Looking good! It's amazing how much I think they look like engines with the belt system in place. I remember when I put mine on...I said to myself...now that looks like an engine! :D

I have been looking for a rear corner panel for behind the seats. I remember that Jason Vannatta with Vannatta Fabrication makes the ones I liked, with or without speakers. I have been buying some stuff from him before he really had the business going and not it is going great! He is really a good guy with some great fab. parts, so maybe jump over to his site and take a look at what he has.
Here are the panels. |

He does make some nice stuff.

question:
I am going to be running air bags. with that said, i want to place the tank and pump in the bed. So, i am trying to see if there is a way to temp. air up the bags? Maybe use like a bike tire valve or ? put air in each bag? run lines back to near the bed area and use these valves? I have no idea, any help? Ideas? |

Once you know your good there, it helps keep your scope for leak chasing to the remaining fittings. The 'T' set-up works good for adjusting the suspension during the build. I also have 'stands' built that are used under the frame rails so that if the air is purged from the system, the truck drops to 'ride height' & remains there. Mine are 4" tall @ the front cab mount; 5" @ the rears so just build the stands to the ride height designed for your application. |

May 3-7 my "Older Brother" and my very close friend are all going to vegas. Biden 100 day mark is April 30, so hopefully we are mask free!! On the truck front, i am doing the body work on the cab so it can go to primer and final body work then to paint.... finally. I will build a spray booth in my shop with plastic drapes, filters and box fan. Never done this but 1st for everything. I was planning to do plastic on the floor, but any recommendations from anyone on the booth idea(s)? |

I like to lay down enough paint, that when I finish sanding out all the defects, I still have paint.

Also, so i want to block out as much if not all the water going into the cowl panel, so i bought the no vent panel, not bad honestly.

Really nice progress.
As for painting, not done a complete car (or truck) but done firewalls and the odd panel. Only tips I can give you are. Cover everything you don’t want paint on Sweep the floor. Wet it down and sweep it again. Do a “dry run”. Hard to explain but practice how you are going to paint before putting any paint in the gun. Wear the right protective equipment for the paint you are using. Judging by the rest of the truck you will do fine. P. :D |
