I never a huge fan of them but always thought it would be cool to build one, honestly if i had the money i would end up building every type of car/truck i could, some to sell, some to drive and enjoy, just becuase there is so many differnt styles, combinations, era's, i was the kid in school drawing cars making like 6 different pictures of teh same one with different styles, i would go so far as drawing out what seat,sterringwheels, grills, everything looked like instead of doing my schoolwork

i'll get some more pics tonght while i'm there, hoping to get the valves mounted wires ran into the cab and start plumbing(my job for the night) if that goes good maybe start wiring up the controler, and plan a intake, it's amazing how much time things take when you think it will be a quick process

 

Got the valves mounted, wireloomed and ran into the cab, bat cables ran, we got some line fitted,
Pumps are wired and operational, only 2 pics I got



Started it tonight first time in IDK how may months, shot a beer can out of the exhaust lol,

 

Bat mount and all wired up

 

Tuesday did a fair amoun of work, ran the wires for the vavles and what not under the carpet, started plumbing,

got 2 of the 5 guage line ran (tank guage and rear pass)
got the rear bags plumbed and the supply lines ran

fuzzy pic but it works


Mike put me incharge of the plumbing, wiring and anyting in the interior, i have to run 2 power wires and the wiring is done

he said he's full confident in my ability and how i want to run thing is how he would. even tho he said just do. it it's his truck so i am consulting him on anything that i want to make sure is done correctly or if i have a slighly different idea than what was first planned, it's comming along nicly imho, a few more weeks and i think it will be done,

 

switched power and valve control 100% wired up and opperational just needs a little cleaning up , got the new u joint in, driveshaft in, front bags plumbed, just needs alittle clean up and fitment finish, we just looped the guage ports so we could air it up and see it in action, we have to adjust the watts link aswell
Bags empty it sitting on it's own

Frame doesn't quiet lay out yet but we need to clearance more in the front, it is currantly sitting on the firewall,

Cool lookn for sure...

They kinda remind me of the "slot"cars i use to play with when I was a child. lol

 

Oh that's going to look sweet, especially on a regular cab.

 

Going to go work on it tonight, might have to spend a hour or so up at the parts store figuring out the soft line length so we have enough travel for when we travel the rearend, then get some fluid in the lines and bleed the crap out them, and add Trany fluid, and it's driviable, I'm hoping he has located the airlines and fittings for the gauges so we can get them hooked up, then gatta do clean up on wiring just zipties and loom and whatnot

 

Gauges all plumbed, wired ect, we deleted the scale, and started checking for leak... Got a lot to tighten, re teflon ect, didn't get a ton done tonight but it's progress!



Independent bag contol is complete



Leaks!



Evap GONE!

Gauges wire and plumbed!
