exesivefire Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Remade the v band clamp for the header, managed to get it a bit smaller. Also go the tip made from a piece of stainless tube.
wayne swayze Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 WOW!! Your build is amazing! The exhaust system is a work of art! Wasn't sure where this was going initially, but you're sure impressing me. Keep up the EXCELLENT work!
exesivefire Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Keep playing with the lathe, trying to push/teach myself as so go. I'm happy with these parts for today.
Revstew Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Wow you are really catching onto that lathe!!! Great work and detail!!! Do you have machining experience going into this??
exesivefire Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Wow you are really catching onto that lathe!!! Great work and detail!!! Do you have machining experience going into this?? Unless you count metal shop in jr high. No I'm just learning as I go. I did remake the overflow, the first one was a little small.
Revstew Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Wow very impressive. I will have to look into something like this sometime I think. Beautiful work and progress.
misterNNL Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Looking really stellar!The exhaust has a really smooth path.Takimg it through the frame cross member was absolutely the right thing to do.
exesivefire Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Tonight's progress.. Decided the first fuel cap I made wasn't going to cut it, have I mentioned I like this lathe thing?
exesivefire Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Also got the front coil overs made, really happy with how these turned out, now I can make the upper mount and a arms.
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Still watching with a big grin on my face. Great work on that Vortec 4200. I haven't seen anyone do one before. Beautiful work on the headers too.

mustang1989 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 What a project!!!! This sir is some mighty fine planning, engineering and execution!!!! I'm all over this one!
exesivefire Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks guys, decided I'm going a dry sump on this one, got the oil tank made up and mounted. I'm running out of space quick!
Altered Visions Customs Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 amazing work so far clean cuts on that late man
bpletcher55 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 you are doing some really sweet building ! this truck looks to be killer ,
exesivefire Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks guys, got some more stuff done, might not look like much but I'm teaching myself as I go here. Also apparently making everything takes forever.. Haha Got more of the upper shock mounts completed.
exesivefire Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Then I turned my focus to steering, started by making a form to make a D shaped hoop. Mated with the center of a parts box wheel Edited March 24, 2015 by exesivefire
