Default New Bling for the Parallel Turbo Pulling Truck

Thunder Struck Bumpers built me 2 new custom bumpers for the pulling truck. The front one was built to hold the cummins engine craddle we use for weight.

They just showed up today and it was like Christmas here. I have been waiting to see these for a couple months now and I am so excited to finally have them. :redspotdance:









Maybe within the next month we can get this thing back together. We are still waiting on our custom traction bars and driveshaft hoops. We have also got the headers redone and they are currently getting ceramic coated and I still have to get the new injectors.

Seems like there is never enough time and money for everything.:doh:

It is pretty sweet. They usually make them in diamond plate material but I wanted the all smooth metal so that made this one to my request.

I am currently having shaft loops and traction bars built. I have no plans to take it out this year until I have all of this stuff done. So if it takes a little longer then so be it.

Here are the traction bars in progress as I type.





We are actually going to be making these to sale to the public. I already have 5-6 sets sold and this first set just came off the laser yesterday.

Man it has been hard finding time to get the pulling truck back together. With all the shop work that has been coming in we have been sheduled full about 2 weeks out for the past couple months and we still are. I finally just had to schedule a couple days of no shop work just so we could get the truck back together.

I think it looks pretty good with the new front end on it.



Had to modify the cummins weight bracket to fit the new bumper. Soon as I get done painting it I will post a pic of it mounted.
