Now you've got it Eric.... It is all about the spectacle, not the result LOL Perhaps you should put some coffee cans in the bed with lead shot in them loaded into a paint shaker that cranks up as the truck is slowing down..... The noise alone would have folks talking for months on end LOL

He doesn't want it to sound like a Cummins. wned:*bdh*

Its just a show truck, dont plan on putting a motor in it, well, maybe something to hook to the sled, big fat injectors and a small turbo...something that will blow the smoke reallllllllyyyy high in the air and kick the water on early, make it look like it blew up or other problems then tow it off the track with some fancy decked out golf cart.....


Ya just gotta get them talkin:rockwoot:[/QUOTE]

[carfichris]

Man would you look at Blake go.......

 

[dmaxalliTech]

some body work

gotta make the whole truck pretty, no body see's the frame

 

[duramaximizer]

What's the thickness of the material your using to box the frame?

 

[dmaxalliTech]

'bout this much ( holding thumb and forefinger together with a small gap between them )

 

[dmaxalliTech]

10 gauge I think is what it is.

If I had the equipment to do so, we would have cut some 3" holes in it and used a die forming rig to put a flare in, save a bit of weight and make it stronger

Not sure if stiffer is better in this situation, but before the frame was boxed, I could pick up the back corner of the frame about 3" before the front would lift off the stand, now when I pickup back corner, the whole side lifts right up.

We still have lots of structure to weld in once the drivetrain is in place, but if stiff is good, we are on the right track
