Coming together nicely. looks like a nice system. Can the muffler be turned so a not to hang below the frame?

So I must have missed it... What did you spray on the underside of the tub?


It is sprayed with Raptor Liner. Great stuff!

It can be moved up a bit. In the pics it was just loosely installed. I finished the install today, moved things around etc. Several times to get plenty of clearance around the tubes. A little fiddling and trimming was required to get things just right. I am very happy with the final results.

Looks really good Tom!! Cant wait to see it on the road!



Yours is looking good too Todd. You need to venture out this way if you get a chance... The green gasser that was at SC is in my shop getting some wiring straightened out and it is about to go under my knife to redo his dash. I know you didn't get to make it to SC but some of it has come close to you. :)

I know George and saw the gasser while he was building it. He lives about 10 minutes down the road. He has a nice orange EB too. I would love to get out there and look over the finished goods, but I have so little time... We shall see.

With the bottom of my tub lined, I decided the engine bay was good but not good enough so we went at it again, this time spending 4 additional days smoothing panels etc. taking it to the next level. I sprayed some color and clear on it last night and am very pleased with the outcome that it now matches the exterior for quality and finish. It looked good before... Just not good enough. My BOCD can be a real pain but the end results are sheer enjoyment!

Looks great! Did you have a hard time getting in between the inner fenders and the firewall or core support?



We did, it was a pain, a process of cutting air back etc to get the paint back in the tight area. Ended up putting a lot of paint in there to get it, though I a sure most ended up on the shop floor but it is done.

Looks great! That color match bedliner would look good in the engine compartment too.

Finished up a bunch of little projects... Painted the cowl, window hinge and frame. Also plumbed the transmission to the cooler, installed dip sticks on the engine and trans, ran the vent line on the trans and am getting other little odds and ends wrapped up this week... Getting ready for a tub setting party this weekend!

I noticed you dont have the air intake box on the passenger side. I think I remember reading why you don't have it on there but refresh my memory again please?
