Well I finally got to do some work on the truck and now I can post the pics. All the extra sheet metal for the front of the truck is ready to paint so maybe sunday have some after shots.Also got my rallies painted just need trim rings and caps.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Todays work.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thanks for covering up my car bud.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Got the grill hung and glove box door installed and decided to modify the center console so it goes up to the dash and down to the floor. I havent decided what I want to do with the center. Carpet or aluminum sheeting on sides and carpet top or just mold and paint it....IDEAS?

Re: MY build thread...
 

i say vinyl or leather in the sides to match seats and sheet metal the center paint to match the dash

Re: MY build thread...
 

I think that's the way I'm going to go. Wrap the entire thing then do accent panels on the top.
On a build note I ordered the rear brake hose I needed to finish my brakes to get it mobile today so hopefully when it's time to move it I won't have to push the tank!!! If it runs when I do move it you guys will see a video of it!

Re: MY build thread...
 

This could be the last post for a while guys. With everything in todays world going up except for my wages things are getting kinda tight so I have to stop spending on the truck and get some stuff paid down. Hopefully something changes pretty quick....Ill still be on just no updates unless someone wants to fund my project...:banghead:

Re: MY build thread...
 

Same here. I have 3 project that I need someone to fund,:lol: Maybe we'll get lucky.;) Till then I think I'll be looking for another yob.:ito: or 2

Re: MY build thread...
 

Yea it sucks right now. Part of it is my fixed mortgage keeps going up because insurance keeps going up because building material keeps going up because ...... Well you get the idea! Something has to change and it isn't my spending!!!

Had a buisy weekend out at the spring nationals helping my uncle win his first national event in supercomp and get a cool trophy. I'll try to get pics up this week then it's mud and sand, repeat!!!

Re: MY build thread...
 

Here is the fun Ive been having lately...

Re: MY build thread...
 

Man I hate sanding body filler. I'm not that good at it so it takes me a few tries to get it good for primer but when it's 90 degrees and everything you sand sticks too you I'm almost ready to drop it of at a shop and pay to have it done!!!!

Re: MY build thread...
 

It's not the best job to do too a truck. Blocking does suck. I do it because others don't have to. ;) Don't give up. It's a lot of work. Keep digging.

Re: MY build thread...
 

Thanks Alan I should've just replaced the quarter panel on the drivers side also but live and learn I guess. Just more elbow grease required...

Re: MY build thread...
 

It fun turning mud into dust, huh.:lol: Alan makes it look so easy. I've been working on my bed sides for a year.:lol: Off and on. More off than on, because anything that I can do besides body work I do instead.;) Just like anything else though the more you do it the easier it gets.;) You'll get it.;) and your arms will get ripped.:lol:

Re: MY build thread...
 

Well I'm kinda in a situation there cause it's bodywork or wiring.... I hate both so a friend of mine offered to help with that so two birds with one stone. I still need taillights also and haven't made up my mind yet there.
