| Thought I'd start a thread and document my build as it progresses along. Night #1, cage, bed, hood and bedsides off. I'm going to give it a good wash-down tomorrow while it still runs. Weather permitting........   |

| Pretty cool to see already. Very interested to see your progress and most importantly your results.
What is your bore (kit) going to end up? 686? | |

What is your bore (kit) going to end up? 686? Yes sir 686. Did hours of cleaning today. Put new pads on all three corners and started stripping all the aweful Dupli-Color Truck-Bed lining off the cage. Remind me NEVER to paint anything with that sorry crap again............................But on a good note, it scrapes off easyly........  |

| That is a nice looking cage. Who makes it? I didn't know you were running an aftermarket cage previously. How are you going to coat it? Powder coat? | |

Yes sir 686.
I figured that would be the most reliable. There are a # of those builds out there with solid reliability. I've read a few when you get to the 727 that there can be some overheating issues. I guess it depends on the build though. Good luck on the build! | |

Tiger it's from www.inducedfabrication.com . 4-inches lower than stock. I'm not going to P/C it. I'm gonna paint it with base-clear. |
