All Stainless tubing work,frame work,turbo kit, Fabricated & built by yours truely!!!

Goal: 1000hp+ full street trim drag/D.D. car w/ air conditioning.

ENJOY !!!

Cute red chain

Where you planning on routing the steering linkage?

Thx...it should be. I'm gonna have to keep extra pair of underwear for people who want a ride in it!!! lol
Rad support(s) already been removed,boxed, & and I built a Tubular front section to hold stand up radiator,condenser, & intercooler. When I feel like mounting all of them to post a complete pic I will.
Fans: (1) 14" puller & (2) 10" pushers
see pics

I still have to fabricate:
wastegate plumbing
intercooler plumbing
Downpipe to cutouts to full exhaust back

will update thread as time allows for me to get extra time in the shop.

chain is for lifting motor in & out fitment of pipes & modifications to frame,chassis etc... alot easier to tack parts together, pull motor, weldup and reinstall,

I was going to shift steering rack towards the driver side wheel 1" and just run a 1" longer tierod, but was worried about bumpsteer. but was able to cut steering shaft ujoint & and relocate closer to frame rail, the big bulky stock ujoint and attachment coupling was my issue.

Look below, You can see I have just enuff clearance between the stock tierod and frame, once relocate the linkage over, I'll have 3"8-1/2" clearance.

Curt, they are attachments that are locked on to individual posts. I do not know if there's a way to merge them all.

If you have time, here's a photobucket primer I wrote that will let you skip the attachment BS and post bigger pics:

how that looks nuts man !

Whats the plan for radiator/fans?

Basic how-to guide.

Wow

Nice work, but I'm just curious on why you fabbed headers over truck manifolds?

I dunno if you can even get maniflods to flow enough for 1000+ hp.

Truck manifolds can support higher than 1000+hp. Its been proven.
They will not allow me to keep my A/C in stock location, if at all. And with truck manifolds faced foward, drops the flange right on top of the compressor.

Plussss.... Nothing looks sweeter than a set of custom foward mount stainless headers!!! Until I wrap them...:banghead:

i hate when you have to ruing a nice turbo manifold with the wraping:cry:

Yeah...I'll probly run around with out it wrapped for awhile just cuz everyone will wanna see it.

theres no coating you can do to em ?

wrapping headers or dp's is a terrible idea. it can collect oil and caught fire and the wrap holds heat and can and will crack ss pipes. black jet hot is the only good way to keep heat out.

I disagree... will only collect oil if you have a oil leaking pos... and the wrap is made to hold heat.. thats the point!!! The more heat retention the higher the exhaust velocity which helps speed up the spooling of the turbos.
Aso for cracking issues, My stainless is .065 & thicker, so seriously doubt I will have any issues with that.
Most guys jet hot coat mild steel due to the fact that wrapping the pipes will promote moisture retention & rust pipes out. This is why Im building every part out of stainless.

What grade stainless are you using?

a mix of 321 & 409

That is some nice work. Cant wait to see the finished product.

:bertstare:

very awesome car curt. i always like seeing the progress on it when i stop by from time to time

It's seriously unbelievable. You have talent man. The car is going to be madness and I want a ride in it.

Thank you.....and fixed that for ya!!!
