You could damn near run right through a brick wall with that bumper lol. Really coming along nice. You make up your mind yet with the rear bumper??

 

[IDIoit]

still on the fence about building a flatbed or not.

 

[sjwelds]

That would make it a CCC-SSFB

5 1/4-20 bolts now hold them in place.

Looks good in there but what's that thing on top of the engine?

 

[IDIoit]

Make those "foothold triangles" bigger. Unless yousa got tiny little feet and never wear boots. That thing looks like a rainy-day-teaser-that-gets-you-a-busted-shin-and-knee.

X20 on the 093 firewall clearance. Took a ball pein hammer to mine

So that's an ATS kit right? Are you going to re-clock the turbo outlet at all? Seems like it's pretty tight there. Remind me what finish is on your manifold? It looks great on there.

 

[IDIoit]

this is the OEM 093 kit.
the one i took off my truck, its got the correct clocking for my CAC tubes.
im using it for mock up, and then maybe send it to Russ, or a SD-38, i am undecided.

may sell it if deemed not needed.

no ball peen hammers for me lol, ill be cutting and welding it up, then re-seamsealing it.
may even go as far as welding up that whole seam.

but that wont happen till i pull the mock up engine.

the intake on this engine is just a rattle can paint.
again, this engine is in just for mock up reasons.

wanna finish exhaust, fuel, air, coolant, paint everything and get it up to running status before i put the shiny engine in.

when made in diamond plate, it will have more grip.
i do wear steel toes everyday, and the one he made for his SD, wasnt an issue using it for a step.
