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

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

The After.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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

[jerome]

what is the filler metal?

[1981gMachine]

what is the filler metal?

My guess is silicon bronze

[jackfrost]

My guess is silicon bronze

how is that done?

[syborg tt]

filler plate and a tig welder

[SaturnVUEguy]

Marty, I thought you had all the frame done already. Post some "after" pics!

[syborg tt]

Good Morning All,

Quick Update - The frame is back from the Powder Coater
So I thought I would share the one and only picture Kenny sent me.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif


www.kicker.com

[HILROD]

Looking great! I can't wait to see this thing done!

[SaturnVUEguy]

Sharp looking frame. Look forward to seeing some parts installed on it

[jackfrost]

only a couple days left.... ;)

[syborg tt]

only a couple days left.... ;)

:rotfl: Not to worry Sema is pletny of day's away

[syborg tt]

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.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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)

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Also Included was a Complete Wiring kit which i really need to take a picture of.

[vossperformance]

Very Nice Build!

[syborg tt]

Very Nice Build!

Thank you

[scogin918]

People would be surprised how well a simple system like that sounds. That's the same arrangement I had in my previous truck and it was just right. Good choice.

[syborg tt]

Good Evening All,

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

2008 Good Guys Columbus Pics (http://garagescene.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=45)

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.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

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

[syborg tt]

Good Afternoon All,

Kenny Has been cranking on the truck.
In order to put the chassis together he needed to get a list of Hardware together.

Once it was together we put an order in with Totally Stainless.
Lets just say "Doc" is awesome to work with.
He took my list and pulled it all together in one day.

You say no big Deal - well check out the list at the bottom of this post.
It's 963pcs total and there are still plenty more to order.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

This is just the hardware for the chassis.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

All of the hardware come bagged & tagged.
All Kenny has to do is look for the bag that states the area he's working
and he's off to the races.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Just another close up of the parts.

Congrats on the mag! I See those are older pictures, any recent pictures to update the build?

This build ceases to amaze me! Gotta give it to those Arkansas boys. They may not be able to pick out cool shoes but they sure can build a nice truck! LOL!

send it my way, I have plenty of idea's for a full size

how much money ya got ?

Unfortunatly:nopity: I am about as broke as they come right now.......

Other wise I would be going crazy:hammer: on all of my projects (4)! But I have the most love for the 454ss so I would spare no expense on it and have something like what you have done, done to it!

[syborg tt]

Ya know the best thing i ever did was sell all of my projects (3) and work on just this one. There is no decision on which one I will spend the money on.

Trust me it's something you should consider.

I've considered it many times. I'm honestly affraid that the one car I do have ready to go wouldn't bring the money yet:wedgie: ... Its just not old enough and not many know what it is.

The good news is is that I am young enough that I can still get them done! :woot:

[syborg tt]

Good Morning All,

Just a quick little update.

This post is a little out of order -- sorry about that.

Prior to putting the chassis together it was important that we get the right parts for the chassis.

Quick call to Art Morrison and we ordered up some 5/8” x ¾” Stainless Poly Rod End.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Okay getting ready to put the motor in the chassis.
However Kenny had a few complaints.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Seems the Red Poly Motor Mounts were unacceptable and a Quick call to Summit Racing solved that problem.

Time to order new Black Poly Motor Mounts

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Let's not forget the Tranny Mount.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif


What the heck lets order some more ARP Stainless Steel Bolts
from Totally Stainless.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif


Finally the motor is in the chassis

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

[Young Gun]

Marty I can't wait to see this done, it is going to be too nice...I also cant wait for you to start on the second gen, that is gonna be sick as well!

[syborg tt]

hey man i'm totally diggin the inner fenders on the bed, but one question since your having the sheet metal fit super tight with the round tubing on the chassis, how are you going to remove the bed? Maybe i'm missing something

[syborg tt]

hey man i'm totally diggin the inner fenders on the bed, but one question since your having the sheet metal fit super tight with the round tubing on the chassis, how are you going to remove the bed? Maybe i'm missing something

all the inner sheetmetal in the wheelwell & under the back of the bed would have to be removed in order to take the bed off.

Which i hope to never have to do

[Idragmazda]

Oh so I take it these are going to be held in place with fasteners and not welded ?

[syborg tt]

Oh so I take it these are going to be held in place with fasteners and not welded ?

Good Morning All,

The Guys are busy working on the truck
They brushed all of the stainless steel exhaust tubing we got from
the Rod Builder Kit from "Stainless Works".

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

One of my new Favorite Pictures

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

That really nice Polished Billet Specialties Steering Column has now been painted black.
You can also see that the pedals are hung as well as the Vintage Air, MSD & Big Stuff 3

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif


Hard to tell from the Picture but the shifter is in with the new Shifter Cable from
George Blake @ Prime Gears

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Plenty more to come in the next couple weeks with Sema getting closer.

[orbit]

ANy idea what the power prediction is going to be?

[SaturnVUEguy]

Good to see it starting to come together!

[syborg tt]

ANy idea what the power prediction is going to be?

Were going to keep the boost low intially to keep the motor around 650hp to work all of the bugs out of the truck.

After that we may push it up to 800hp on e85

[SaturnVUEguy]

[syborg tt]

Good Afternoon All,

I figured I would share some pictures of the truck.
It's almost starting to look like a truck again.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

I can't tell you how excited I am with the progress of the truck.
It's really beating my expectations.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

In case you didn't notice the pictures are really good.
I want to thank Josh taking these incredible pictures.

I may have missed this in some of the previous thousands of photos, but is the roll cage inside the cab connected anywhere else outside the cab besides the bars at the back of the cab? It's looking awesome by the way.

The cage is welded to the floor of the cab and there is a mounting location in the back that ties it to the chassis. The front down bars are also resting on the re-enforced floor which is over the front cab mounts.

Jeebus Marty, It only took God 7 days to create the Earth!! Are you sure it'll be done for SEMA?

I too, saw the pic in HotRod, congrats again. Where in Il. are you again? I'd like to see the truck if you were close enough to McHenry. After working for Schwartz for a while, I can't get enough of the high end build stuff now.

You'll be able to see it at the World of Wheel on Jan 23 - 25 in Chicago. So you would get a nice close up view of the truck.

[frankenstang]

If you have any connections for the show, let me know. They denied me the last 2 yrs. I didn't enter early enough one year (3 mths b4 the show?) and I forgot why the other time. Probably cause my car wasn't a lowrider or sponsored by someone. I was looking forward to that show for a long time while building and it's left a bad taste in my mouth ever since.

I am looking forward to seeing yours and hopefully you can give me a 'behind the ropes' tour.

Tragically, the WOW show has gone downhill in my eyes for a while now and most of the Chi-town area feels the same way.

Good luck in getting the truck done.

The best picture of the day.
Now your going to have to look closely as the picture was taken by Kenny.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Yep, that's a golf cart in Kenny's office.
Actually it's a golf cart that Kenny drove through his office wall.
Seems his foot got stuck on the gas pedal.

[killer69]

Nice work KENNY:lol: :lmao: :drive1:

you trying to be like PAul SR

Cant wait to see you on (oh wait Off ) the auto cross course!!

Marty, install a battery cut-off on the cart!! :hah:

[Chevrolaine]

ROFLMAO!:lmao: :drive1: That's gonna leave a mark!

Marty, those brakes are something else man! How much did those cost you alone?

As for the cart through the wall...:6gears: :drive2: :doh: :banghead:

[syborg tt]

Marty, those brakes are something else man! How much did those cost you alone?

Good Afternoon All,
Kenny started plumbing all of the brake lines.
The ideal way to get the lines from the inside of the frame to the outside of the frame.

The guys didn't stop on the details.
Seems they felt it was necessary to paint the fuel cell even though you'll never see it.
https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

So what color is it ?
The same color as the engine compartment of course.

[syborg tt]

Good Morning All,
It was a busy day at Kenny's Shop.

Big Al flew in from Florida to Wire the Big Stuff 3 & MSD Ignition.
He was did an awesome job and we couldn't be happier.

Big getting ready to cleaning up the Injector Harness.
All the wires had to be trimmed to equal Length so the harness would look clean.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Now this is how it should look.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Working on the inside of the truck.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

All of the necessary wires coming out of the tranny tunnel.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

All of the wires neatly run under the manifold.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

All that is left is to shrink wrap the all of the fitting to keep the colors dark.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Once again I owe Big Al big for helping us out.

[syborg tt]

Plumbing the AC Lines is complete.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

The lines will be clamped together with a couple Billet Specialties Line Clamps
and then anchored to the inner fender.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Kenny had to do a little trimming on the Billet Specialties lower bracket to install the crank trigger.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Sorry Mike - this is the best picture I have of the Crank trigger installed.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

where do you get that black woven material that is covering some of the wiring?

Good Afternoon,

Fuel Line plumbing has begun.
Out of the tank and into the Aeromotive Fuel Filter & A1000 Pump.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Out of the Pump and into the Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator and 10 Micron Filter

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

From the Filter to the Y-Block under the cab.
Why the Y-Block just in case we go old school on the Fuel Line plumbing.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Up to the fuel rail

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Across & Under to the other rail.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

And it ends on the other side.
Yep - no return line.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Top View - just to show you the engine bay.

Love the 6 cylinder - it just looks cool to have all the normal parts but shorter more compact package.

I gave up on trying to make all my stuff look show ready, but things like this bothered me when I was trying - the red anodization of your fuel pump and regulator don't match the gray/black/satin/polished finish on all the rest of your equipment ! If you're headed to SEMA you need to take care of that :)

Also - I know you are working with top flight people who know more than I do about what works, but running a rear mounted regulator with a turbo engine seems very dangerous to me. How confident are you that that is an acceptable configuration ? I'm okay with that on an n/a engine. I don't see a vacuum line connected to it yet - maybe you are not increasing fuel pressure with boost and depending on the injectors/computer to compensate ? In which case it wouldn't bother me. I'd be interested in your thoughts on this.

[syborg tt]

There are plenty of fittings that need to get swapped out to black or silver depending on there location.

We also have a bunch of underhood painting that still needs to be done. I heading out to see Bob Thrash tonight as he has the valve covers and Intake tube that he is doing graphics on.

Sema is a no go - were holding off till January

Fuel System - I will try to find you the thread that Jody put together. It explains it much better then I could.

ps - there is still alot more plumbing to go.

[preston]

No need to waste your time looking for the thread I do remember reading it. What I remember about it was that Charlie was absolutely convinced it was the way to go, but hadn't actually run the car under boost in a serious way at the time. The other people who had setup their regulators that way were big n/a motors.

And for highway roll ons I think it would be okay, but in a road racing throttle on/off wildly varying manifold/fuel pressure situation I would be concerned. I mean there must be a reason all of the serious vette guys convert their returnless fuel systems and every single high power turbo combo I have ever seen does not run this setup.

I like it -nice and clean, and definitely keeps the fuel cooler, I'm just throwing out a warning - your call, I have no direct experience with running this setup, not willint to take the risk.

That's cool if your're changing out fittins, I was under the impression that this was truly final assembly.

[Chevrolaine]

Man this is coming along great! That truck is amazing!

[MarcelloRupelli]

Let's just see if it's gets similar gas mileage

Mine got 17mpg, I wouldn't be surprised if this can beat that. At least highway milage, without the drag of AWD. You'll have to let us know, I'm curious now.

Regardless, this is a fantastic build. Top-notch all the way.

[syborg tt]

Good Afternoon All,

To say I'm happy with the work that Kenny is doing on the truck would be an understatement.
The guys at Kenny Davis Hot Rods have really exceeded my expectation on this truck.

Our goal was to make the pedal arm look similar to the Lokar Gas Pedal
and yes we will be using Shannons Gas Pedal

First Ron created the pedal pad and made it look similar to Shannon's Pedal.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Then Ron made the modifications to the Pedal Arm.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

So now we have Brake Arm that matches the Lokar Gas Pedal
and a Brake Pad that will match Shannon's Brake Pad.

Marty, it might be because most picturehosting websites are blocked here and I'm missing a pic that would make it all clear, but why reverse engineer and duplicate the Modo brake pedal pad instead of just using the Modo brake pedal pad?

[lh_kustoms]

Marty looks awesome its over the top cant wait to see it completed and in person

Marty, it might be because most picturehosting websites are blocked here and I'm missing a pic that would make it all clear, but why reverse engineer and duplicate the Modo brake pedal pad instead of just using the Modo brake pedal pad?

Marty needed a modified brake arm and the pedal had to be moved (offset) to work in the location he needed. So we used Rodgers really kool design and tweaked it a bit to look similar to the Lokar gas pedal. There wasn't a standard brake pedal to attach the Modo to so rather than make a pedal and add the modo we made a pedal that looked similar to the Modo pedal. Marty is using the Modo gas pedal.

Marty,

Ironworks would have modified the design to match your brand-L gas pedal..... or they would have designed a SPECIAL (complete) set for your ride.

Yep, I agree but it was to late to start over. Plus I think Kenny would have KILLED me if we mad another change on the truck.

[watahyahknow]

just finished reading this projecttread from start to finish ......AWESOME :worship:

i'm having porterbuild and deeds working on sumtin simulair for me based on a 1973 chevrolet C10 longbed pickup and a 522 V8 (wish i lived in the states so i would a little more controll on things and do some of it myself but i don't )

my build is still in the first stages and i'm still trying to find all the ad on parts for the build at reasonable prices , the links to all the manufacturers you put in the tread realy helped a lot , a couple of them i knew but most of them wheren't known to me , the one link with the wheeloffsetmeasurementdevice (for lack of a better word .... wonder how mush points that would give at scrabble ) realy going to get the project underway sooner as i dont have to buy wheels now but later on in the build and saves me a lot of time getting the right wheels for the truck .
never knew wheel manufacturers would go through the trouble of delivering wheels unwelded so you could check the offset and definetely will look into that option by the time i'm getting the wheels myself

i like the idea with the airfilters , i had planned something based on those but youre idea should work a lot better and uses space i haven't thought of before
the innerfenders and the flat firewall look great too , i was looking into placing the motor back a little bit on the frame to make more room for the turbo's and radiators in the front , as for the indent in the middle i was going to use the steel bed of a wheelbarrow wish has nice compound curves and can be cut several way's to fit .
the innerfenders you've made actually look like the side of a wheelbarrow too (no pun intended) , i might base mine of those too but will add room behind the wheels for the cooland tank and pump for the liquid to airsetup and a remote oilfilter and oilpressureaccumulator for the turbo's

its funny how simulair the build is going in terms of starting out with sumtin that you want to make look stock and changing youre mind on it a couple of times , i just wanted turbo's on a basicly stock big block whent through a 540 bored and stroked stock block and ended up with a 522 dart block afr heads propane injection instead of propane carbs and a water to air intake intercooler setup .

.....by the way : Josh i start transferring cash to you again next month just keep me informed on progress will you ......

[icebird84]

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/11/2301-1.gifVaaaa looking real good, and keep up the excellent work :1st:

Looking at the 46 pages of good work and many other good project that are here on the forum makes me wish some Times that I life in States or that my brother garage wear bigger , butt My biggest wish is if I had my own garages

[syborg tt]

Good Morning All,

Kenny sent the Valve cover back for the last time.

I took them over to Dennis High Speed Welding - he added a couple bungs on the back of the valve covers.

Just in Case.

www.highspeedwelding.com

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Kenny was even good enough to tell us exactly where he wanted the bungs.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Intake Tube looking nasty - man this thing needs some paint.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Now all three pieces are in Rich Miltons hands getting cleaned up.
Rich is going to smooth the Valve covers & intake tube.

Once he's done with them he will hand them over to Bob Thrash so he can work his magic.

[sutton82]

Forgive my ignorance, but what are those bungs for?

BTW, the truck is beautiful.

[watahyahknow]

[protour73]

Marty.........are you going to finish by next month?????? World of Wheels??

[syborg tt]

It's been a long weekend.

Some of you may already know that Kenny was injured over the weekend at a Rock Crawling event.

He was ejected from the vehicle as it rolled over landing on him crushing his skull.

He was life flighted to St John Hospital in Tulsa, OK where they put over 20 plates and more then 30 screws in his head. They had to removed some of his brain tissue that was exposed to prevent infection. They feel that the loss of brain tissue shouldn't be a problem.

He also suffered a Fractured Cheak Bone, Broken Foot & Ruptured Ear Drum.

It has been a trying couple days for the family but it seems like Kenny is doing incredibly good actually better then they expected. So good that this morning he was able to eat breakfast and they will be moving him out of ICU.

At this point and time it doesn't appear that he has any problems.

It is a miracle that he is alive and doing so good all I ask is that everyone please say a prayer for Kenny and his family.

There are a bunch of people sending Kenny T-shirts & magazines as a get well wish and if you would like to do the same you can send them to:

Travis Ball
13821 toepfer rd
garfield, Ar 72732

I am sure he would appreciate it.

[syborg tt]

Good Morning All,

Well, I have good -- No, I have GREAT News Kenny is home resting with his family.

So since he's home I figure I would continue updating all of the hard he has been doing on the truck.

The AAW Wiring harness installed and almost complete in this picture.
One of the best features is that all of the wires dead head at the fuse panel.
This helps to keeps all of the wiring super clean under the dash and makes for an easy install.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

The Sparco seats installed in the truck.
The seat cushion is going to take a little work but they may work.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

More pictures of the Dash wiring.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Air Ride Controller -- waiting for a home in the Center console.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

We have plenty of update that I can share between now and Christmas so keep watching the BB's.


I also want to thank everyone that kept Kenny and his family in there thoughts and prayers this past week.
It has really meant a lot to them and everyone close to them.

Life has taught me one thing people may come and go in your life but great friend are irreplaceable
and I look forward to being able to call Kenny when I'm bored at work just to see what's going on.

[Chevrolaine]

That IS great news! Glad to hear he's back home!
I'm sure the truck misses him also, it's looking great.

[syborg tt]

Good afternoon All,

Taking everyone way back to May 26,2006 for this picture.
Dave from Comp Fab did the Sheetmetal Dash Conversion
www.comfab.com
I did the designed layout for the quages.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Then Doc over at Docs Kustom cut the custom Dash Panel.

www.docskustom.com

All the Guages sit at different heights instead just being flush mounted.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Kenny put the Dash in for the last time on his watch.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Remember these ?
Just wait till you see them in the dash !!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Kenny fit all of the guages in the Dash Panel
I just can't wait to sit behind the wheel and look at the dash.

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

While I was walking the floor at Sema I ran into Steve at Twistmachines.

Good afternoon All,

Just another Quick Update.

Kenny has pretty much finished up all of the electrical.
This is the first time the lights have been on since Sept of 2001.

The truck looks freakin' awesome, but I gotta say this - I hate the clear taillights. the white color of the light doesn't mix with the pewter/silver of the rest of the truck. I actually think stock taillights would look good. the red would complement the red upper body color.

but... it's not my truck. :D

I agree. Or at least tint the clear ones a little to knock down the brightness of them. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Incredible fab work. Great choice of color/style. I should probably read the whole thread but,Are you doing the fab work or are you the project Mngr.?

Actually I used to work on the truck.

Dave at Comp Fab did the chassis

Guy at Rockford Racecraft built the Motor

Mike @ Race Proven Motors built a bunch of custom Motor Parts

Kenny, Travis, Kenny Sr did the Paint & Bodywork and now they are doing the final assembly

Bob Thrash did the Graphics

and Tracy Weaver from Recovery Room Interiors is going to the Interior.

So in the End I am just the project manager.

However when Kenny is done with the truck it will come back to Chicago and I will do some small stuff and then Rad Rides is going to Dyno the Truck

I have been out of touch on your build for a while.........how's Kenny doing? and is the truck still shooting for World of Wheels next week? Hope to see you there!! talked to TEDDY last week, as he was at the Grand Rapids show......we were talking about you, were your ears ringing?? LOL

[syborg tt]

Kenny's doing really good - he still has a long road ahead of him. Right now his recovery is much more important and the truck has slowed a little. So no dice on the WOW show but I am planning on going to the show. Shoot me and e-mail and we can maybe hook up at the show. [email protected].

Tell Teddy - What up Brother

[syborg tt]

Good Morning All,

When I started this project it was my goal to team up with all of the best builders and build my dream truck.

But it doesn't stop there, in order to build a great project you need top of the line parts.
That brings me to today's post.

When we were looking for sound deadening the choice was simple - Cascade Audio Engineering

www.cascadeaudio.com

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

I know most of you may have never heard of them but trust me there stuff is far supieor to the mass marketed stuff.

Each kit - yes each kit is designed to satisfy your projects requirements.
Options include:
Car Noise Control Kits
Car Noise Control Dampers
Car Noise Control Barriers
Car Thermal Products
Car Noise Control Gasketing
Car Sound Level Meter

For Project Syborg we choose Noise Control & Thermal Protections.
VB-2HD -- Vblok Vinyl Heavy Duty Dampening Sheet (.075" Thick)
VB-4 -- Vblok Barrier Pad; New Super Flex Barrier 37 x 54
VB-2MAXBP -- Vmax Aluminum Dampening Sheet, 20pcs bulk pak NEW !
VB-5 -- Vblok Gasketing Foam ( .125" Nitrle-Neopreme Foam ) 10" x 10"
DPP7 -- Deflex Power Pad 7" dia. Pair
D12 -- Deflex Sub-woofer Pad 12 x 12" Single

Check out VB2 installed on these two doors

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

When it comes to vibration damping sheet materials, there simply is nothing better than VB2 (.040) and VB2HD (.070). VB2 and VB2HD are lightweight, highly formable, vinyl based damping sheets that contain a silica mica and ceramic load incorporated to convert panel resonance (vibration) into low level heat through friction. The VB2 products are odorless and offer excellent cosmetic integration characteristics and may even be painted to achieve the ultimate in OEM appearance.

When applied to the surface directly behind the door trim panel as a replacement for the flimsy, plastic vapor barrier, the VB2 products perform a variety of functions.

Primarily, they act as a viscoelastic vibration damper lowering the resonant frequency of the sheetmetal, plastic or fiberglass substrate. VB2 and VB2HD will effectively turn the doors into a much more solid enclosure instead of the "tin can" that comes from the auto manufacturer. The products feature an extremely aggressive, modified acrylic adhesive that is stable to 250°. VB2 and VB2HD are also Class A fire rated making them acceptable for commercial and residential applications.

Secondly, because the materials are much more dense than flimsy plastic, they act as a vapor barrier and airborne sound barrier when applied over the access holes leading into a door cavity. Low to mid and high frequency road noise may enter a passenger compartment through the doors as well as back wave energy from door mounted speaker systems. The VB2 products perform extremely well in this application to block these irritating road noise and prevent acoustical short circuits.

Professional automotive builders worldwide choose VB2 and VB2HD for the lightweight, high performance characteristics as well as for the extremely clean look of the finished installation. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or comments regarding the installation or application of these products.

Good Morning All,

This post is for all of the people that were concerned about the taillights.

Yes, we agreed we needed to do something different with the lights.
So after searching everywhere I found a set of lights that look pretty darn good

Found them on Ebay of all places
Item number: 360125458410

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Once the Line-x is all cleaned up they should blend in well with the back of the truck.

Can you let us know where you got the mesh ?

I like the look of what you used and have found it surprisingly hard to find mesh like that. Maybe its not what I think - Its easy to find standard stainless mesh to use in a protective manner but its not really cosmetic, and I have found (very expensive) decorative electrochromed cosmetic mesh like you see on pimped out Chrysler 300's or Cadillacs, but have had a hard time finding a mesh like you are using which is more than anything like a speaker grill type material.

Maybe it just looks different int he picture and that is standard ss mesh but it lookslike what I've been looking for.l

KennY is BacK! Like I said, I do not know him; but I am a huge FaN! This is the SickesT little TrucK that I have ever seen!

Actually the mesh is from i think Maxwell House or one of the coffee company's. We kinda borrowed it.


however these guy's are a great source.

Thanks ! that is exactly the kind of supplier I've been looking for. I wasted so much time trying to find bulk mesh, every link I followed only sold it as vehicle specific and overpriced units.
