Lots of machinists out there that could handle that kind of job. Check out Mike Curtis of Curtis Speed, Jason Britz on Instagram @jason62702, Rad Machining on Instagram @radmachining, or EVOD Industries

Picked up a Flex-A-Lite Extruded Tube Core Radiator and Dual Fan Combo to hide under the SelfMade radiator cover ... the product reviews seem good, also came with their multi-speed fan controller built in...

Average Joe · 12-12-2019, 10:30 PM

Nice work! ^^^^^^^^

Burb · 02-04-2020, 05:23 PM

Have some cleaner shots of the engine bay

Burb · 02-04-2020, 05:26 PM

And solved that transmission / tight body mod ... made the frame and body real tight but when we lowered the body the 700R4 got crowded so I thought maybe high hump for clearance just need to remember to change the carpet selection

FLYNAVY30 · 02-05-2020, 08:03 PM

Love your build....hoping to one day go the same direction with mine, but with a 4 wheel drive set up.

Burb · 02-24-2020, 01:32 PM

Rocky working on the fire wall

Burb · 12-11-2020, 04:11 PM

Hood is complete

Burb · 12-11-2020, 04:14 PM

project is home for Covid but must endure ...

**kev2809** · 12-13-2020, 08:07 PM

build is coming along nice man love that underhood work!

Burb · 12-17-2020, 05:49 PM

Ya gotta a lot of work to do ... waiting on the holidays to be over so I can try and get a lift in at the house, so I can pull the body back off.

Burb · 12-17-2020, 05:51 PM

Still need to raise the floor in the back and will probably do a mini tub at the same time

Burb · 12-22-2020, 12:26 PM

Needed to make some changes on the front to get the height I was hoping for

Burb · 12-22-2020, 12:30 PM

I think this is pretty close ... now I need to put the inner fenders back on and work on tire and wheel numbers

Burb · 12-22-2020, 12:36 PM

Fun space

**kev2809** · 12-22-2020, 07:21 PM

what bags did u have.. and swap to?

Burb · 01-07-2021, 06:11 PM

Well, first set were SS6 Slam bags but I wanted more height and switch to D2600 Dominators got me closer to ride height now I need to channel the rear a little more and raise the inner fender wells

**kev2809** · 01-07-2021, 08:40 PM

i have the dominator 2500s up front because my cupped arms are 8 1/4" pipe. i had 2600s up front but it seems super close to touching when aired out. im tearing everything apart to paint the front clip and im thinking of trying to put some 2600s back in there after grinding the cup edge down (something i should of done the first time).

was hoping those you pulled out were ss7's, those seem to be nice bags and dont balloon out.

Burb · 01-20-2021, 11:09 AM

Ya, I need to get a lift on order so I can pull the body back off and do a little work on the rear of the chassis for a more level aired out, probably cut on the frame a bit

LT7A · 05-24-2021, 07:04 AM

Wow, this is a high intensity build. I'm sorry to see that covid got in the way of your plans. Have you been able to move any of it forward since your last post?

Burb · 05-27-2021, 12:11 PM

Some ... tore a wall out in the garage for little more room.

Burb · 05-27-2021, 12:15 PM

And then I went ahead and pulled the motor and transmission

Burb · 05-27-2021, 12:20 PM

cleaned up the dog house a little ... want to do some more work on the new steering column setting for the rack, changing the firewall mount

**kev2809** · 06-05-2021, 08:30 AM

good progress!

boy do I miss working in my garage......

**kev2809** · 11-21-2021, 01:08 PM
