CleanSierra Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Would you REALLY honor the "if you cut yours, I'll cut mine" comment? It's almost tempting on the sheer challenge. Don't worry dude, I'm a wuss about it right now too I've had mine since it had was sparkly and new and 60 payments. It takes a lot to want to cut into my baby. I do love me some leg room and moving air though, so it's inevitable. You'll be the first one to know when the grinder is hooked up. I've actually got a good friend with a plasma cutter and I bet it would make quick work of the flimsy metal. *Edit- I believe I used the wrong version if shear. Shear is what you do to sheep, sheer is the word I wanted Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO A DAMN BLOWTHROUGH And let me tell you, the plasma cut through my back wall like a steak knife through butter, did it in about 10 mins, just take your time and make sure your cut is nice so if you ever take it out, it's easy to tack weld and seal back up.

Twostrokeking Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 So my buddy ordered a roll of white LEDs so i bought some from him. Just two strips long enough to go across my grill. First I took my grill off scuffed everything behind it. Then it got a fresh coat of black paint. Before After Then I glued the leds in the grill. Both strips right across the center. After I soldered leads onto them and heat shrunk the connections. Don't know why its so blurry but here are the LED's in the grill. And this is a crappy cell phone pic cause i forgot to take on on the camera.. it looks blue but its really a bright white. It turns heads so thats cool. Cops don't seem to mind either. Then!! This finally showed up. I had full intentions of putting it in today but I forgot I had a 5 page paper due tomorrow... so I spent all day typing that. But its a Dual row Spectra Premium. Had good reviews and wasn't to expensive. Also bought a new lower radiator hose so if it ever splits I dont loose all my anti-freeze after just putting new in. can't wait to get it in. Hopin to eventually get E fans. (: Maybe LS1 or the newer silverados.

boom50cal Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Our wimpy little transmission coolers Looks hella sweet! Makes me want to do the same for my truck, in either white or red What thermostat do you have in your truck, temp wise? I have a 180 right now, hardly ever gets above that unless its hotter than hell and my ac is full blast at a stoplight or in a drivethru. Updates when you get the new radiator put in, thinking of a new one for mine that I can fit an intercooler infront of On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

army_guy137 Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 I just read through your entire build! Awesome work! Everything from your first time using glass in the truck, up to the new box, lights, etc. You are doing unbelievable! I never would've guess a teenager noobie did that. It really is an awesome build.
