In need of tires haha...

Thanks again GRacing

nitto 420's ftw! especially if you don't drive it in the winter, or even if you do they will get you through some snow. not 2 feet but a foot probably. my brother ran street tires on his regular cab dodge all winter, had no issues. he said it wasn't as good as his 35" toyo m/t's but he made it everywhere he needed to go just fine.

Definitely looking to go the 420 route. Thanks for the offer though

Should have pictures of the custom coolant, vacuum, and windshield washer tanks shortly.

 

[madman1234509]

Coolant tank and vacuum tank made as one piece. Should look pretty clean over in the gaping area where the drivers side battery box was

 

[Crack85]

Very clean

Dang that is nice! That engine bay is going to be one of a kind. Have any pics of the new battery setup? Unless I missed them somewhere......

 

[madman1234509]

They are mounted on the passenger side frame rail with oem Ford van battery boxes. I'll snap a few pictures next time I stop over there.

 

[madman1234509]

All done... Getting closer!!!

I'm really digging that custom tank. Great job

 

[TXAG07]

That's the way things are supposed to look right ther. Fab looks great.

I am excited as hell for you. Your build is nasty and very clean. I wish your friend lived closer so I could get some of that awesome fab work done.

Waiting on vid.

 

[madman1234509]

Haha sob started it before I got there. No fluid leaks. Idling well with no issues. Does haze little bit at idle, may have that address by Matt if and when I have a 2nd revision done. Got some small stuff to finish before it gets taken out. Gauges mounted and wired, some random misc brackets like for the dip sticks and what not.

Haha I wish some people that wanted builds done lived closer as well, and I'm sure he does too.

 

[madman1234509]

A few more pictures. Battery boxes. Fuel cell and filters mounted up. Pumps are tucked in the frame rail

I want to do battery boxes, but there isn't room with AMP's. I guess mine are going to the bed.

You're only about 2 hrs from me i think. I'm in manchester,ct 100 miles from lebanon valley. But in all honesty I'm not doing much of a custom setup. The hardest part of my build will be doing the low pressure fuel system. Turbo's are gonna be drop in. To make this easier. Hopefully you can do some test and tunes in the next few weeks, let me know when you plan to go to the track i'd like to head up there and see this beast eat up the 1/4 mile!

 

[madman1234509]

For sure. I'm probably an hour from Lebanon valley. I want to be optimistic about going out there but I don't have traction bars which won't help my 60ft at all and I've never been at a strip before, only boosted launches on back roads. We will see. Probably won't get out there until after TS. Shortly after TS I'll be putting my new wheels with some 420s on it and may be closer to having traction bars.
