Wait till you see the basment they are redoing for me

After the story you told me the other day about getting the sheetrock down there, I am sure you are probably better off letting the kids do it.

I guess it's a good thing child labor laws don't abide to family

Good Morning All,

Guy has been busy working on the getting the turbo's & Wastegates coated.
He offers Ceramic/Metallic Hi Temp Coating that is done in house.

Turbo's stripped and getting ready.

Since this is part Show Truck / Driver.
Guy wanted to make sure the Exhaust housings looked good,
so some extra time was spent cleaning them up.

You can see the before and after pictures of the Wastegate.
Plenty of time was spent on the wastegates cleaning them up.

Step one - The Hi Temp coating has been applied to the exhaust housings.

and the Wastegate.

Now the fun part - polishing up the exhaust housing.

It's getting there - much better then the original rusty version.

almost looks like a butt if you ask me.

It's really good working with a shop that does hi temp coatings in house.

They also coat piston domes, combustion chambers, valves, and do dry film coatings on pistons and bearings,
and even do special coatings on interior surfaces of blocks to aid in oil drainback and heat dissipation.
Currently they are working on a special anti friction coating using Tungsten disulfide.
These guys are serious when it comes to this coating stuff!

There will be plenty modifications made to this hood so make sure you keep coming back to see what we have planned.

Kenny & Travis also started making sure the body of the truck was ready for paint.

There attention to detail is way over the top.

Once again I want to Thank Goodmark Industries for seeing our project and wanting to be part of it.
I look forward to working with them on all my future projects.

Lookin good Marty! I see you finally got the Syborg together, though I must say, it looks alittle smaller than I was originlly thinking. Is the interior cramped? ;)

looks good, I think they are being a little to picky, if the body work is that straight make sure the run the clear or get something in it at least. No paint job can ever be perfect... ;)

But in this case keep up the good work

I assure Kenny is really going to try to make this truck perfect. People are going to nit-pick the heck out of this truck. So he's going all out.

Kenny wasn't happy with the gap between the bumper and the tailgate
From the Factory it's well over and Inch.
You won't believe what it took to get the tailgate this close to the bumper.

2008_02_24_KD_2.jpg


The Intercooler opening has been finished off.
Also the factory support has been glassed into the front cover.

Getting ready to get loaded and headed over to get the Line-X.
Won't be long till you see the color.

I can't say enough good words about Kenny and his shop and I look forward to working with him on all of my future projects.

Looks good Marty! Been awhile but now that I'm back it makes me wish the ground was solid enough for me to start working on mine again. I'm eager to finish!
