You can see the baffles inside the tank. You can also see the pick up and the drain for the tank.

The return line

You can see the tank fit's snug. Also the "X" is going to be for the vent to the Charcoal Canister

Rear View - Lines up perfect with the bottom of the cladding - should make the belly pan look stock

The fronts are mounted and look awesome.
The rear are stuffed under the truck so we can so how it will look.
I plan to go back to the shop on Monday so we can cut the rear diff 1 3/8 of an inch.

12-26-05 Update

Okay I'm a little late getting my updates out.

My wife and family was very gracious and understanding and let me spend my day's off
from my real job working on the truck. I told everyone I had a great wife.

Did a little work on the inner fender Idea's - 1st example

2005_12_26_001.jpg


2nd example

2005_12_26_003.jpg


3rd example for the day - Still have more up my sleeve

2005_12_26_009.jpg


Finally found a suitable location for the fuel cell. It well hidden and yet we are still able to adjust it.

The New Wire Harness for the truck. This looks like fun

2005_12_29_001.jpg


2005_12_29_002.jpg


New Cross Brace on the rear Diff - this will also double as a tie down location

2005_12_30_006.jpg


You can see the fixture that is used when welding the end back on.
This will make sure everything stay in perfect alignment

01-02-06 Update - Can you believe it 2006

Happy New Year Everyone - My goal it to complete the truck this year.

I took out the Shockwave and installed the Adjustable rod so I could
set the ride height and see what it would look like on the ground.

2006_01_02_002.jpg


Did I mention that I installed the rear end? We still have to get new axles so I can put both tires on.

2006_01_02_003.jpg


Need to make a hole for the fuel fill - Dave at work

2006_01_02_007.jpg


The fuel cell is finally mounted and it looks great.

I agree with ya on the flexi stuff. I put it up so i could get an idea on routing. I was thinking that i may even use a AN Fitting type connection to match the rest of the plumbing.

use aluminum tubing and have it do it to match the paint dont use stainless it reacts with coolant and causes problems.

Good Morning All,

The final pieces of the bed floor have been cut and ready for welding. It's starting to look complete.

2006_01_07_002.jpg


Filler Neck for Fuel - It actually is just above the bed floor

2006_01_07_003.jpg

2006_01_07_007.jpg

2006_01_07_011.jpg


why is it coming apart - well were redoing the firewall for the 3rd time. Maybe this time i'll be happy.

2006_01_07_024.jpg

While we are there we are going to open up the wheel tub area and make them look exactly the same and offer more clearence.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

Okay here is a quick midweek update.

As you all know something is wrong with me.
We've moved the motor back to the center and i am finally happy again.

And Yep we've even added one more string.

2006_01_12_026.jpg


You can see exactly how much it moved over if you look at the intercooler elbow.

2006_01_12_027.jpg


more to come tommorow

We still plan to raise the motor up to gain more tire clearence however looks like the trans tunnel is going to get cut.

2006_01_12_033.jpg


Yep it's center
