She's Coming Back To Life

Will do. The only problem is the motors a 5.4 liter so I don't know if anything short of a blower is going to make a real difference. I just drive like it's an old 125cc dirt bike. Rev the hell out of it and carry your corner speeds.

Nothing wrong with a 5.4L. Just remember you and I in that lake bed drag race out in Johnson Valley while in your 6.2L. Plus all my bed weight. HAHA!

Hey I got a 5.4 there's plenty of power there haha and it's solid as a rock!!! I was looking at those headers too saw them on eBay so I'm definitely interested in how they perform

Whats up everyone. Sorry for not posting up pics in a few days but I have been in Northern California for a week so I only got a chance to get back to work on the truck today. We were able to get the shock mounts cut today, make the center section for the tire carrier, started in on the battery box and finally started on the interior cage.

Shock mounts cut:


New center section for rear tire carrier:


Front cross tube radiused to lay under the dash. Still needs to be bent in at the ends and trimmed to size:


Rear C pillar hoop mocked up from cheap DOM to get sizing right before we bend the expensive stuff:


Thanks for looking, I will get more pics and progress reports up tomorrow.
