mrbigtanker Posted November 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Wow, Ray is getting ready for Christmas mode! We hope to start up the truck Saturday. We were defeated by a blown ECU and some wiring details. Engine harness is being totally reworked. Joe has completely rethought the exhaust, built another custom close, and on and on. It really, really looks good. But enough thread jack. A proper update is coming soon. What is the story on the pup? That is a good looking sidekick ... A good dog makes life richer. No it looks good, it will be one of the best out there thats for sure. I need to step my game up now.shit. 1 Quote Link to comment

ol' 320 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 It is starting to come together. New harness built, needs install. Since you have a newer pic of my truck than I do, why not post it in my truck's build thread, too:) Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr I will just leave this here. 2 Quote Link to comment

ol' 320 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Let me find it. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/59583-69-521-build/page-29 You posted a pic of the gray one in the build thread for the old green one:) I actually bought Joe's green one because he wouldn't sell the gray one at the time, he was building it for himself. Wouldn't you know, before I could pick it up he offered to sell me the one I really wanted! 1 Quote Link to comment

I keep waiting for him to buy a Bluebird, a Halo, or.... wait for it, a 312 sedan and build a badass retromod based on that. It would be the only modified 312 on this forum:) 2 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I don't know, I think we would be trading the lead back and forth, his are just nicer than mine, but I don't have the money into mine he has into his, but I certainly have way more personal hours into my builds. One time I figured out how many different vehicles parts I had on/in my work truck and my 521 kingcab, the work truck more than filled this page and one had to scroll down for a while to get to the end, after I did two vehicles the original thread poster called it waynos modified trucks thread. 2 Quote Link to comment

Wayne I did do a lot of the work myself. As said before just did not weld or do wiring. Did some wiring bit not all of it. time to start doing something to her again. 1 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 So been tossing around the idea of making 300-350 HP. Looking at taking the truck to sheepie built to make it happen. You guys need to check out his website they build the nicest manifolds on the planet. If I do do it I will do a blow through so to not ha e to do the whole thing over again.

mrbigtanker Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 https://sheepeybuilt.com/ Yes thats them. I would have him build me a complete system from scratch to put down at least 300-350 RWHP and then a shot of NOS on the side for dessert. 1 Quote Link to comment
