Project "Miss Stress"

flamesaway · 11-22-2007, 10:57 PM

How far is the bodydrop going to be? I swore when I did mine it didn't rub it was 3". It used to be a stepside.

I have hedman headers but if you intend on lowering your motor this way you should build your own or get advanced adapters headers. Anyways these are AFCO solid motor mounts and midplates. They will be gusseted properly after mock up.

I also used a flaming river manual steering box to further lighten the truck.

flamesaway · 11-27-2007, 09:20 AM

So last weekend I had some time to work on the truck. I managed to get one of the tubs trimmed and tacked in place and the other trimmed to fit. I also put some MIC manual valves on (front/back) so I can move it easier. And I put the drivers seat in. Next I have to finish the tranny tunnel and modify the seat bracket or get something else to work better. Getting some gauges soon hopefully so I can wrap up the dash.

FCKNLOW · 11-27-2007, 01:54 PM

badass build man.....where did you get that fuel tank?

flamesaway · 11-27-2007, 02:01 PM

MAS engineering (Ad in Street Rodder Mag) For a little over $100.

FCKNLOW · 11-27-2007, 02:08 PM

awesome...how many gallons is it? i was having a hell of a time tryin to find a fuel cell i like for in the bed....and i really like that one.

flamesaway · 11-27-2007, 02:11 PM

Mine is a 14 gal. and I think it will just fit in a stepside. You can get them with a filler on the side or center too I think. Are you using a stock motor?

FCKNLOW · 11-27-2007, 02:13 PM

nah, id be using it for my sonoma project...with a smallblock.

Mapquest says it take 4 hr. 56 min. to get to you.

I might have to think it over. Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know really soon if I can do it or not. But anyway Is the frame stock or ....... got any pics of how it sets now?

dimedrop · 11-28-2007, 02:53 PM

nice build what size wheels did you use for the dually bed?

dimedrop · 11-28-2007, 02:53 PM

completely stock. i'm at work for the night but will get some pics tomorrow

flamesaway · 11-28-2007, 08:37 PM

Cool, rolemodel, what other stock parts do you have cause I need some stuff.

drps10 · 11-28-2007, 11:27 PM

in love.. subscribes

flamesaway · 11-29-2007, 12:48 AM

Just for fun/torment, I bought the wheels out of the basement and dusted them off.

sonomaguy · 11-29-2007, 09:11 AM

I love those. That is 1 awesome lip on those things.

LOPHAT · 11-29-2007, 09:18 AM

Dude don't POR that frame, it won't do it justice. Prime and paint that shit body color, or use that rattle can epoxy chassis black frame paint. I think Eastwood Co. makes some.

I dunno it's your ride, but I think it would look soooooo much better all smooth-(not necessarily shiny), that POR stuff won't look as good.

IMO it's your ride...looks friggin sweet.

I just remembered what your dash reminded me of...I used to have a 77 pontiac Firebird...it reminds me of those 80's style Trams Am dashes from back in the day...specially the stainless turned look...nice.

Thanks man. We'll have to see on the frame, you won't see it anyways.
The dash is my favorite part about the truck so far. It took a while to make but it sets it off. And I'm trying to stay with the buick, pontiac, gmc theme rather then the chevy. Also keeping that 70s british touring car flavor. Still going with plaid inserts in some new seats too. I just wish I would have done a manual trans.

jman · 11-29-2007, 10:00 PM

awesome build

i love the dually bed. can't beat the look of that dish. have a ? were you inspired by the GMC grill when building your dash. looks just like it. awesome work

flamesaway · 11-29-2007, 11:28 PM

Good point it kinda resembles the grill. Not intentional I assure you.

LOPHAT · 11-29-2007, 11:28 PM

Nice, something different, I like the route you are going. Forge some new ground young man...wit yo bad self!

Check out the loud ass material i'm using on my seats in my 59 bug.

flamesaway · 11-30-2007, 08:23 AM

I almost bought a '64 bug this summer. That material is sweet. I can't wait til X-mas I'm getting some gauges, then I can see what colors to use on the dash. Haven't found the right one yet. Anyone have any suggestions for gauges that aren't a million dollars? I like Classic Instrument gauges, and the new SPEK ones but their alittle pricey!

rolemodel · 11-30-2007, 12:05 PM

rolemodel · 11-30-2007, 12:05 PM

there it is, i have the rebuilt title for it

FCKNLOW · 12-01-2007, 04:53 PM

hey man do you by chance still have the number for MAS? i looked in like 20 street rodder mags and couldnt find them!

flamesaway · 12-01-2007, 10:38 PM

here's a link for yeah. Don't know why but they don't have pics of them, but they're pretty self explanatory.

Myst · 12-02-2007, 10:52 AM

why dont you use the stock gauges that came with the dash?? ...or get them ...thats what Im going to try and use on mine ...but all in all the truck looks sick ...and whats the dash out of?

flamesaway · 12-02-2007, 11:09 AM

Thanks, your trucks sweet. The dash is hand made, didn't really draw anything out just started and kept going. Going with 3 2" temp, volt, oil pressure; 3 3/8" tach and speedo.
