Ordered Pistons, rings, bearings and gaskets today. ................Edited for secret squirrel stuff........................................... Coated pistons as well.:rockwoot: The torque plate to hone it with is being finished today. The bad news is that there are no new 6.0 head castings available, and they are looking at 6 months to a year before any are available. Lets hope the ones I am getting from Richard have no cracks.:kick:

Damn Tim, you aint gotta tell them all the tricks LOL
 
How are you guys doing for gauges in the truck? I've only seen a boost gauge in this thread (and I just discovered this thread and the original project thread this weekend, otherwise I would've chimed in sooner). I might be able to swing a beta set of the new ISSPRO Performax gauge line (the new networked series of gauges).

BTW, are you guys thinking of getting this thing into the 9's? If so, don't forget that you'll need a driver with an NHRA Competition License. I just happen to have one ;)...

MIke, that would be awesome, we'll defintely be looking for some gauges. Let me know, and Thanks.
 
Got my Rear wheels today:

15 x 12, with a 5.5 back space.

When do you think you'll be far enough along to need your gauges? We're making some changes right now in response to Beta testing feedback, so I can get you better parts if you don't need them right away. What gauges do you think you'll want? I can guess an HPOP gauge will be one of them...

Thanks,
Michael Pliska

Thats actually the look we were going for. LOL The truck will be a little different when its all done than it is in those pics. Not sure on the color yet. Gonna think a while before I call Andy with the final.
 
Guys, I want to say thanks To Michael at Isspro for sponsoring a full set of gauges for "Deranged". That is awesome, and will make the interior look sweet.

Thanks again Mike.
