No mention of syty.net in the article?

they made a couple typo's and ommision in the article

Rockford RaceCraft is the engine Builder and Race Proven Motors supplied me with Block, Heads, Intake Manifold & Headers and a bunch of other stuff.

They are both great vendors and i enjoy working with both of them.

Okay i'll post some pics - what the heck

I'm my absence Dave was kind enough to order all of the stainless steel fitting for the brakes.
All $600.00 of them I hope this includes the brake lines.

Kevin (who's Kevin) retapped the Masters so we could use these fitting on the them.

Once again Kevin put a couple tabs on the frame for the brake line.

You can't really see the thru-frame piece but it's really cool.
ps - this is the rear brake line.

Yep Kevin welded a tab on the Manifold to hold the FPR

Pictures not that good but Kevin welded on the Billet Specialties oil bung.

One more Bung on the front of the intake Manifold.

Kevin Made the lids for the Intake boxes.

Okay I think Derrick made the little bracket and Kevin welded it.
We just wanted to add something simple to keep the bar from moving up and down.

Dave finished the dash sides. It actually looks like a factory dash at first glance.

Kevin made the holes adjust able for the remote wiper so we could get the wiper arms perfectly centered.

Okay last picture and it's really hard to see what was done.
Dave welded in a piece of tubing to the inner fender to add some strength.

I hope everyone had a great Thanks Giving and more pics to come next monday.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

Rear fill is overated in a standard cab really, you may not even need it depending on the front stage, imaging and power. :2cents: Looking good though :tup:

Good Morning All,

Mid Week Update - Will be back at the shop on Saturday to work on the truck again.

This is the complete Intercooler Air Intake & Filter Assembly

Side View - Weird looking isn't it.

New Ron Davis Radiator.

Top Side View

Hard to believe put I actually found a Radiator Hose that works.

Yep it works perfectly

Lower Radiator Hose also is off the shelf and it even works perfect.

Flex-a-lite Fans Mounted to the Radiator

You can see the mounting Tabs that Kevin made for the Fan kit. He still has two more to go.

Overflow Tank is mounted

Front Suspension Stop.

We added the 4th bolt on the frame for the Flaming Rivers Steering Box.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

okay need some help. Last night I was thinking about the interior. Right now we are focused on the Dash and I am trying to decided if we should paint it or cover it in leather.

Any and all opinions and advice is appreciated.
