got the motor mounted. didn't get any pics in progress

 

thanks. i learned how to weld when i was 16, then started welding and fab on heavy equipment when i was 17. all self taught pretty much.

thanks!

 

meh... once again you should just scrap this bad boy my address is ****** i can dispose of it for ya

 

Gonna be a tight fit under the hood huh? Looks good as always man!

 

yeah, it's gunna require some kind of cowl hood. i might have cleared if sat the oil pan on the ground, but i prefer a little space (in case of rocks/debris).

i'm actually afraid to cut the hood to, cuz if i mess up i can't go and pick one up at the junkyard. these trucks are few and far between down here.

 

I'm sure you saw the hood seth did on the datsun, you could maybe do something like that.

 

awww was hoping you'd make it hella lower....

 

Who needs a hood with an engine like that??

Awesome work, one day I hope ill be able to pull stuff off like this, I plan on dong a single turbo 1uz in my 85 300zx for driftTaring when I get out of my tech school for machining., but I dont think thats anything compared to building a frame and it actually working right

Did you build the frame around using the stock suspension? Or some stock yota truck suspension. like mounting points and all that jazzZ

 

Psh, clear custom polycarbonate vented hood yo, you gotta see that 1UZ

single Turbo UZ's sound great

 

the suspension is based off of the 84-95 trucks.

 

i've seen a cowl scoop on this hood and it looks sick. if you can, try to just use the lines. or, make a fiberglass one

 

lol bernie can make one outta metal

 

bernie!! send me the hood!! ill do some metal magic to it! We will graft a 54 nash scoop to it

 

That sounds like a plan right there!

 

i picked up my supra spindles, rotors, and calipers today! i also grabbed a nice ass tailgate, but i'll probably sell it so i can do the caddy rear end

 

i also started on the rear suspension. gotta buy a 5" narrowed pinto rack and pinion for the front.

 

As always, i'm getting more excited lol

 

u seem like ur busy man with all these projects. ur work looks good. do u do side jobs for this stuff?

 

thanks!

i wish i could say yes, but with my wife's crazy work schedule i really don't have time.

 

its all good dogg. keep up the good work
