Re: Used Parts Build
Finished welding up my down(up) pipe.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4873/...316a72e5_h.jpg Have a small about of sugaring on the inside. Thought my purge was good but must of had some air in there. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4895/...725c1b38_h.jpg Made another exhaust pipe to run off of my waste gate. I was thinking of routing it back into the down pipe but since this one is just for show I thought two would be cooler. I am going to brace them together next. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4836/...cf1ba204_h.jpg Here is where it is it now. I need to rub them both down with a scotch brite pad so the finish matches. |

Re: Used Parts Build
How did I miss this build until now... holy crap, cats and dogs living together! I love it! That pic of the front of your truck with the drop and turbo set up is my new screen saver! Can't wait to see more!!!!

Re: Used Parts Build
Thanks guys. I haven't done much recently. The usual excuses (saving money, no time, getting burned out, blah, blah) but I started getting parts for it. Got a TBSS intake, throttle body, radiator, got the front clip back on but didn't get a pic of that yet.
Here it is right before I put the front clip back on. I hope to drive it this summer... https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7851/...26e06d2f_b.jpg |
Re: Used Parts Build
Got my radiator in. Front clip on. Started running my cold side piping.

Glad your back at it... summer is coming

Re: Used Parts Build
Got my bov flange welded on. Crappy casting that fought me the whole way.
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7881/...b80a6222_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7893/...fd98f0e9_b.jpg IAT fitting on. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7841/...1ec76fc9_b.jpg Extended my intercooler. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7828/...e541fc00_b.jpg Cut my core support and fabbed up a mount for the top side. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7895/...74d0167d_b.jpg |
Re: Used Parts Build
Finished my cold side
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7812/...15a6bba2_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7819/...2e44e319_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7844/...a2e97af4_b.jpg Used my harbor freight beadroller to add flanges to my tubes. Here was a practice piece. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7859/...e956e002_b.jpg |
Re: Used Parts Build
I really need to move a bead roller up on my list of new tools. The last time I needed a lip like that I welded bead around the tube.

Got a bit of work done. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...76645ccf_b.jpg Had to make room for my brakes but the new booster didn't have a bracket. So I removed the old one and made it work. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...bf5907d4_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...46495c31_b.jpg Installed a Corvette disc/disc master cylinder https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e5ffc66b_b.jpg Need to make a new connection to the rod next. |
Re: Used Parts Build
Had to modify the rod a bit to fit my set up:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0738ee5a_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8109bf32_b.jpg Welded brackets onto a cheap aluminum overflow: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...833feb54_b.jpg Mounted it but need to adjust my air cleaner a bit: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6149c7db_b.jpg Its interesting buying parts and actually installing them. Kinda scary. |
Re: Used Parts Build
Got a bunch of little things done to the truck. None were really picture worthy. Then made a hidden panel that will go behind the tailgate just in case I get a dead battery or my compressors fail.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6e6ccc17_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a6a7b886_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...bb585d8d_b.jpg Then made a mounting plate out of stainless steel for my vacuum block and fuel pressure regulator. I welded all the bolts on for easy install. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...dcf33936_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2ab40447_b.jpg |
Re: Used Parts Build
Got my fuel lines ran (they look terrible...)
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b8874cda_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5a8791f9_b.jpg Made a vent for my rearend https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b792ffba_b.jpg Made a lower radiator hose set up https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cc0403c2_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...94367e16_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d0f2e433_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...963158c9_b.jpg Started on the upper hose but didn't order enough fittings to finish it https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...98d1e387_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...51e84e11_b.jpg |

I don't think anyone is going to lay on the ground under your truck and give you **** because your fuel lines aren't straight enough. Do they move fuel? That's all they need to do. |
Re: Used Parts Build
Haha, considering the quality of everything else, who cares about some wavy fuel lines! that hidden box idea is great. A little envious at your ability to do that stuff!

Re: Used Parts Build
Finally some pictures worth showing.
Here is a little tool I made to do my flange on my radiator lines since they wont fit in my bead roller. Got some crimper/cutters off Amazon https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...5e04fdf8_b.jpg Cut off the top, ground down this spot, and radius the edge of the inside https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0a7de6ea_b.jpg Then clamp away! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9c059134_b.jpg |
Re: Used Parts Build
Started my fuel filler neck
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2dd5cfe2_b.jpg Made a tab https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ac80396a_b.jpg Second tab https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f6835094_b.jpg Welded the cap to the tube https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...025f44ff_b.jpg Almost there https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d677ac59_b.jpg Adding the vent line https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1ec6e633_b.jpg |
Re: Used Parts Build
Finished up my filler tube
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...58156596_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...58b272fc_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7921a0a9_b.jpg Started a little panel for relays for my compressors and fuel pump https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...db57b78b_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...c9d5abe2_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...91d27305_b.jpg Lastly made a bracket for my throttle cable https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...22e95a73_b.jpg I also installed a shifter rod and throttle cable but didn't bother with pictures of those. |
