Incredible dude.  The body panels are the only thing left that look factory.  You have literally rebuilt the entire thing from the ground up.  I don't have that kind of patience.  Great job!

Just read the whole build and....................IM SPEACHLESS!! Your truck is BAD! I showed my 7yr old and he just about said the same exact thing. Im getting ready to make a purchase on one and I hope I can build it to the 1/10 of yours and I would be ecstatic. Keep up the amazing work man, you are awesome! Will definitely be lookin at this build while im building mine.

Lookin good! Where did you say u were again in CT?

middletown, about 15 minutes south of hartford

yeah its coming together very clean,
although i had a fever last night and had a nightmere that someone uncovered it and was anglegrinding a rusty piece of steel next to it, then decided to turn it over, and it messed the bore up ??? :-X so that wasnt great haha
I hate it when that happens, lol. I use to have nightmares about my brother going out and deciding to take my truck for a test run while I still had major tune ups to do still and blow up my engine. So I ended up taking the keys out of it and storing them.

But if he really do that I'd have to break his legs.  ;)



Cool deal...I used to live in Woodbury years ago.

\

got my wilwood brake kit in for the z06 rotors, and a howe radiator with a flexalite black magic fan. saved my radator support and only have a little bit more work to do on it









i splurged
t56 magnum close ratio and quicktime bell housing, as well as spec stage 3 clutch.  finished the radiator support, not to finish the upper rad mounts.

Those are some monster calipers....Are you putting the same ones on the rear? At least you know stopping won't be a problem
