Re: Shaved Sy --rebuild thread
Definitely not shaving all the cladding. Just keeping it off until the truck is 98% complete.
MSD box mount is made. All aluminum is cut and fitted. Now its time for a whole bunch of polishing.
Started to polish the mount for the MSD. If anyone is really good at polishing aluminum please with 8" wheels and rouges please shoot me a pm I am having a hard time getting a mirror finish without buffing marks.
Here is the start of polishing the drivers inner fender. This is going to suck!!
Fuel system is completed although I need to add a post pump filter to protect the injectors.
Shouldn't be long now!!! Yeah!!!!!:tup::tup::tup::tup:

I doesn't hang down a foot, the rear cladding isn't on the truck yet. Here is a pic of what the fuel setup looked like before all the body work was done. I have lifted it another 1.5" since this pic I will have another tank made if it hits the ground.

Re: Shaved Sy --rebuild thread
Thinking I am going to be throwing in the towel on finishing the Sy myself. My season is about to hit and I lose way to much $$ working on this truck. I have kicked my best friend out of my house and my life and he was the main one working on it with me so it's time to hand it off too some professionals to finish. I am packing up the truck tomorrow and getting a detailed ledger together to email to the extremely talented and bad ass individuals that will most likely be finishing the truck for me for an estimate. I will keep you posted as to what is going on but the Sy is taking up to much of my time and after only driving a total of 250 miles in the last 4 years I just really want to feel a 550hp boost launch. Before the truck leaves I plan on finishing the interior with custom dash, bed, front clip, and sanding and re-clearing the entire truck.
I want to finish it but I dont really want to do the wiring and I am missing out on so many big $$$ jobs effing with this money pit, so off it goes.

I'll give you a hint. I talked to one of the owners last night and he told me that they were almost done with your truck. I told him I want to see pics, asap. I am in FL.

Re: Shaved Sy --rebuild thread
Just a little shiny update...... I love shiny stuff.
These parts look amazing and it wasn't very expensive at all considering. By the way the alternator is 200 amps now.
Since edelbrock discontinued their polished pump and only do endurashine now I had mine polished.
And now for pics of them installed(partially) didn't have my allen head sockets with me.

Re: Shaved Sy --rebuild thread
Finally got to do some work on the Sy today. It's coming along nicely but should be moving along alot faster very soon.
Here is how it started: Rusty but mainly just surface, I believe this was take after wire wheeling with an 8" grinder.
Then some por15 Metal Ready and primer
Po15 and time for Sound deadening
I never want to do this again, it kinda of sucked.:tdown:
Back wall where 2 12" shallow mount subs are going
All done
And now for some pics of the custom dash, Scheduled to be covered in Alacantara black suede on this week.
