Chassis

Hey Vin,
Awesome piece ....Lightningfest????

I appreciate the time and money that you have invested in this project....I know from personal experience the investment in $$$$$ and time to get it the way YOU want it. You have certainly gotten your share of razzing over this build.....
Anyways....good luck,,,,sofar looks like a piece of fine jewlery....ol Rolex Vinnie...lol
Seeya,
Ronnie

Thanks Ron..

Tunnel...Light...........

Do not know what races I will attend this year.. One day at a time.

But the goal is for "Pinks All Out" July 25-26 at E-town (Me and my Brother got in)

Anything after that is just gravy..

Thanks

Joey built the fuel cell. It looks more like a piece of art then a mechanical item.

Still using internal stock style fuel system with JDM billet hat holding three 255 pumps.

Thumbs up

Nice trailer queen you got there





But seriously....the chassis looks awesome

If you haven't already Vinnie check into Energy Suspension body mount bushings. It'll make the truck feel more solid but not harsh like with aluminum body mounts. A cheap upgrade at this stage.

Vinnie, My truck is dam near always fully detailed but that puts me to shame, I know I'm not the only one to have chassis envy, as always Vin you deserve it, I been around awhile and I can't name anyone who's been more patient, not even HD Bill worked so long to get his truck right. Keep the pics coming. Toddo

Cool

HI!... VINNIE : Have you figured out what your going to do to run the factory speedo, since the V.S.S gear was in the stock STERLING 9.75 rearend? Since your now running a Ford "9 INCH". Is there a provision on the 4R100 to run it off of the tranny?
