Well she's coming together nicely now-been a bunch of progress since last post!
mag tunnel side in final mockup and extrusion fitted and welded up...
pto tunnel side in final mockup and extrusion fitted and welded...
finishing up the drop and roll on the pto side...
its a tight fit...but it fits!
fitting the tail cap/center section for the first time...this is a sweet part that will be available separately from the tunnel sides-we've incorporated more room for the hoses of our auxillary u-coolers and molded in a nice led tail light housing...
got the silencer all fabbed up from some leftovers laying around the shop and now the exhaust is all done...waiting for it to get back from the coater currently...
meanwhile...got the tunnel sides off and cleaned up for installation-here's how they look when they're not covered in grinding dust and my ink pen scribblings...
another shot with our traction/skid frame mount plates...
got all the tunnel components back from the powder coater in record time and went to work riveting and gluing this chassis together finally...
and when the adhesive set, installed the footrests, side extrusions and the chaincase...
got my hands on a Pro RMK nose bucket before they were available through the dealers...can't say from who but he knows who he is and needs to know that I owe him one!
went to work finishing up the throttle body mods for the turbo-installed HM Turbos billet rings to keep the i/c boots on and also their stainless throttle body retaining brackets. After that was complete we swung the motor in again and started mounting the air to liquid intercooler...
we used HM turbos IQ intercooler and adapted it to the Pro chassis-I like the way it fits this chassis even better than the IQ-fabbed up a new bracket for the pto side to bolt to the hoop...
and then a mag side bracket to fasten to the Pro upper framework...
and added a clamp to the back to hold the water pump securely...
That just leaves the charge tube to fab up but no can do till the exhaust is back from the coaters on Monday...so we assembled the nose bucket and our 4130 bumper along with the front suspension-all fresh out of powdercoat...also mocked up the seat and tank and installed the Pto side fender-now you can really see the new profile of this sled with the new tunnel sides-she's looking good!
the Pro hood looks wicked when gutted...kinda reminds me of a crocodile for some reason! We'll be pulling air for the turbo from the light pod and the existing brake cooling duct on the side so we'll be fabbing up a plenum to close off the entire underside of the light/guage pod and the outlet will sit down on the turbo inlet when the hood is installed.
I'll be mounting the T.S./Ars skid tomorrow and finishing up some of the hose plumbing etc while I wait on the last couple components. She'll be getting a killer new wrap soon also.
Well, you likey?

ROJECT PRO RMK:: LOTS OF PHOTOS!! (PART 2)
I'm sticking with the Rush tank-I like how it carries all the fuel forward and it works very well with the post location-I fabbed up the tank and seat supports over the weekend and that design also leaves a ton of room for a custom underseat/undertank storage bag.
will get more up soon...
