"Dark Sarcasm"

[chopper tom]

If you like it better hold on to it ,i learned my leson on my clone truck .
I get real atached to things and have a hard time letting go though
I am curios though ,if you do build something else ,what will it be?????
One thing is for sure ,my next builds will be cheeper on gas!?

 

[FlatBroke]

I don't have a clue as to what I would build to be honest.

2 things are certain though........
1. It will be a bowtie (or @ least a bowtie Heartbeat)
2. It will be off the wall.


I would love to be able to start me a scratch built rod like you started...

Looks good Flat. That should get more air in.

 

[FlatBroke]

Really all I did was elevate it.

But hey, it git the breather up off of the motor heat a little bit. Well in my pricerange too.........FREE

 

[chopper tom]

I see ya got into a project this weekend. Sometimes the simple projects makes the real fun in our builds!
I like the big thick breather ,where'd ya get it ?

 

[FlatBroke]

All I did was take another Low Profile base and cut it up, bolted it to the bottom if another one that was flipped upside down. It raised the air filter about 3 inches.

Once again, did it with stuff I had lying around the garage. Only thing I spent was time, no money.

I wish I would have seen this build before now. Pretty cool and we started about the same time. I bought this for my then 14 year old son. He did most of the work. He will be 16 in a few months and it's ready to drive.

We moved the front & rear mounts up for the leaf springs 2" . Flipped the axle over the springs and cut some coils in the front. We have to get the 3" drop spindles for the front and that will get it in the weeds. Future plans call for 2" bigger tires all the way around and a 3" body drop. After that we may see about taking 3" out of the roof.

Rebstew,

The burnout vid is always a crowd pleaser.

Rebstew,
Do you still have the cab lights, and are you still running the cab visor.


I would also like to put a streetscoop like that on the "Dark Sarcastic" truck.

That is my son at 14 with the gun. Yeah he needed a mask on but we had 3 doors open on the garage. Funny with the way you worded that. I had met Ed Roth years ago and he signed a very colorfull T shirt that I use to paint in all the time. He wrote: To Steve, Wear a mask or die! Ed Roth

I didn't want to hi jack your thread. There are 100's of pics and a full run down on the build on the club web site. Here's the link> http://www.scroungers.net/project-progress-f9/corey-s-stepside-chevy-t977.htm

Still running the visor. I looked all over trying to find one and ended up buying one off of a broken down truck two blocks away from my house.
Cab lights are gone. I held on to them for a while and started cleaning up the garage and tossed them.
