Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

A small update.
Rear is all done.
All airlines and power wire for compressor done.
Tank, compressor, solinoid all done.

Headed to do front Aarm swap, bags and final 2 airlines this week.

We had a lull in action, so we did interior, as best we could. We decided white guts with alittle blue metallic on dash. Turned out ok.

And what do ya do when someone down the line hacked up radio area of dash..? I stuffed my gauges in there.
And to keep switches in same area, I took face off ashtray and put switches in the plate.
Looks ok I guess..

We have 3 weeks and 2 days left in my self-imposed deadline....We'll see.:lol:

Ignore the stock black steering wheel. Its just there to roll truck around. Its not staying.

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

Are those guages fur-lined?

BTW I really like the two tone paint job on the dash, really makes the contours of it pop out!

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

Interior is looking great!

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

:lol:
Yep!
But may change to blue fur.
I bought both. The white looks dirty against the bright white paint, and its new. Just gonna get worse.
I'll try the blue and see how it looks.

The dash was hacked pretty good. So this was easy solution that didnt involve welding.

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

Looking awesome!

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

That is too funny.... just goes to show you never know what someone is going to do with one of these trucks!

Ok I am in now to see what the heck you do next !!

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

Well...front airride is done..so now all bag stuff is done.
It sets ok for just 2" stepped Aarms.
And the bag sets on a 6" bag plate welded to lwr Aarm.

Awesome stuff, all of it! My son helps me too and he's only six. Good times!:metal:

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

You said you want to take it to a local swapmeet. I'm assuming you're talking about Canfield? Are you taking it to sell it or just taking it? I will most likely be there Saturday morning.

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

Yeah, Canfield
Im not taking it to sell, but.......................

If someone really wants it more than I do....;)

:lol:

We always go and hang out by my buddys big tent. He sells all the Mooneyes and So-cal stuff.

Plus theres a cruise about 10 minutes away on Sat nights. So its a all day event.

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

nice start and it's comming along great.

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..
 

Some of my socks are showing holes that line up with burn scars on my ankle.... coincidence?
I think not.


LOL

And yeah, mine are not white any more either....
No reason to sacrifice perfectly good sandals ..... of course there is the whole frost bite issue up here too.

:waah:
