Sefugi is gonna "PIMP MY RIDE" were discusing 4 bucket seats a major center console and lots of custom touches !! pics and full build thread to follow, so follow along and well see where this one goes!!

Time to start laying plans for the old work trucks interior, gettin some new buckets soon!!! then custom center console time !

a little thank you to sefugi for doing back to back projects for me, I have been working alot this summer and time off has been scarce. Thanks for letting me tie up your garage for the past 9 months or so. You really are the best!!!! A big round of applause for sefugi, this guy rocks!!! Next project has got to be for you, enough other peoples dreams time to tackle a project for you~~~Im sure it will be a show stopper;)

come to fl will work for door pods, lol

Trying to get a plan on paper for the interior and sound system! come by and check out the progress, we could always use a hand!!!

the leds are super bright and very compact love em!!!!

hey anybody see trucks today {on spike tv} the lizard skin spray in sound deadner, looks pretty trick, gonna be something like that in this projects future,great coverage,and thin, covers all the nooks and crannies, anyone used this product?

ecm we dont need no stinkin ecm!! By null at 2010-11-06 sure gonna miss that check engine light! not ! yeah I just wanted old school under the hood and were gonna do modern sound and interior, now that the old gauges are out ,the fabrication can begin on the cluster, not sure on backing material choice yet, metal or plastic to mount the gauges, but should be pretty clean when put back togethor,

yeah the progress train seems to be on track!!! gonna bust open the dash soon to introduce the new gauges and , if that goes well ,maybe we will be kickin the tires and lighten the fires!!!! By grasshoper at 2010-11-02

yeah the engine bay cleaned up real nicely, as for the bucket seats, should be a sweet set up, center console from front to back,

jeez its getting a little sappy in here with all this pining over sefugi, just kiding as his 2nd project it really is remarkable his visions are over the top and his execution is super clean!! Hes got the talent to turn out show cars, and in my case truck, from tuner to tire friar, sefugi has got my vote , Great builder, great mentor, and super friend!!!! keep up the good work!,

unfortunately, we havent made any progress this week, Grasshoppers got a little sniffle, actually a pretty good cold , but hopefully we will resume progress tommorow,

my first system was back in 1989 and it consisted of a pioneer tape deck/am fm receiver and some house speakers[ technic]with seat belts around them, lol oh the good ole days!! wish I had a pic cause it was funny,

hmm

master gi {sefugi} is right there is alot of this build that I have left out, in the way of pics and details, but theirs alot more pics and story to come. thank you master Gi !!!

Thanks!! Progress has slowed a little do to Grasshopper's work schedule, but we are getting there... should get closer this week, time for wiring and some dash surgery! maybe hear the rat roar this week?!

Using the wire brush to do a little design so it wouldnt look so plain was just killer, I think it is great but thats just my opinion. thanks I was trying to give it an older style look, I think there cool

what does everyone think of the fuse mounts ?

summit came through with the wrong radiator hose, but they overnighted the correct one with clamp and a water neck 90 degree swivel, pics to come after install and maybe a teaser video,

delivery came today! final plumbing pieces By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 gonna button up some loose ends tonight, and get started on the wiring harness if all goes well .

progress update, last post was not feeling the fuse mount on the passenger side , it was not gonna work so after some scrap hunting decided to go with some plate aluminum. By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 decided to try my hand at some detail work on the plates with a cordless drill and wire brush, looking for a scalloped pattern By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 ! By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 I like these mounts better than the previous ones, fuse holders mounted, fuses installed were going hot By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 By grasshoper at 2010-10-21 got the twin e-fans and radiator permanently mounted, all wired , soldered , and shrink wrapped, man sefugi has got a super clean sense of flow when it comes to wiring, routing, painting, installing flux capacitors, you name it if hes involved , half ass wont cut it its either ready for the judges to inspect or its nothing!
