Sorry for the slow updates. The LST crunch is in full swing. Chris wrapped up his box to house the Ride Tech Ride Pro X processor. He sanded it smooth, then I added a layer of under coat for a nice textured finish. Once cured, we sprayed it with vinyl dye to match the interior.

Very nicely done! Too bad it will be hidden under the seat as it really looks good. While it might be obvious, I am missing it....why have the connector to the control module on the outside? Maybe for diagnostics access with the seat in place?
I enjoy following builds like this...sets my personal build quality bar higher. |
Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Action shot of Chris actually working on the truck. He did a nice job on the box too. I like how you color matched it to the interior.
Do you have a raft lined up to get Elwood over to LST? Looks like its going to be a wet one this year. Owen and I are headed down after lunch tomorrow in Henry. The weather kept us from getting all the interior parts color match as was our goal, but we are coming down anyway. Basically got most of the parts from the dash up color changed and put back in. Door panels and kick panels are not done, but will be once the rain and high humidity stop... |

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
So where’s the final pics at LST? Did you get the wheels and wood grain done?
|
Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
I dig it! The size/BS on the wheels really fills the wells out nicely.

I wish I could go back and show you a bunch of great pics from the last week. unfortunately there arent many. I got up early and worked a bit every day. I loaded my truck with supplies and put in a 10-12 hour day at work, then came home and put in several shop hours. I ran on 4 hours sleep till the last three nights and got almost no sleep then.
I expect no sympathy as these were self inflicted wounds. In order to honor my commitment to vendors on Scarlett, I had to compromise my timeline for Elwood. I knew this going in, and have no regrets. My only concern is I have very few pics to share. Lets take a look at those that I do have. Heres the dash coming together thanks to Brothers Truck parts. A new bezel covers the Resto Mod Air digital controller. The steering wheel was updated by American Racing to match the wheels. I color matched the leather grip to the seat. |

Prior to this i had pulled all of the interior plastic and and stripped it clean. It was in excellent condition so I simply scuffed it and dyed it to match. My door panels were good, but the arm rest pads were coming apart. Fortunately Brothers Truck parts had exactly what I needed. they supplied me with new arm rest pads, and long with carpeted lower door panels to match the beautiful carpet.
I'm not sure why the color looks washed out. It is very red. |
Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Looks amazing! Any info, or tips on the woodgrain install? I love the woodgrain!

Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Do you plan to redo the interior woodgrain to match the outside?
