Good Afternoon All,

Kenny Has been cranking on the truck.
In order to put the chassis together he needed to get a list of Hardware together.

Once it was together we put an order in with Totally Stainless.

Lets just say "Doc" is awesome to work with.
He took my list and pulled it all together in one day.

You say no big Deal - well check out the list at the bottom of this post.
It's 963pcs total and there are still plenty more to order.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_07_24_Totally_Stainless.gif

This is just the hardware for the chassis.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_07_26_KD_0.jpg

All of the hardware come bagged & tagged.
All Kenny has to do is look for the bag that states the area he's working
and he's off to the races.

Good Morning All,

Just a quick little update.

This post is a little out of order -- sorry about that.

Prior to putting the chassis together it was important that we get the right parts for the chassis.

Quick call to Art Morrison and we ordered up some 5/8” x ¾” Stainless Poly Rod End.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_07_22_KD_1.jpg

Okay getting ready to put the motor in the chassis.
However Kenny had a few complaints.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_07_22_KD_0.jpg

Seems the Red Poly Motor Mounts were unacceptable and a Quick call to Summit Racing solved that problem.

Time to order new Black Poly Motor Mounts

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_08_01_ens_3_1114g.jpg

Let's not forget the Tranny Mount.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_08_01_ens_3_1108g.jpg

[syborg tt]

What the heck lets order some more ARP Stainless Steel Bolts
from Totally Stainless.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_08_01_arp_430_3105_w.jpg


Finally the motor is in the chassis

Good Morning All,

The Guys are busy working on the truck
They brushed all of the stainless steel exhaust tubing we got from
the Rod Builder Kit from "Stainless Works".

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_08_11_KD_0.jpg

One of my new Favorite Pictures

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_08_11_KD_1.jpg

That really nice Polished Billet Specialties Steering Column has now been painted black.
You can also see that the pedals are hung as well as the Vintage Air, MSD & Big Stuff 3

Hard to tell from the Picture but the shifter is in with the new Shifter Cable from
George Blake @ Prime Gears

Good Afternoon All,

Kenny started plumbing all of the brake lines.
The ideal way to get the lines from the inside of the frame to the outside of the frame.

PM me about the surgery and come by the Chassisworks booth and say hi!

Good Morning All,

It was a busy day at Kenny's Shop.

Big Al flew in from Florida to Wire the Big Stuff 3 & MSD Ignition.
He was did an awesome job and we couldn't be happier.

Big getting ready to cleaning up the Injector Harness.
All the wires had to be trimmed to equal Length so the harness would look clean.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_09_05_KD_018.jpg

Now this is how it should look.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_09_05_KD_020.jpg

Working on the inside of the truck.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_09_06_KD_2.jpg

All of the necessary wires coming out of the tranny tunnel.

All of the wires neatly run under the manifold.

All that is left is to shrink wrap the all of the fitting to keep the colors dark.

[syborg tt]

Then Ron Wilson from www.hoodpins.net stepped in and made the modification to Rogers Pedal Design.
If you need to have cad files created this is something Ron can do. [email protected]

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/hoodpins_net.jpg

Our goal was to make the pedal arm look similar to the Lokar Gas Pedal
and yes we will be using Shannons Gas Pedal

First Ron created the pedal pad and made it look similar to Shannon's Pedal.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_20_wilsonpad3_4.jpg

Then Ron made the modifications to the Pedal Arm.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_28_Wislon_Brake_Pedal.jpg

So now we have Brake Arm that matches the Lokar Gas Pedal
and a Brake Pad that will match Shannon's Brake Pad.

Good Morning All,

Kenny sent the Valve cover back for the last time.

I took them over to Dennis High Speed Welding - he added a couple bungs on the back of the valve covers.
Just in Case.

www.highspeedwelding.com

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_07_GT_001.jpg

Kenny was even good enough to tell us exactly where he wanted the bungs.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_07_GT_003.jpg

Intake Tube looking nasty - man this thing needs some paint.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_07_GT_005.jpg

Now all three pieces are in Rich Miltons hands getting cleaned up.
Rich is going to smooth the Valve covers & intake tube.

Once he's done with them he will hand them over to Bob Thrash so he can work his magic.

[Kenny_Cox]

um Marty, your photos are not showing up! They don't show up on s10forum either, you're going to have a lot of pissed off addicts here buddy!:willy:

[syborg tt]

It's been a long weekend.

Some of you may already know that Kenny was injured over the weekend at a Rock Crawling event.

He was ejected from the vehicle as it rolled over landing on him crushing his skull.

He was life flighted to St John Hospital in Tulsa, OK where they put over 20 plates and more then 30 screws in his head. They had to removed some of his brain tissue that was exposed to prevent infection. They feel that the loss of brain tissue shouldn't be a problem.

He also suffered a Fractured Cheak Bone, Broken Foot & Ruptured Ear Drum.

It has been a trying couple days for the family but it seems like Kenny is doing incredibly good actually better then they expected. So good that this morning he was able to eat breakfast and they will be moving him out of ICU.

At this point and time it doesn't appear that he has any problems.

It is a miracle that he is alive and doing so good all I ask is that everyone please say a prayer for Kenny and his family.

There are a bunch of people sending Kenny T-shirts & magazines as a get well wish and if you would like to do the same you can send them to:

Travis Ball
13821 toepfer rd
garfield, Ar 72732

I am sure he would appreciate it.

[midnightbluS10]

Whoa! Sorry to hear that. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

[Kenny_Cox]

Definitely, best of wishes to him and his family. Hopefully he'll pull through and quickly too!:(

[syborg tt]

Good Morning All,

Well, I have good -- No, I have GREAT News Kenny is home resting with his family.

So since he's home I figure I would continue updating all of the hard he has been doing on the truck.

The AAW Wiring harness installed and almost complete in this picture.
One of the best features is that all of the wires dead head at the fuse panel.
This helps to keeps all of the wiring super clean under the dash and makes for an easy install.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_18_kd_gt_002.jpg

The Sparco seats installed in the truck.
The seat cushion is going to take a little work but they may work.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_18_kd_gt_004.jpg

More pictures of the Dash wiring.

Air Ride Controller -- waiting for a home in the Center console.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_18_kd_gt_009.jpg

We have plenty of update that I can share between now and Christmas so keep watching the BB's.


I also want to thank everyone that kept Kenny and his family in there thoughts and prayers this past week.
It has really meant a lot to them and everyone close to them.

Life has taught me one thing people may come and go in your life but great friend are irreplaceable
and I look forward to being able to call Kenny when I'm bored at work just to see what's going on.

[slamdimpala]

Truck is looking great Marty as you already know. Its kind of funny how when something like what happened to Kenny makes you stop and think about how fast life can change. Its great that Kenny is home now,you always feel better at home. Is the truck still going to be at the world of wheels?

Good afternoon All,

Taking everyone way back to May 26,2006 for this picture.

Dave from Comp Fab did the Sheetmetal Dash Conversion
www.comfab.com
I did the designed layout for the quages.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2006_05_26_054.jpg

Then Doc over at Docs Kustom cut the custom Dash Panel.
www.docskustom.com
All the Guages sit at different heights instead just being flush mounted.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2006_12_31_012.jpg

Kenny put the Dash in for the last time on his watch.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_10_18_kd_gt_010.jpg

Remember these ?
Just wait till you see them in the dash !!

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2007_07_02_002.jpg

[syborg tt]

Kenny fit all of the guages in the Dash Panel
I just can't wait to sit behind the wheel and look at the dash.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/2008_11_15_kd_gt_1.jpg

While I was walking the floor at Sema I ran into Steve at Twistmachines.
www.twistmachine.com
Steve has some pretty cool Products - One that I just had to have.

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/twist_machines_banner.jpg

Steve is now offering these Trick Billet Guage Bezels
Just one more trick Part to Set off the Interior.

Well, Kenny & Travis are back at it.

The glass was installed front and Back.

On another note how is kenny doing now that hes out and about? I have not really heard any updates on him and know he wont be just sitting around. Let us know or me know how hes doing when you have some time.

Originally we hoped for Detroit - but we've pushed the date out to the Power Tour & Indy Good Guys, then Columbus Good Guys.

I talked with Kenny over the weekend and this morning. He really sounds great. He is still having some problems with his vision, loss of hearing in his right ear and head aches. They also just figured out that the right side of his skull is fractured as is his jaw.

This explains some of his problems. But like he said every day is just a little bit better.

my god - what size wheel you running up front.

[deuce_454]

wow they look huge, I can't imagine what my 16s will look like haha :hail:

16 good grief... only ever seen a 15 inch brembo setup and they were bigger than a vinyl record! but 16! where did you find those rotors?? Donkz cars?? boeing???

[ironworks]

Wilwood does, you just have to build a truck to put them on. You need 16" rotors to stop 24" rims with 44" tires I suppose.

Truck looks good, I wonder who will have theirs done first you or me. We have a Feb 1st upholstry date.

[GMracer]

I don't want to hijack this thread, but yes Wilwood sells them, I need to have custom hats made since I'm converting to 5lug, but I love the look of big brakes filling up a wheel, 20x8.5 up front and 20x15 out back, the rears will be 14 4pistion fronts 16 6piston.

Back on track, whats next?

[65 347]

Nope only 14's

Thats funny my car originally came with 14 inch wheels!:wow:

[G-Body]

After that they were sprayed with Self Etching Primer and then sprayed with base coat clear coat.

thank you - I know i've said this many times. But if it was for Guy's like Kenny, Travis & Kenny Sr this project wouldn't be what it is today.

[syborg tt]

Good Morning All,

When I started this project it was my goal to team up with all of the best builders and build my dream truck.
But it doesn't stop there, in order to build a great project you need top of the line parts.

That brings me to today's post.

When we were looking for sound deadening the choice was simple - Cascade Audio Engineering

www.cascadeaudio.com

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/Cascade_Audio.jpg

I know most of you may have never heard of them but trust me there stuff is far supieor to the mass marketed stuff.

Each kit - yes each kit is designed to satisfy your projects requirements.
Options include:
Car Noise Control Kits
Car Noise Control Dampers
Car Noise Control Barriers
Car Thermal Products
Car Noise Control Gasketing
Car Sound Level Meter

For Project Syborg we choose Noise Control & Thermal Protections.
VB-2HD -- Vblok Vinyl Heavy Duty Dampening Sheet (.075" Thick)
VB-4 -- Vblok Barrier Pad; New Super Flex Barrier 37 x 54
VB-2MAXBP -- Vmax Aluminum Dampening Sheet, 20pcs bulk pak NEW !
VB-5 -- Vblok Gasketing Foam ( .125" Nitrle-Neopreme Foam ) 10" x 10"
DPP7 -- Deflex Power Pad 7" dia. Pair
D12 -- Deflex Sub-woofer Pad 12 x 12" Single


Check out VB2 installed on these two doors

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/VB2_SUBARU_PASS_DOOR.jpg

http://www.syborgtwinturbo.com/albums/Build/CAE_VB2_TACO_DOOR_AFTER.jpg

When it comes to vibration damping sheet materials, there simply is nothing better than VB2 (.040) and VB2HD (.070). VB2 and VB2HD are lightweight, highly formable, vinyl based damping sheets that contain a silica mica and ceramic load incorporated to convert panel resonance (vibration) into low level heat through friction. The VB2 products are odorless and offer excellent cosmetic integration characteristics and may even be painted to achieve the ultimate in OEM appearance.


When applied to the surface directly behind the door trim panel as a replacement for the flimsy, plastic
vapor barrier, the VB2 products perform a variety of functions.

Primarily, they act as a viscoelastic vibration damper lowering the resonant frequency of the sheetmetal, plastic or fiberglass substrate. VB2 and VB2HD will effectively turn the doors into a much more solid enclosure instead of the "tin can" that comes from the auto manufacturer. The products feature an extremely aggressive, modified acrylic adhesive that is stable to 250°. VB2 and VB2HD are also Class A fire rated making them acceptable for commercial and residential applications.

Secondly, because the materials are much more dense than flimsy plastic, they act as a vapor barrier and airborne sound barrier when applied over the access holes leading into a door cavity. Low to mid and high frequency road noise may enter a passenger compartment through the doors as well as back wave energy from door mounted speaker systems. The VB2 products perform extremely well in this application to block these irritating road noise and prevent acoustical short circuits.

Professional automotive builders worldwide choose VB2 and VB2HD for the lightweight, high performance characteristics as well as for the extremely clean look of the finished installation. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or comments regarding the installation or application of these products.

that is what we use

Right now Kenny is taking it easy and trying to get better. I told him since there has never been a rush to finish the truck - why start rushing now.

Our Goal would be to Debut the truck at the First Stop of the Power Tour

You are correct. Right before Kenny injured himself they had wet sanded most of the truck.

Good Morning All,

This post is for all of the people that were concerned about the taillights.

Yes, we agreed we needed to do something different with the lights.
So after searching everywhere I found a set of lights that look pretty darn good

Found them on Ebay of all places

Once the Line-x is all cleaned up they should blend in well with the back of the truck.
