jaxxon Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Im sure it'll be a crazy ride. I love to wrench though and thats half the excitement. id rather have a vehicle that ive put a lot of work into myself rather than buy one that already has everything done. It becomes more personal and you really connect with your truck during the build. Its hard to see myself ever selling my truck. I know every nut and bolt on that thing, and have A LOT of blood and sweat into it, as a lot of others on this site have into theirs. Mid12 What hood is that? Anyone know of a roll pan that works with with an SS? Did a search here and it seems the company no longer makes one? I'm looking at $1500.00 to custom fab one and this build is already out of hand.

jaxxon Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Here's a few lousy quality pics of the build so far... Motor wrapped in plastic (in truck) so I'll post pics of that beast soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxxon Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 So my exhaust thru the fenders was done incorrectly by my body & paint guy. (It's cut-thru up too high, and rectangle/lame looking) It was supposed to be like the FastLane SSS. (cut thru down low in the fender) I even sent him pics! ....So now I'm stuck with the location of the cut-thru but we can remove the aluminum surround and re-do iit more GT2 like... I was thinking like this? (drawing) OR Anyone have a better idea? I'm thinking since it's cut through the SS body "flares" we could maybe CNC something out of billet and have the surrround go inside part way... LIke this one (attached photo) I'm up for anyone's ideas... Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldofashow Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 The left is not hip to be square round exhaust if anything why not run pro dump setup under the truck that can't be seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxxon Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) The left is not hip to be square round exhaust if anything why not run pro dump setup under the truck that can't be seen It's already cut-thru and truck is painted - exhaust built. Mine is the black pic... wanna re-do the surround. Edited May 12, 2013 by jaxxon (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxxon Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) This is the pic I sent our paint guy (We thought also a custom fab guy as required) He either didn't see the pic or just did it how he wanted to do it. The truck is being built at WBD and this guy just did the paint. I really should have had WDB fab the exhaust cut-thru. Now you guys can see my dilemma... It's not so bad re-fabing a surround to something more trick than a plain rectangle, it's that he cut the exhaust pass-thru WAY too high and the truck is painted (The paint is insanely perfect by the way - he is super talened in that dept. ) It's a much deeper, blacker paint than OEM black SSS paint. We need to design a surround that will make it look trick despite it being cut-thru so high. Any ideas out there from fresh outlook designer mind??? Thanks in advance.
