Not much of an update but I got some self holding nuts I was missing for the rear crossbar in the mail. So I mounted that up.

Re: Project blue affair
 

Also made a panel to start shaving the firewall. It's my first panel I've made using the bead roller. ( don't mind the toaster :) )

Re: Project blue affair
 

Only letting me post one pic at a time

Re: Project blue affair

Re: Project blue affair
 

Awesome! I'll be following yours as well.
You are going to love the wheel even more in person, the concave makes them look sick.

Re: Project blue affair
 

Those wheels and brakes are sick. Looking forward to more progress.

Re: Project blue affair
 

everything looks awesome!

Re: Project blue affair

Re: Project blue affair
 

Thanks man! your build is looking good!

Re: Project blue affair
 

Appreciate it man! your truck is looking sweet! cant wait for this one to start looking like a truck again

Re: Project blue affair
 

So you can see how in the first pic the gas tank mounts don't extend all the way over the rails and I really didn't want to drill a hole so off center in the frame in order to still get a good bite on the aluminum. So I drew up some tank mounts that I'm going to weld inside the rails. I got one welded in before I had to go to work and I plan on finishing the other three once I'm off late tonight.
