Syborg Twin Turbo
Good Morning All,
I would like to re-introduce myself my name is Marty. I have been working on this project for the last couple years. This truck was supposed to be a daily driver. I purchased a Sonoma GT so I could build it to drive instead of the Marlboro. However with all projects they sometime start with good intentions and then end up on a completely different path. Since begining this project I have sold the Marlboro to help fund this beast. Currently the truck is almost ready for paint and will be heading over to Rad Rides by Troy for final paint and bodywork.. The chassis has been set at 4.75 in the rear and 4.25 in the front at it's lowest point for driving. . Front Suspension is by Air Ride and the rear suspension was hand fabricated by Dave at Competition Fabrication ( CompFab Home ) . The first rendering was done by Bob Thrash at Rad Rides by Troy and the second rendering was done by Carter Hickman. Build Highlights * Chevy V6 Bowtie Block 4 Bolt Nodular Caps * Crower Billet Crankshaft,Oliver Rods w/ JE Pistons * Pontiac Racing Heads w/ Jesel Valve Train * Hogan Intake Manifold w/ Wilson Throttle Body * Precision Turbo's w/ Innovative Waste Gates * 321 Stainless TT Headers w/Stainless Works Exhaust * Billet Specialties Serpentine Pulley System * 4L80E Transmission * Aeromotive Fuel System * Big Stuff 3 Ignition w/ MSD Ignition * Currie Aluminum 9" w/ Aluminum Third Member * Parralel 4 Bar w/ Air Ride Shock Wave Shocks * Bell Tech 2" Drop Spindle's & Bell Tech Sway Bar * Air Ride Upper & Lower Control Arm w/Shock Waves * Air Ride Suspension "Pro-Ride" System * 14" Wilwood Brakes Front and Rear * Dual Master Cylnder with remote Bias in cab Control * Billet Specialties "SLG 20" Soft Lip Wheels, * BFG KDW II Tires - 295 45 20 rear & 235 40 18 front * Fiberglass Front Bumper (modified to allow for air intake for the turbochargers) * Factory Ground Effect remade in Fiberglass * Core Support Modified to accept Custom Radiator, Intercooler and A/C Condensor * Billet Hood Hinges * Harwood Cowl Induction Hood * Smoothed Firewall and Hand fabricated Inner Fenders * "A" Pillar modified to match Fender Lines * Bed Sides Narrowed to match cab width * Shaved Door handles, tailgate handle and gas door * 8 Point Roll Cage * Sheet Metal Dash Conversion * Recovered Factory Interior in Viper Leather and Suede * Carbon Fiber Dash Surround, Center Consule Cover and Shifter Knob * Autometer Gauges * American Auto Wire Harness Fabrication by Comp Fab There are so many other mods that I can't even list them all. here are a few pics.

How wide are your rear wheels and what are the offset? Is your rear end narrowed?

02-27-07 Update - Dedicated to Dave "Myclone"
Good Evening All,
This has been a very long week and a very sad Week. SyTy/SGT - Forums - Myclone is gone We lost a great guy in the SyTy Community and he will be Dearly missed. One of his last post over on syty.net was in my build thread. Dave asked if I would adopt him. The answer is yes but I think you a little to old to be my son and no you can't drive my truck. So you are going to have to sit in the passenger seat. The seat is yours Dave - gonna miss you big guy. Okay I will try to go to back to the updates. The New Head Gaskets arrived  Getting ready to rip the truck apart again.  Don't try this at home alone -- not a good idea. Really I am going to buy a lift for my garage. Wait I have an idea anyone want to sponsor me.  The Bed off and on it's body work stand. Looks like I am going to need to contact Caleb and ask him if he set it up for 7 foot tall body men.  Chassis sitting naked. Actually I started doing a hardware inventory and it's time to get some new nut's and bolts.  Decided to take a few Pics of the chassis while it was apart again.  Just another angle of the rear back half   Tom stopped by on Sunday to help me put the motor back in the truck. Yep -- missing more bolts time to call Billet Specialties.  Fuel cell located back between the rails. Yep missing some more bolts.  This has been the hardest post that I have ever done. Farwell Dave we are all going to miss you. |

Re: Syborg Twin Turbo
Yeah really sorry to hear about your buddy. I still love a 1st Gen over a 2nd gen anyday. I have one of each. Just cant wait to see this thing done. Oh and dont worry, im sure youll find the bolts and nuts months after its been completed. I always put them somewhere so they wont get lost and of course i forget where that place is lol

If you need help with fiberglassing NickZigaitis on here is the person to ask. I do a little sewing on the side so if you have questions about material or anything about seats and seat covers I can answer your questions. |
