Daniel's TruckStiva Build Thread (56k warning)

[Nerd Racing]

I'm gonna ask the quality inspector at work what he'd charge me to polish my compressor housing for my turbo... he did all 4 wheels on his 2010 Camaro SS and they are smooth as glass!

[eurotiva]

Do it yourself. Start with 220 grit, get it smooth. Then go to 320 grit, then 400, 600, 800, 1000. And so on. I did mine

[daniel_cogar]

dang I didnt realize it was that expensive

[Darlo]

Around here it would cost between $80 - $120 to get that polished, hope it is cheaper where you are.

Cant wait to see it all finished!

[daniel_cogar]

yeah Ill search around, It's not really at the top of my list at the moment tho lol

polished ...as soon as I find someone that will do it

Maybe a wheel repair shop would do it for you, or would know someone who does that kind of stuff.

[daniel_cogar]

Daniel you should get that intake powder coated or polished!

okay, so today I got the heater box cut and fiberglassed, and the firewall cut, a box made and welded in, then fiberglassed/sanded. ill get updated pics tomorrow most of my time today went into the sideskirt build. Tomorrows plan is to put the sideskirts on and spread a little mud on the fenders, and finish the firewall. (Today while welding I cought the interior juke carpet on fire and had to run across the yard and get the water hose to put it out with, I lost my speedo cable sadly in the fire)

The gull wings make me wanna get my lambo's installed lol

BTW, did you have to do any re-enforcemants to the doors?

nope lol just the hydro lift. its not to bad a little wiggle but i can live with it. the plan is if that dont work out i can allways go right back to the original.

lol Id have lambo doors if you would have sold me yours...gull wing = back up plan




anyway here is the update for today I got the firewall molded and fiberglassed just waiting for it to dry....its getting cloudy outside and i dont have a garage so maybe dont for the day
