not sure which sub forum this should be in but ive been absent for the most part with work and have seen some cool stuff here and there and though i might share to other enthusiasts.

split window c6



525 ci lsx , rhs alum block , mast heads , ls7 4.0 whipple (going in a sand car but we are going to see if it will fit in a truck without cutting the firewall .





here is a truck kit with a 2.8 or a 3.0/3.3 iirc




porche 911 with slightly modded ls7 , waiting for dual rear mounts .



this was the 340 ton boulder that they transported 60 miles to lacma, my employer had to follow it and lift the telephone lines so it could clear, took the rock 11 days to reach its destination , the trailer had 176 tires . it had 3 tractor trailers pushing/pulling . it was very cool . they filmed a show on the discovery and should air soon , iirc it may be mega movers. (click on it , its a video)



and last some of my recent builds , nothing too crazy

spikes tactical , billet upper/lower spikes piston 16" ss barrel , magpull acc, trijicon ta31f with 4.0 moa rmr, la rue/harris bipod chambered in .223




this is a safe queen but will stay stock , taking it out in about an hour , my mom wanted to go shooting for her b day and im hoping we can go to turners after and get her a present.



i got to steal the better half DD for a while and it ended up with hoosiers and a light ecu and tcu tune , i just picked up a pulley (cars has been out for 10 years and the blower pulley was just developed and some cooling mods heat ex and pump and re tune) should easily be in the 11's . it ran 12.3 almost stock in bad weather .




the car that i got to smoke but lost a head gasket in the process , sounded like a pretty heavily modded , tvs'ed srt-8



and the stable

 

Cool pics Chase!!!!

I kinda dig the split window! Cool car.

Also i think its pretty damn cool to see slicks on the benz !

Your Trucks look awesome as always! Could ya give me info on the SSS rollpan?

 

Damn that rock doesnt look that big. Kinda gives me a new appreciation for the rocks I see get ripped up every day at work. never knew they weighed that much

 

tim , the rollpan is made for the SS specific since it has the lower body moldings. standard roll pans dont fit the ss without looking horrible. a guy on the SSS.com forum , BSER makes them and they are pretty nice . i got mine with the truck when i bought it back in 04 , the installation was pretty rough though so i completely re fitted it and it looks and fits perfect. molded would have been nice but its tough to fill fiberglass with plastic so i left it .


yeah , cody i dont know if it makes a difference but it was granite. they said it was one of the biggest one piece of granite around . it was just weird to see someone who wants a stupid rock that big . i read on it , he paid over 100k for it but then spent over 10 million to move it . the route had to be thouroughly engineered because of overpass's , alot of them had to be bypassed and street/on-off ramps used since it was tall. i cant wait to see the documentry to see if im in it.

 

Yes, it does make a difference. Granite is approximately 150# per cubic foot, whereas a normal limestone(what we use down here mostly) is around 135-140#PCF. That doesn't really sound like a big difference til you figure how many cubic foot that piece of rock is. So given the same size rock but in limestone it would be around 300ish tons. I don't have cable, hopefully they put that episode on YouTube or on their site. I love big machinery, that's probably why I like my profession.

 

granite is pretty dense, its igneous, thats why its so much heavier.

We have a marble sculpture that weighs 18 tons that we just moved. It was 24 tons before scuplting.

My dad and I are in the marble and granite business so I find these things very interesting, my friends think I'm a nerd

 

Was the split window C6 a concept car?? custom build?? I kinda dig it

 

That Challenger looks terrible with the "Asanti" b.s. and whatnot. I'm glad you put it to him in a truck. Nice rides--always liked the E55's, and the LSX is awesome.

 

c6 was a ls2 vette with major body mods. there is a specialty corvette shop near me that does alot of stuff. i thought i saw it at barry white shop which is next door to my work , they film the show wrecks to riches there . body work was very nice on it although the money spent on the exterior , the motor seemed all stock from what i saw.

dont worry about being a nerd, i cant tell you how many how its made , mega movers , build it bigger shows i watch and get yelled at because its boring. i really like that kind of stuff . you can never have too much knowledge , not even steven hawking.

 

Very cool pics.
