The latest message/conversation is

I've got Line X
I've got High Temp (coating)
I've got Precision Turbo(the turbo's already have more miles on them, than the truck will probably ever have put on it)

Rumor has it, I have some super secert spy shots in my email, they may get posted later on.

Good Morning All,

Last week Kenny took the bed over the Line-X Dealer.

The underside and topside have been sprayed for protection from road debris.

I was asked earlier what the little notches were for on the front of the bed.
These were put in to clear the hardware that attaches the rollbar legs to the cab.

Should have more pictures later in the week

Good Morning All,

The Turbos are done and look really nice.
Both Guy and Precision Turbo really took care of me.

Guy & I started talking and we realized these Turbos have been shipped via UPS so many time it's just not right.
So here is a really long story -- see if you make it to the end.


So way back on June 25, 2004 I purchased custom Turbos from Precision Turbo.
www.precisionturbo.net www.rockfordracecraft.com

Precision Turbo shipped them to Rockford Racecraft. - 140miles

After Rockford Racecraft looked them over, he drove them to Competition Fabrication - 51 miles
www.compfab.com

When the truck was completed at Comp Fab they headed to my Shop - 54 miles

About 4 months later I loaded truck w/Turbos and headed to Recovery Room Interiors to meet Kenny - 601 miles
www.recoveryroomrodinteriors.com

Kenny Hauls truck, motor & those Turbos back to his Shop in Arkansas - 413 miles
www.kdhotrods.com

A short while later Kenny Ships Turbos back to my shop - 592 Miles
www.sportmachines.com

Then I ship Turbos to Rockford Racecraft so they could Polished and Hi-Temp all the surfaces of the Turbos. - 93 miles

Now here's were it gets fun ( if you've read this far )

In order to Hi Temp Coat the center section of the Turbo's you have to send the center section to Precision Turbo so they can take it apart - 144 miles

Precision Turbo - disassembles Center Section and Ships it back to Rockford Racecraft - 144 miles

Rockford Racecraft High temp coats the center section and then ships it back to Precision Turbo - 144 miles

Precision Turbo Reassembles the Center Section and ships them Back to Rockford Racecraft - 144 miles

Rockford Racecraft puts everything back together and then ships them to Kenny Davis - 617 miles
( really I hope this is there last Journey )

Now that's a lot of miles -- how many not sure it's late.

Okay so here are the Turbo's and yep there in the new bed on the new line-x liner.
Note the center section is officially Hi-Temp Coated Black

The imperfections in the housing were tig welded prior to polishing.

Exhaust Housing were done in a silver finish.

yep - there they are sitting on that new line-x bed liner

I think what's really going to piss him off, is when I drive down and put my hands on it and it's still a couple weeks before he can make it down.

Yep that's right Marty, there is a certian painter I really want to meet!!! I may even have to hump the bed a little.
