Trunk Redo Part 3 Worked on getting the filler panel cut out, shaped and fitted.I am really liking how this is looking. Still need to clean up all the seam sealer. Here is the logo we are going to bead roll into the center of the panel. I think it will look killer! Stay tuned.......... more to come. |

So I'm looking at the pic of the new large center opening and it brings to mind a couple of things...
Center outlet exhaust would be a natural And an old Smoky Yunick nascar trick from 50 years ago... Create a venturi shape for airflow under the truck floor pan with some vertical walls. Place the exhaust tip exits at the lowest pressure point in this venturi. Get free boost of 1 to 2 psi as the low pressure sucks out the exhaust. Just random thoughts here. In no way is this a suggestion to give you any ideas. HA-HA !!!

Jim he concentrates better when he bites his lip, LOL
Trunk Redo 4 The work continues on the trunk. I did some hammer/dollying and shrinking of the channel were the battery cable ran, creating a flange so that we can rivet the filler panel and make it look more finished. Started by heating the metal than gradually working it and finally cooling to shrink it. This work had a very therapeutic effect! Sorry forgot to take pictures of the finished product but came out really nice. This on the other hand was very monotonous!!! And not sure how much time I have spent doing this stuff but I am done Looks ten times better. Justin worked on making the rear bumper. It's coming along nicely. LC, no need to ask, pic will be coming, LOL Tomorrow, same bat channel. Last edited by Moreno1; 05-18-2013 at 11:20 PM. |

OK guys, we have a question for you all. We are currently in the planning phase for installing a 6 pt roll cage. Now with racing seats, a 5 pt harness, and a roll cage, I think most of us will agree that airbags are no longer needed. Does anyone know if there is a way to set a relay or something so that we don't get the airbag light popping on? Also, does anyone know if removing the seat belts will throw a light? |
