Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

...I`m sure they have something similar to the following:

however coupled with a few sensors for front/rear, right/left computer adjustment
and 4 wheel/tire air pressure sensors, and you`ve got a F1 Super-Truck!!!
(And dont forget about the SS lines and ultra-synthetic brake fluid....grin).

Well the firewall is complete - turned out very nice

Pics of the bracing to support the new firewall

First piece of metal going on.

The Almost Finished Product

You can see how the side seam was rolled over

This is the second to last piece that need to be installed

My favorite Part - You can see that the lower lip / seam was also removed

From the inside of the cab view

Never going to have problem getting to the trans bolts again

The end of the steering shaft has bend covered

This is the mock up Wilwood Master - My new one just came in today

10-01-05 Update - The cab is back on the frame.

The dash is back in the truck and you can see the vintage air unit mounted behind the Radio/Ash Tray

The new Cab mounted Door hinge. This should help us get the door gap a little better.

Here's the new Master Cylinder

Well my truck was kinda feeling like Bob a little in adequate.

But the Good News is we found
www.precisionbrakescompany.com

Wow were they able to help.

I picked up the phone called them @ 1-866-992-7253

There first words to me were, we can help you with your little problem.

They said close your eye's and just trust us.

I said you promise it won't hurt.

They said nope we do this all the time.

I smiled.

This is what they sent me to help me with my little problem.
First was this Huge Rotor

Then this nice little bracket to help support me.

They even gave me this nice little bag of hardware just in case

Plus a shinny new Hub

Then the big change I put it all together.

Wait i almost forgot you need to protect yourself with these.

I heard they help you stop.

Now this is what it's suppose to look like.

So in the end i'm not sure if Enzyte will work for me, But i can tell you first hand that it worked miracles on my brakes.​

You can see that the bed now lines up with the cab.

Here is what we had to do to make it look nice.

The New, New and finally New Motor Mounts

I just really like this picture

My new Throttle Cable

New Gas Pedal waiting to get attached

I almost forgot the truck is all together less the hood.

we have a set of exhaust bellow to take out some of the stress on the system. Plus we are going to make a bracket to mount the turbos to the motor.
