    Wheel tubs

    Finally got around to having DBrods make me a set of custom wheel tubs for the truck. (Yes, they are raw steel now, and will get a "finish" put on them.)

    As always, fantastic work Jon. Attention to details and thoughtful planning are absolutely fantastic. Thanks again Jon.

    Looks great man. By finish i hope you mean a little wire brush action followed by a health does of salt water. Patina i believe the fancy people call it

    Looks good SC. Clean them up nice and put a coat of primer, then top coat with blue. Then sand the crap out of them reviling all the layers.. Perfect!!!

    16-18 now base wastegate spring, even ran it at 20 for a few days

    2003-4 I think. Have my eyes on changing to an aluminum block to get more weight off the nose.
