You're going to tub the rear, put in a narrowed 9" rear, full 4-link rear with coil-overs, and install a parachute in an attempt to run 150mph through the traps.:bows

i say he was goofing off on the street, got loose and smacked a parked car,curb, and a poodle, then he was in a pinch for parts, conspired to have dougs track nabbed and is in the process of piecing his truck back together:evil

Now that is what I call a chain of events...it is kinda peculiar that this is going on right after Doug's truck gets ripped.

I think Mike has nothing better to do so he took apart his truck to see if he could put it back together and not have any pieces left over...

[FRDRCING]

Just a shot in the dark, but are you getting it re-painted?

Yeah most of my docs took off a week of doing surgery, then went to Hawaii for the AMOS meeting, then came back and havent scheduled surgeries till next week, so I've had some free time to kill

I'm trying to get rid of some excess trim, i'm trying to lose 1,000 or more pounds so I can run 9's

WMS has some tubular control arm for $2750 over on nloc :rolleyes:

what is it...100 lbs is roughly a .10 or something like that?

[99WhiteBeast]

resist the temptation:nono:

[TXLIGHTNING]

Just put some slicks on it and take it to the track like that. :evil

[True Blue Aggie]

Rear mounted turbo.

[BC Lightning]

I decided to change out my fuel filter and turn into an engineer and over think how I was going to install it, so I decided to take all the body pieces off so I could get to it

9's....LOL...don't you think it would be a good idea to see if you can run 10's first...:rll:.

9's....LOL...don't you think it would be a good idea to see if you can run 10's first...:rll:.
How about an 11 first, be very careful when busting on engineers

And very weak, had that HP on a stock motor for many years.:rll:

[03LightningRocks]

Fortunately, most folks know better than to bullsh!t me...so no, I don't have to use that bag very often. But it sure comes in handy for situations like this. Wouldn't you agree?

Oh snap!!!! I just saw Mark throw the flag :bs too.....:icon_mrgreen:.

Yes everything is being taken off to be painted, I got backed into in a parking lot, since its no longer a daily driver I decided to fix all the scratches, swirl marks, rock chips, etc that have been accumulated over the past 3 years. but while the doors, bed and etc pieces are off I will be doing some mods and cleaning/fixing a lot of things that have bugged me

It will be done by Clark Bros. and when I called they said to bring it in piece by piece so they could make sure there are zero runs or drips

I'm also having ALL of the exterior plastic pieces painted

Then I'm getting rid of the fuel tank and putting in a fuel cell and mounting it in the bed and finally installing the JDM big fuel kit with Aeromotive fuel rails and Ford GT fuel pumps, mounting a RUSLOW battery mount where the spare tire went and moving the battery there, and putting 2005 Bullit 20" wheels on

installing the corbreau (sp) racing seats and center console, as well as putting in new carpet and interior plastic pieces, want it to look as good as the day it was delivered to my house back in 2004

No 4-link has showed up yet, and I will be dealing with that this week :flaming:

Are you doing some kind of custom paint work? I have been wanting to do this for a couple years and just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I'm still up in the air, I really want ghost flames, you look directly at the fender there is nothing, but at an angle you can see it, I'm trying to rationalize getting it done with......... all the body pieces are off the truck, if I'm going to do it nows the time

Oh and once the wheels get here I'm going to take it as is to the track and see what times I can turn, with no front fenders, bumpers, doors, bed, seats, carpet I'm thinking I could get the 9sec pass, I'm guessing I shed 2,000 pounds off the truck :evil

I am wanting to do something wild, maybe a big picture of a chick spred eagle on my tonneau cover :evil. I have been looking at some of the vinyl graphics too. With the vinyl graphics, I can just peel it off if I get tired of looking at it. The vinyl doesn't look as sweet as a good paint job would(IMHO) but it is a little less expensive.

This is just my opinion, but you should get the front tilt hood like on the Vettes and put her on her knees, so when the hood is open it looks like shes giving head :tu:

[99WhiteBeast]

I like everything proposed so far except 20" wheels. That makes absolutely no sense to me if you are trying to shed pounds. If you're dead set on getting the 20's Casey's Boyd's would look pimp.

I'm not trying to shed pounds, just trying to get my truck looking brand new again

I'm not a fan of boyds, I did throw the idea of 20 or 22 inch HREs around

Hmmm now i need some brembos

[danielvalles1]

The flames on that lightning are prity cool:tu:

[mxracerzero]

20' HRE's and Brembos, sounds familiar. Just Like ME!

You gonna paint that thing? You will need another batt to power all those gauges :icon_mrgreen:

I was thinking...........Rice.:D

[bluesvt]

Are all those gauges necessary?

[99WhiteBeast]

damn you'll need a copilot just to help decipher all the data

[GoldLS1]

Hummmm... some of those gauges look familiar??!!

[danielvalles1]

I can be the copilot if you need one:icon_mrgreen:

[BC Lightning]

I will paint it once I receive it, haven't taken the body pieces or interior plastic pieces of the truck yet, cause I'm waiting on this dash pod to get here and take it all at once

I have my AEM wideband (single pillar pod), Water Temp, Boost, Fuel pressure (dash bubble pod), pyrometer and tranny temp (overhead console)

I really wanted to get rid of the stock sea foam green gauges and go with after market like in the pic below, but I remember Terry saying it all tangles together with the pats system, maybe if/when I buy another gen 2 and turn it into a race truck
