[ProJecT] Feel the LUV

Wicked Mayhem · 07-03-2012, 01:48 PM

there is enough room to get them out.

and i am going to either get my stock glass notched for the bars, or i will be getting a new back glass cut. I have a new gasket on the way.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-04-2012, 11:08 PM

Got the glass marked. Gonna take it to the glass shop tomorrow to see about getting it done.

blazed89 · 07-05-2012, 10:08 AM

I believe the back glass isn't tempered so it can be done but cutting glass that is old will possibly break after you score it, hope ya got an extra. I use to be a glass man for some time that curve would be a bitch to cut out it may be easier to get a new one cut with the holes already in it but i could be wrong. Nice work on the cage looks great man.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-05-2012, 10:54 AM

yeah i dont mind having a new one cut. they said they might be able to cut this one but they wanted to see it first. i figure between what i have they can make me a new glass.

bigpokie · 07-05-2012, 08:22 PM

so what happened to the taco stand / water sticker ? iSad. looks good tho

Wicked Mayhem · 07-05-2012, 08:40 PM

It's in the garage now.

My glass couldn't be cut. But they can cut it on non tempered I guess? They didn't have any 3/16 in stock though.

Got everything on the cage welded up and got it all tied into the frame. Gonna rebuild my dash tomorrow, and paint the cage and be done with it.

blazed89 · 07-05-2012, 09:52 PM

Yeah tempered will explode when you try to cut into it but annealed glass you can cut and than get it tempered. You might want to pad the bars around the hole or even run a lexan window if it has any flex and the bar taps it could possibly break it.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-05-2012, 11:05 PM

It will have 3/8" all around the bar. And I plan on running some type of seal around it. But for now I think I'm gonna run lexan to make sure nothing hits lol

doored454 · 07-06-2012, 09:18 AM

So you just have to sandwich the floor between the plates right, after you weld the top plate to the floor? Looks legit man.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-07-2012, 12:26 PM

Yeah I Setup where I wanted the plates, traced it on the floor. Then cut out the floor 1/2" inside the plate size. That away after the cage is tacked together I could drop it down to weld it. Then lifted the cage back up and stuck the plates under it and welded them to floor and cage to that. the bolted plates to bottom side of cab and connected them to the frame.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-07-2012, 09:44 PM

NevurMind85 · 07-07-2012, 09:58 PM

damn i love seeing it everytime you post pics.

Tuckin15's · 07-07-2012, 11:50 PM

Holy shit wicked i luv your truck. wanna trade?

Tuckin15's · 07-08-2012, 12:50 AM

Ok i looked every where through the thread what tire sizes are u running right now?

Wicked Mayhem · 07-08-2012, 09:27 AM

Sure let's trade. Then I can also get rid of my silverado and have a bad ass daily project.

And I'm running a 155/60 and 275/50

RQCustoms · 07-08-2012, 10:27 AM

this truck is so friggin' bad arse!!!

Lol, I was really not expecting that to be your reaction.

Thanks for the tire sizes I'm trying to setup rims for my truck and your truck has the PERFECT stance IMO. I'm looking at the weld RTS in black.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-08-2012, 12:57 PM

Haha. Everything has a price tag!

And I doubt you'll want a 155/60 for the front. It's only 22" tall. I think smart car changed the tire size and runs a 176/60 or 175/55 now. I bet a 165r is what you'd want for an s10

Yea I'll have to bump it up just a tad right now I'm running a 24" overall diameter in the front, and i would like to keep the truck exactly were it sits now because the oil pan is so low to the ground.

TRPLS10 · 07-08-2012, 02:02 PM

if i were you id trade ross! haha

90blueS10 · 07-09-2012, 02:32 AM

I didn't like the idea of the cage. But it looks sick.

Thanks man. I was wondering if it would heat soak a lot easier being so close to the fans. Oh and the cage is looking tite!

Wicked Mayhem · 07-10-2012, 05:16 PM

yeah i wanted a cage cause they look bad ass, but it makes it a little more hassle to get in. not bad though. it needed a cage with the thickness of 2x3 i used.

and i have new knock sensors and harness for it. need to put it all on this weekend.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-17-2012, 10:29 PM

New knock sensors and harness

All back together with a fixed orifice PCV and a vented oil cap.

Didn't like the breather being chrome so I painted it black.

Wicked Mayhem · 07-18-2012, 11:04 PM

TRPLS10 · 07-19-2012, 02:17 PM

looking good man

JDrummond Service Inc. · 07-19-2012, 02:51 PM

looks great man!

90blueS10 · 07-19-2012, 07:18 PM

Im so jealous.

Wicked Mayhem · 08-06-2012, 10:19 PM

Redoing the halo and a-pillar bars. As you can see in the pics they are not very tight fitting. Bugged the hell out of me. Gonna use my dads expertise this time instead of trying to do it on my own

hes good with the bender.

I think the tubing will be here tomorrow, so probably this weekend if my dad and I don't work we will get it knocked out.

LoRollinLS · 08-07-2012, 09:19 AM

Sometimes things don't work out right the first time... here's to more garage time!!

Wicked Mayhem · 08-08-2012, 11:53 PM

Woohoo. More sweating my ass off!

spectre · 08-10-2012, 05:19 AM

Whats up Wicked , man all i have to say is i luv this project, ive been watching your progress for the better part of 3 yrs just never had a reason to be a member till now. I had a 81 chevy luv bout a yr ago and now i have a 01 s10. But anyway sweet project man

Wicked Mayhem · 08-10-2012, 04:25 PM

thanks man..

GM · 08-10-2012, 06:22 PM

There really isn't alot of A-Pillar to hide it behind eh?

Wicked Mayhem · 08-10-2012, 10:56 PM

Nope. This is about as good as it gets with hiding it. Once it's black with the windshield back it it'll be more hidden

mostizzle · 08-10-2012, 11:43 PM

Looks a lot better though.

spectre · 08-11-2012, 08:11 PM

What size piping you using

Wicked Mayhem · 08-11-2012, 11:02 PM

1-5/8 DOM.

Cage is all done and welded. Got it painted as well. Windshield may go in tomorrow.

svmcgover · 08-12-2012, 04:48 PM

Just read your thread yesterday. Killer ride. Saw this today on CL

http://tippecanoe.craigslist.org/pts/3192525604.html

NevurMind85 · 08-12-2012, 06:51 PM

oooo crawfordsville indiana wish i had 600 and a place to work on it.

Wicked Mayhem · 08-12-2012, 09:24 PM

Before. Note all the space between a frame and bar.

Now

It's a thousand times better fitting now. I tried taking pics to kind of hide how shitty it was before. I love the way it's in there now.

doored454 · 08-12-2012, 09:31 PM

Much better, good call on redoing that.

Dvst8r · 08-14-2012, 01:08 PM

does look better

spectre · 08-15-2012, 10:32 PM

Looks good man, id like to put an ls3 or ls7 in my dime but just dont have the money to do that got alot of work to do on her anyway ill try to get a thread going so you can give me some intel

bushwickbill94 · 08-17-2012, 12:45 PM

looks much better

Wicked Mayhem · 08-22-2012, 03:01 PM

nfamus10 · 08-22-2012, 03:04 PM

Yep. No more inspections.

Wicked Mayhem · 08-22-2012, 03:28 PM

That's why I like antique plates. No stickers on windshield, and no front plate.

nfamus10 · 08-22-2012, 03:33 PM

Word. Studebaker is running them. Same story as collectors insurance, I am "on the way to autozone" if I get pulled over or wreck.

Wicked Mayhem · 08-22-2012, 04:39 PM

i have regular liability on the truck. i remember my dad trying to get some type of old car insurance for his old car and they denied him because it appeared to be a race car. had fattys on the back and a full cage. so im assuming i cant get it either lol
