can stay around long enough to be derivable it'll prob eventually get to the challenge haha...
took me longer then I wanted to get the housing and V band shipped out but thats how life is sometimes... anyway DNAsEqUeNcE over at turbo bricks got pics back to me today...
looks real nice, going to make building the down pipe much easier no need to transition for the 3"... so going to get some stuff done this week on the truck... FINALLY :)
I'd say:
lol the thought has crossed my mind along with a flapper valve...
I didn't post in here cause i'm a slacker...
I moved... lost my double car garage, my 220v power... but I do have a small 1 car garage that I should be able to finish the truck up in...
before we moved I managed to finish up the trans mount...
I needed a bit of 1 1/2" or so square tubing for the under support portion on the cross member... I didn't have any around and because i'm the cheapo that I am and wanting to use stuff i've got laying around I ended up using a bit of bed railing (L steel) that I found some time back, I just cut it and welded it together to make a square...
I didn't take any pics in process but this is the finished product after paint and stuff... all mounted up
I also got the bed mounted back on the truck... 2 of the 6 bolts where stuck... I'd tried the PB blaster and vice grips... failed... tried welding a nut to the exposed bolt, it would unscrew about 1/2 a turn then snap again... so I drilled them out and just put a long though grade 8 though bolt... then mounted the old man leer camper top... and built a ghetto tail gate out of some lumber from an old water bed and loaded the bed up...
so now we're working on getting the small garage orginized enough that I can work in (going to start with doing the final clean wiring of the megasquirt then go from there... I need to find a decent 110v wire feed welder to weld up my exhaust so i'm surfing CL (think I found one)... don't want to get rid of my italian made HF MIG as it's one of the better ones (pre china) but sucks that I won't be able to use it for quite some time :-/
oh also found out i've got e85 about 3 miles from me... so she'll prob be drinking the corn fuel...
so thats whats going on in Webster (south of houston)
