Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

It would be cool to go with a custom bench seat. Low ryder style. But that will not keep you in place when your flying down the dragstrip.

Morning All,

Sorry, I'm a little late on the update this week I am in Florida with the Family.

Kenny has been busy working on the frame.

The before

The After.

Our goal is to have the frame look smooth when you look into the engine bay.

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

when you smoothed the frame...did you add pieces of metal to raise the lower sections to the same height as the higher sections and then weld them on? Or did you just grind it down flat and fill in with weld?

Truckless. For now.
Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

Nuts! That's a lot of work for something going under the truck. :lol:

Sweet as always Marty!

Good Morning All,

I've spent a lot of time trying to design the right sound System in the Cab of Syborg
and the good news is the Guy's at Kicker have stepped up and helped design a very simple yet effective system.

Dan over in Kicker R & D selected all of the Compinents for the truck and I can't thank him enough.
I've learned that more isn't always better.


This amp that was choosen is the ZX550.3
It is a 3-Channel Amplifier with Class D 3rd Channel for Subwoofer(s)
w/Remote Bass Control (controls subwoofer channel only)

The Speaker are simple and should keep the Interior very Clean.
6-1/2" RS Series 2-Way Component System
1" Teteron elliptical dome tweeter with neodymium magnet

Of Course you need to have a little bass and Kicker has the perfect subwoofer for the small cab.
10" Shallow-Mount Subwoofer

2008_07_06_kicker_005.jpg


Mounting Depth is only 4-3/16"
Yep, that's shallow - perfect for such a small cab.

Also Included was a Complete Wiring kit which i really need to take a picture of.
 
Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

10 inch kicker comps work great in these trucks. I had an S10 with those subs behind the seat. It allowed me some leg room. Im 6'4" and I need all the leg room I can get.

Good Evening All,

Okay were back from Columbus Good Guy's show, It was a blast.

2008 Good Guys Columbus Pics

So this is why the Monday Update is actually happening on Wednesday this week.

The Engine and Tranny have been painted.
I know the pictures stink - Travis took them with his cell phone.

Close up of the Bowler Tranny Painted
Yep, I Think Travis went to the Kenny Davis Photography School.

Rear Differential is painted and ready to go back in the Chassis.
However we need to order all of the chassis hardware from Totally Stainless.

Okay, It is very hard to tell the color from the above pictures.
But not to worry Kenny took the below Picture.

So you still can't figure out what color it is.

Mind blowingly beautiful details Marty. Just stellar works ! :tup:

For some reason.....I'm also diggin on the VIP style wheels on the silver Camaro in the background pix. ;)

BTW....did your painter use a 'self etch' primer on the block and trans before color ? I just wondered what steps he trusted ?
Cheers,Vinny
