Trent is the MAN! Glad to see this build thread. I have been getting updates from him, but the small cell phone pics aren't as good s these.

The chassis is 50" wide. I have tried to update the thread but tapatalk doesn't always cooperate with pics

 

[ghetto]

So it looks like tap a talk will let me post pictures again so I will try to update the build again. I have made some progress so it will be catchup if the app cooperates.[emoji35]

So I changed up the shock hoops. I ended up cutting the front off and redoing it.

 

[ghetto]

So I guess you can see he is going to run ORI's.[emoji41] It was set up with hoops in the rear but, we ended up changing it.
I also mocked up a sweat hood.

We decided on this fit the stinger. We also decided to put the radiator in the front.

That looks good... and strangely familiar.

 

[ghetto]

Yours is looking good too.

There wasn't a lot of room driver's side for the exhaust side so I made my own. It goes around the front of the motor and ties in on the passenger side. It makes the pedal mounts way easier for the driver.

Trent going a complete harness from jims performance. It upgrades to a late model style computer. I called him a couple times, and he was great on the phone. I think he does some other wiring harnesses too. It made the wiring much easier, and we even have the connector for the obd scan tool now.

Here is the adapter for the 3.8 to the 700r4.

Front shock hoops
Rear shock mounts

The rear mount got dimple dyed but I don't have any good pics on my phone. Once the shock hoops were done I made a hood out of aluminum.

 

[ghetto]

I am going to just go through everything quick. I was going to be a little more detailed, but it is pretty far along and I want to get caught up.

 

[ghetto]

This is how the rear axle turned out.
