i was liken the dual intake, not a fan of turbo, but still lookin good.

forgot the s because of fat fingers and i lean to one side as i type with one finger. and further i like super chargers and carburetors but not turbos. never liked the look of the extra plumbing. i know it works just doesn't do it for me.

That is a stock '88 Monte rad hose that goes up and over the AC compressor.  The thermostat housing on the Stealth ram is farther forward than the stock intake. The rad is leaning back a bit in that pic as the upper support is not on, so the hose looks goofy. This was the initial intall of this motor and it was not like that for long.

They are cheap ebay turbos (.63 compressors)

I paid next to nothing for the kit which includes (turbos, headers, intercooler, blow off valves, aluminum piping, oil feed and return lines, fittings, lines, fans, catch cans, turbo timer, remote lines, boost controller etc)

If the thing blows up I paid very little for all the piping and stuff and just replace the turbos with Turbosmart stuff or Garrett.

No one out there has tested these on SBC. The rice rocket guys all say they work well and work for the money.

 

Check out this video from a guy on youtube running ebay turbo's on his 67 Nova. Been running them for 3 years drag racing it without problems.

Been working on the front end. Hair pins, panhard and air bag arms installed. We are using cross link steering with tradituional linkage from stearing box.

Been working on the front air ride bags..,,,heres a mockup of one side so far

I got ''the so much to do blues" myself. My project is starting to drive me crazy.....

Anyways, even though you've got so much left, the parts that are done are looking great, so keep on fabbing and posting pics. Hopefully it'll help me get back into mine.

 Ya gotta love the help me with mine first line.........and you fell for it, huh?

Got our new project...Rat Rod Transport!!!  LOL

like the way you guys swiss cheesed the frame. that is a whole lot of welding. keep up the excellent work.

 

Sorry been busy with Christmas and parties.....

Here is the start of the dash.....

 

Been a while ...but back at it.

Decided to make an overhead counsel to match the dash. Andrew, a friend of ours ( from the Lead kings ) Helped out by making a steering arm from a connecting rod....Great job, looks and works great.

Also started on suicide doors.....

Didnt like the front window opening.....so cut it out and replaced last night

The corners were a little tricky ...reducing width and slightly curved....but it came out great.

Not worried about the 2 small body lines....covered by visor....

 

How do I get the pictures to be big when I post them?
They always load as attachments that you have to click on...

Well...... Got a little more work done.

Mounted the hinges and secured in the door frame the suicide hinge set up....Works really well. If your thinking about doing this modification....I only have three words of advise....measure, measure, measure.

Installed the bear claw door lock and door works well.

Spent some time flowing the dash ito the door panel....bit of a challenge as there were many curves...but with shrinker / stretcher and english wheel...I think its coming out ok.

Hopefully we will be working on the dash and gauges soon

Always love checking in on your build here. Things are really moving along. Looking forward to seeing it completed!

Nick,

With skill sets...... to see you checking in on me is an honor.

Im down in the Falls alot in the summer....I'll have to drop by some time, we'll trade stories and panel beating secrets lol

Thanks, I'll try it out in a few min

Great work guys, very interesting and impressive!

Working on the passenger door frame and suicide door.

Hard hat....Safety glasses.....safety vest......steel toe shoes.....gloves.....NOT!

as my old man used to say...."Do as I say....Not as I do"

You are correct...It is a 3m slimline respirtor....They come in a pack of 24....about $11.00

They come in a small pack that fits in your shirt pocket or able to roll up in your t shirt sleave.

They work well...but the sparks keep catching them on fire!..Gotta suck like heck to put it out!

They also work great for timing body filler, primer and paint....(very usefull)

It's not new....been using them for over 40 years (I used to sneak them from my father)

If they are good enough for "pops" there good enough for me.

But have they ever gone up in price....When i was a kid (8-9) my old man would send to the local

county gas station for a pack or 2....and by the way....pick up some 22 longs for the dam ground hogs.

Matches were free.......

But........ back to work.....If you have any other safety questions......Don't ask me!

Just finished the additon to old faithfull.....should be a handfull in the spring

If one is good....two is better

Busted...

Tremendous amount of thinking, planning and engineering, not to mention the fabricating skills involved to pull it off! We all know what happens when we have to change just one little thing because we forgot to leave room for whatever, fifteen other things get changed also! Keep up the good work!
