Well, I mounted the turbo's and figured I'd throw out a sneak peek..

 

Are you moving the radiator?

 

Yes. Radiator and condenser are going in bed at the tailgate area. Tailgate will have an actuator that opens tailgate bottom when ignition is on.ive seen many street rods with the radiators underneath the rides with less area to flow and cooling isn't an issue for them so should be much better with this setup.

 

Great progress. The radiator setup sounds interesting. Thanks for the pics

 

Nice! I think your Father-in-law is going to have a handful of fun with this truck. Those turbo's look large.

 

They're 62mm turbos the setup I'm going with has put 1100rwhp down in mustang platforms. I'm shooting for 800rwhp so I'm not pushing it too hard.

 

Considering the truck started with about 180 horses, 800 is a big bunch!

 

Truck is gonna be awesome. I don't envy the wiring you're gonna have to do but it should be worth it when you're done

 

Got some piping done yesterday..some tweaking to do and although I didn't want the piping up high, I really am digging the look....

Here's a 70 f100 bumper shortened 5.5". Hunting for a good rear bumper to cut up now.

 

Got the wheels last week and finally got time to post. Might look around for better sights as not much going on here unless it's a purist truck...but for now here's whats happenin'...

 

Those wheels definately go well with the overall pkg.

Many folks here, do appreciate originality, but craftsmanship and creativity are valued as well. There have been times that modified trucks were the main topic of discussion, things come and go. At any rate, thanks for sharing your progress.

 

I really like it!

 

How's the wiring going? Do you have the power steering rack hooked up?

 

Wiring will be after I assemble everything for the final time. I know where I need to run everything and took great notes on the donor truck. I used to build limousines for a living so wiring doesn't scare me one bit...the rack is an electric unit off a 2014 mustang and its mounted and looks awesome down in there with no hoses
