nope not really a big fan of smooth Tailgates.

I really like just the shaved handle like on the Bully Syclone

Good Morning All,

Last Week sure was a busy one.
Headed down to Ar Kansas to see the progress on Dad's 57.
Check out the link.

Dave was able to complete most of the tin work for the Bed.
Without this piece it would have looked incomplete.

View from the underside.
This was a tough picture to take since it was sitting on the floor.

Mounted the charcoal canister.
I don't want my garage to smell like fuel.

Instead of making the bracket simple.
Dave took the time to make it pretty and simple.

The linkage is all hooked back up.

You can see the bell crank that we are using to change the pull.

Cable come out parallel to the manifold.
Still one more bracket to make on the Manifold
and one on the firewall.

Just a Quick look through the Back Wheel

Have to keep the family involved.
We had my daughter tape up the Billet Specialties Column.

We are trying to lay out the gauges and switches.
Also include will be a Cig lighter for the needed Radar Detector.

Just a design layout for the Dash. Nothing is set in stone.
We are going to wait to see what Bob Thrash comes up with.

Found a suitable location for the American Auto Wire Highway 22 Harness.
This is a very nice kit indeed. Can't wait to wire it.

Also found the location for the MSD box. But forgot to take the picture.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

why not just get a radar detector that is hard wired, and that has multiple remote sensors? That way you won't have some ugly thing suction cupped to the windshield.

I actually sold the defrost back window to some guy on this board. Never had a heated tailgate or bumper cover though.

Quick Update.

I flew down to Ar-Kansas over the weekend to meet with Kenny & the guy's at Kenny Davis Hot Rods. I have a little medical problem which is going to delay the build. Seems the Doctors feel it's important for them to remove the tumor in my neck something about cancer. Which means this is going to delay the truck by 4 weeks which puts it ready for paint in Late December. This is about the time the Riddler car will be ready for paint and bodywork at Troy's. So my truck would be delayed by at least two months waiting to get into Rad Rides body shop. So I needed to find a painter that is comprable in my eye's. Thus the reason I choose Kenny, I feel like this is going to be a very good Match.

The main reason I don't want to delay the truck by another 2 months is i want to make sure it's ready for Hvaoc in 07 and i actually make it to Sema in 07.

3 weeks from today i'll be in surgery and the bad news is i won't be able to talk for 3 day's - EAK !! and if you know me this is going to be very hard for me. My wife told me she is looking forward to the peace and quiet.

Materialistic items can ALWAYS wait. That is a little more important.... :)

Sorry to hear about the surgery, I guess the big shots didn't help? Well the truck is coming along great and hopefully everything goes well with you at the hospital we all on the site will be praying for you. Good luck, you and the truck:rotf:

...dude, I have no doubts that you`ll meet and exceed your goals, and probably put an ls1 into
the ole SoGT in the margins! There still is time to put an air jack INDY/CART system in the SyBorg.
Slamming to monster truck in a single whooosh!
