Oh Chris that is gonna turn out sick! I love your choice on the bumper. That s@#t looks sweet! I second your idea of making the opening bigger too. Keep us posted brother.

Looks freaking awesome man! We must go to a meet in Denver someday haha.
Ya the opening definitely needs to be bigger!
ya i think it will look just fine once its painted!
Damn u and ruining everything for me... Lol. But in all seriousness... No it doesnt!
get something with a frame first!
there is a big show up near loveland this summer called scrapin the rockies or something like that that imma try to make it up for but im not sure yet! There needs to be lots of new progress on the truck before i bring it out of the garage!
It's only because you love me 
the thing fits nice I'm sure it will be real nice I just want to see someone cars-a-fy this thing now lol,

2.5" aluminum intercooler piping kit from Votionspeed.com
loving the shirt Greyson! thanks buddy!
i have also been looking into buying a spool gun for my welder so i can weld aluminum so i dont have to find someone to tig weld all my piping again... it would just be easier to tack it together to make sure eveything fits instead of fully welding it and bringing it home and it not fitting and having to cut it again.
theyre kinda expensive though, and i hear theyre really hard to use, but i might go talk to my welding supply company today and see what they have to say about them...

Wow I just noticed you put a quote in your profile from me 
How cute!!
Now where the hell are some more pictures of this truck! I wish I had welding skills/custom fab skills.. or even just a damn garage. Apartment life sucks!

loooong time ad no updates-- well my friends, the wait is over!
i have sold the rx7 and the b2200 is supposed to be gone sometime today!
i went to denver with a wad of cash yesterday and got some long awaited parts!
ill start the updates in order of how i got them, since i have kinda been holding out on u guys for one big update!
here we go...
this doesnt really have anything to do with my build, but in a way it does i guess.
i got a shed s i can get all of the unnecesary junk out of my garage and give myself more room to work...
all loaded up from the house i got it from. what a pain in the ass.
this is what we found underneath... thats gotta be healthy.
so ya gotta get the shed off of the trailer, and this shed is f***ing huge and there was no way to carry it by hand, and i needed it in the back yard, so i grabbed a crane from work to make life easier...
the looks we got from the neighbors and the amount of random cars that drove by was hilaious...
so i got the shed set in the back yard and started getting stuff out of the garage.
down to one truck and room to work now.
ordered a little part that any quality build needs...
tial BOV
then i ordered my aluminum spool gun so i can weld my intercooler piping together, but it hasnt arrived yet. still need to get a bottle of argon also... will get pics of that when it arrives!
so i was saying i went to denver yesterday...
i got a line on some parts off craigslist, so i texted the guy and we got some stuff figured out. this was on thursday. i decided that i couldnt take a chance on someone else getting this stuff, so i blasted up to denver yesterday with a bit of money to get some stuff i just couldnt pass up!
all the way to denver(8 hours round trip) for an s5 center iron and FD ignitors and an AEM ems u say? doesnt seem like a worthwhile trip u say?
stock port clean s5 center iron...
your still thinking that thats a long ways to drive for a standalone and a few other measly parts that couldve been shipped arent u?
well then...
34k mile 13b re from a 94 FD rx7.
the plan is to tear this engine apart since it was known to run ad compression checked great! the s5 center iron will go on the re engine so i can use the mounts i had fabbed up for the engine thats in the truck. then it will be polished out and painted and then assembled and wired up!
just need to get a few other things and then start building my harness and all that fun stuff.
since i have room in the garage now, i will be pulling the cab foir final welding and also workin on the new bed and getting everything buttoned up. looks like i might actually be close to firing this thing up before the end of summer if all goes well!
keep ur fingers crossed!!!

I wish I had a crane. Don't what the hell I would use it for though.
i has two fuking cranes, one for lifting the other one... like a fukin boss
nice EMS! and good pick up on the spare 13b. also, that s5 center looks like its in really good shape.
Very nice update Chris, looks like its coming together now, totally worth that trip.
Cant wait to see you getting after it again Chris. It was good talking to ya too brother. I'll be tuned in for more updates
Finally an update!!! Using the crane was a super badass idea man!
An engine at last.. now is when things get even more interesting :
Wish we were neighbors, I'd love to watch this progress up close in person.
