Looks good, I think my next project is going to be a similar one with an older chevy pickup (advanced design). One question, is there any particular reason you aren't going to use the rear transmission style setup? Keep us up to speed with pictures!
Brianne just took these for you all. I wish she was here earlier to do the frame too, win some loose some, right now we're too tight on time to be picky, lol.
Wow, beautiful work, love the style of it. Very nice.

fuel system problem, wrong injectors and we're having to rebuild some of our wiring harness. Plan is to get a safe tune on monday so we can break in the transmission, differential, and turbos then tuesday spin it up and get the serious tune so we can get some track time in on Thursday before we leave.
hi u doing, the frames are looking good, can i get an upgrade on mind. it one of your frist #00 in that 39 ford with the ls1, i just posted here. it runs
I had the pleasure of seeing this at the SEMA show. Great truck and VERY interesting build.
Spent probably 20 minutes with Russell and Jim on an interesting discussion about the possibility of putting a C5 differential into my Mercedes 560SEC/LS6 using their adapter plate and design capabilities. Very nice guys!!

awsome truck i love it my favorite year and setup should be awsome...just one question why not just fron mounted turbos seam easier, second is the side pipes going to be operational?
truck kicks ass, fab work kicks ass, rear mount turbos suck ass. JMHO
Thanks but you would be surprised at how sweet they are. The Charge on the dyno was only 12 degrees hotter than ambient and the car was sitting still not even using all the the cooling it could have had. Kit was inexpensive and the tubing back up to the front is easier and cheaper to plumb since you can use wider radius tubing. Then you have to think about my weight split by keeping all that out back it keeps the car more balanced.

Front would have been harder because of all the weird custom tubing you would have needed to make the header for it. Back to the weight too. More on the front and it would have been up high moving the CG up even higher than it already is.
And the Side pipes are the waste gate dumps.

Nope, the models are straight from GM.
