This thing is over the top. Those hood hinges look like sculpture, I'd hate to cover them up by putting a hood on them.

Thanks! I'm not sure how I got started down THAT road but you all know once you start down it, there's no turning back, hell, ya can't even find a place to pull over! :lol: Those hinges are one of the things I paid for and after getting them, knew why they cost so much, but loved them. As for the hood, it will complement them, I hope.

dear friends,

thank you for your loyal support over the years. we just could not hold on long enough to get thru this rough stretch of road. We are out of business effective 11/04/2009. someone will purchase some of the molds and continue to produce a few of the many products that we use to make. Who that is and when they will be available is unknown even to us at this time.

Even when you know your in the same boat as many others (without a paddle, a rudder, a sail or a bucket) it still is not any easier.

Give them a call 530-828-9426 M-F 10-4 PM PST

I just called Roddoors and spoke with Blaine and I can confirm that he is open for business. He said that he's running on a smaller scale, down from 13 employees to just himself. He does have inventory left so give him a call.

Ah wow - it's GREAT to hear they are still operating- I guess he got my business then because the product I ordered from Chevy's of the 40's is a RodDoors product and I called for a shipping status today - was told they are being 'drop shipped from the manufacturer'.

He should update his website asap - I always planned on doing business with them but looked elsewhere after I saw the 'we had to shutdown' notice.

More than losing a source of parts, this was sad because it was yet another American small business that couldn't sustain in this economy as well as a valued supplier for unique, quality products for our trucks.

Do give them a call when your ready for interior!

New rear window is in, nice tint matches the sides, front windshield out, no rust on the lip, just some 50 year old Nevada dust. Wonder if its radioactive? Joy, Joy, Joy.

I finished the install of a rear view camera which required me to move around my license plate lights. I also finished installing a flip down license plate that I made.

Home from the paint shop. Now to do the interior and detail work.

I started fighting with a HVLP gun last saturday - sprayed/sanded down a fender 3 times - adjusted everything including paint mixture - couldn't shake the issues.

Pulled out old trusty, my $49.00 Lowes HP gun and hit both fenders and the underside of the hood with paint and clear today - look beautiful - HVLP just isn't for me I guess....

I am a few solid days of work away from putting the front back on the truck

Glad to say I drove my truck the last 2 days and tonight took it to Lil Anthony's car show for one last show off before I tear into it for a rebuild on the suspension on other lil pieces and additions
