Not really sure - trying to get a brake sponsor on these. If not i may just sell the rear wilwood set up for $500.00

Re: Project 663 Begins

Re: Project 663 Begins

Lowering, bigger wheels, steering box, rear sway bar and the brace oh a higher price also

not to worry - it's going in the next project Typhoon. However i don't think it's going to be an LS1 - just a simple 1300hp tt 406 cu. in. small block.

Sure for $8500.00 you can have it as that is what i have into it so far

Re: Project 663 Begins

Quick Update.

Installed new suspension stops on the rear.

Had to make an opening for a wrench. When i remove the bed this winter i will cut the entire bracket off and relocate the stop to the frame itself

New Stop installed

more to come later - 2 1/2" Gibson Exhaust full Stainless

Re: Project 663 Begins

Finally made the time to install the new 2 1/2" Stainless Steel Exhaust on the truck.

Fit was very nice and welds are really nice also.

Old System vs. the New System

Muff Shot

Man i can't wait to install the new chassis to get rid of the rust

nothing wrong with another muff shot

The up and over

Yep that is close to the rubber - smells really good

okay this was a pain the ars to get centered.

Re: Project 663 Begins

Now the truck has the right stance. Looks good. I like the exhaust also, hows the sound??

Also why did you replace the front Hotchkis sway bar for the Bell tech one? Isnt the belltech smaller and heavier??

You should do the F-body LS1 rear disc conversion, and either the F-body LS1 front disc sap or the C5 swap, for a 12" rotor front and rear or a 12.8" front and 12" rear rotor. Fairly low buck and a bolt on.


BTW: Happy Birthday Marty.

Sounds really nice - not to loud - almost sounds just like my old syclone

Uhm i sold it to you before i bought this truck. I didn't want to ask for it back figured you would say no.

Oh, i thought i read when you first started on this truck you had put on a Hotchkis front bar, but i guess i read that wrong. The set i bought from you is still sitting in my garage, i never even opened the box just layed it across my GT's frame and its now acting as a shelf for my f-body LS1 brakes for the Ty.

Ive seen the SSBC kits, and i think for the money they cost they are not worth it. You can get a complete LS1 rear disc setup thats a direct bolt on for 200 or less on ebay, then get the bolt on ebrake cable kit from the GP here on the board and then you can get the front calipers and rotors for 150 or less on ebay and then get ahold of ebmiller88 on s-seriesforum.com as he sells the hubs and brackets needed for the 2wd trucks for around 250 or less i believe and your set, 12" front and rear rotors and plently of stopping power for the truck. Better and cheaper i think in the long run IMO.

Keep up the good work on it.
