hot rod garage in the works. 38x56

That is a work of art, and the transmission must be one of those air shift models. In all seriousness what trans are you/is he planning to run? Looks to be an auto but no clue.

Looks like quite the TT power plant!! Should be a handful!

Nothing to crazy 5.3 and twin 62's somewhere around 750 wheel maxed out. Should make this truck get down and boogie through . Chassis coming up next is one of your favorites 61 Vette. Should be starting on that one soon!

These mock up jigs are awesome! 4L80E skeleton definitely makes it easier to do by myself for sure

Finishing up the 530hp LS3 for the Corvette and starting to design the front suspension for the new chassis and trying to get the chassis finished up on the truck as well!
Also finishing up the test run stand !
Never enough hrs in a day!

 

[E.rodz]

Chassis is back from Andrenalin customs getting powder coating done final assembly time going on in full affect!

 

[E.rodz]

getting there one bolt at a time!

[Old Man Roger]

Those tail pipe hangers look like they might need some beefing up, just sayin.

 

[Swanny1953]

That looks like it will be a handful!! Great looking build - keep the updates coming!

 

[PhantomEB]

Downright ****!

Got a deal on some dairy barn piping clamps and just made due with what I had. I will see if they hold up

New chassis for my friends 61 Vette coming up shortly

 

[E.rodz]

Downright ****!

Just sharing **** that a made up along the way

 

[E.rodz]

oh this will be a quick project to make a quick buck and move on! Or **** my sanity away and all my time as well!

 

[Old Man Roger]

quick project

K

 

[stinkity stoink]

That looks like a five year project for me.

He gets more work done in a week than 5 men, the problem is he never stops improving the project.lol

 

[PhantomEB]

His life is what mine would be if I won the lotto!

 

[E.rodz]

time to say goodbye to this one! This one has tested my patience no doubt!

 

[Old Man Roger]

His life is what mine would be if I won the lotto!

If I won the lotto I’d have him build me a dual turbo something.

Obviously I wouldn't rush it, you just set him loose and see what comes of it.lol

 

[E.rodz]

big old spider made himself a 36" web in the front of the shop ! Pretty impressive!

 

[Old Man Roger]

Shame you gotta burn that building down.

 

[E.rodz]

Shame you gotta burn that building down.

No we made friends and he is going to remove some of the bigger bugs from around here . I didn't want to argue with him!

 

[E.rodz]

oh this is the part I hate the most! Time consuming process of all the plumbing!
Both Turbos are liquid cooled and oil feed as well,wastegates, blow-off valves, transmission,fuel lines,rad hoses,heater hoses and A/c now how to make all that neat???

 

[Old Man Roger]

By the way, incase I do ever hit the lotto I want you to be ahead of the game. I’m thinkin mid engine all wheel drive, just figured I’d give a head start on planning the build.lol

Ok I will get started when I get some free time . Oh yeah I don't have any time to work on anything of my own now

If I hit big then you’ll be able to pay people to make what you want while you’re building my stuff.lol

I had a friend come over the other day and tell me that I have ADD. ! ??? I thought it was normal to be working on 20 projects at once! This one was sitting in my backyard for at least 10 years now on pallets with no chassis. A friend of mine said that he had a chassis that he wanted to get rid of so I got a little bit off track 🫣! Sold the motor and transmission now what is the plan for it you ask??
Well I haven't got a plan for it yet lol gotta go just saw a squirrel !

[E.rodz]

time to attempt to get this front clip match the patina on the rest of the truck!
Red Never goes with green unless you own a Christmas tree company!
Want to see how to make some faux patina ?? Making a new YouTube video on the process of doing it now

 

[stinkity stoink]

I’m in

 

[E.rodz]

next on to the hood that is a completely different green and drivers fender. Pretty happy of the match though! Looks way better than green and red, pink combo !.

 

[E.rodz]

pretty happy with the results. Looks much better than red/ pink and green!

 

[rattle_snake]

Is that an S-10 chassis?

 

[Old Man Roger]

Pretty impressive faux patina.

 

[E.rodz]

Is that an S-10 chassis?

Nope factory frame with a Camaro front clip. Has a s10 wheel on it though!
I went down that rabbit hole and couldn't figure out why it even got so popular!
Didn't make any sense to me. Once you source the chassis and cut all the brackets off then buy the conversion brackets and you still have a open diff with undesirable gears and drum brakes in the rear. Doesn't make sense to me!

 

[E.rodz]

Pretty impressive faux patina.

It looks and feels like the rest of the truck so I am happy with it. Making a YouTube video on the process now.

 

[strokinhorns]

I’m looking forward to your video….. I have some “patina” touch up to do.
