I will be posting pictures here of the
progress that I am making on the truck. The picture that I have here is
the truck sitting in the barn. The hood and front fenders are at the
body shop getting straightened and primed. Now that the weather has
started to get a little warmer up here in New H ampshire, I
will start
to tear down the rest of the truck.
The rest
of the front end will be going to the body shop this month. I will pull
the engine and crate it for the trip back to Denver so DC Racing
Engines can rebuild it to handle the turbos. Then the doors will get
pulled so I can get them to the body shop and get the door handles
shaved and the door poppers installed. I will add more pictures as the
work progresses.
Here is a list of what is going into the truck:
A 9" Ford rear end will replace the stock rear
end of the
truck, two turbos will be mounted in the rear quarter panels of the
truck, rear facing cameras will be mounted to replace the mirrors with
the video monitor mounted in the glovebox, door handles will be shaved
and door poppers installed, the engine will be rebuilt by DC Racing
Engines in Denver to handle the turbos, two dump cans like Nascar uses
will be mounted horizontal in the rear of the truck for the fuel and a
new fuel system will be installed to feed the engine. the wood floor of
the truck will be redone, a new overhead electrical console will be
built to handle the extra switches required for the turbos, new air
compressor and tank will be installed to feed the air horns, the body
of the truck will be straightened and painted black with copper flake,
a vinyl wrap will cover the truck with pictures honoring our heroes,
and new front seats will be installed.
