Re: Daverods project 66
 

I like the burnt orange truckas. But that white flamed slong bed is sweet.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Post it over in the photoshop section, I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Got me some hinges today. Had to bribe him for the instructions.:uhmk: I'm thinking about something like this for between the seats. Maybe blend it into the firewall better. Found my bumper brackets for my rear bumper. Thanks Spud I forgot you gave me some they where still in the old ladies truck. Lots to do this weekend.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

the basic shape of the console is .... ok , i would resess the center a bit and make the edge of the dash extend towart the seats it would make it look more factorie made and you dont have to rip out the whole console to get inside it (the resessed part can be screwed on top ) makes it eazier to extend it to the firewhall and cover too (you prolly cant shove the consolle under the dash if its one piece )

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Should I do it out of fiberglass? Good ideas.:metal: I'm thinking I can put my air bag switches there and the airpressure stuff. I'm hoping it will make my dash tie in alittle more. I still need to figure out how to round the corners like Allans. Maybe split a 1" pipe in half and wrap the outside edge in that?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

you could make the sides out of mdf it makes less mess can be rounded simple by a router and isnt as smelly you could cover that in carpet (makes closing gaps eazier ) or leather , i would make the top in sheetmetal if only to provide a grounding for the switches and stuff , you can either spraypaint it or cover the top in thin wood depending on youre dash covering

to round the metal edges i think pipe would work . i think i would start with a frame in pipe or roundbar if weight isnt a concern and cover that with plate

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Split a pipe in half and framed my dash. Just what I wanted,worked great. I need to get some bucket seats so I can figure out my center console.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

You guys with the 59/60 dashes have it all wrong. You installed them backwards. :haha: :haha: Check out this one.

BTW, Nice job Dave

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Put my rear bumper on. Much better. What was I thinking, Roll pan? Put up a nice fire starter. Now for the hinges.:smoke::smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looks good with the pan behind the bumper.!!!:metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

So easy even a cavemam could do it.:uhmk: After a month still no parts from Brothers. I'm removing them from my favorites.:m2::buh: Somthing about lost,tracking,china. :blah::blah::blah:Now I need a chrome front bumper. When does it end.:smoke::confused:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looks good that way Dave :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Strodder thanks Trash.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I have been up playing in the snow and took these for you Dave , Winter is coming !! Get your sled running.
I left the Elk up there, and we saw more wolves than bulls.

Getting caught back up on your build - It is looking good!!
Too bad about Brothers losing your stuff, They have always shipped mine as promised although I have been a little disappointed in some of the reproduction quality, and tolerances.
I guess metric is the standard in China

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I fired them up today. I've held off from buying a new sled one more year.:metal: It's harder every year. Just more money I can put in my truck. Washed about an 1/2 inch of dust off. Nice of you to leave the elk in the mountains we'll get them next year.:uhmk: Walked about 2 feet from, a wolf last year and did'nt even see it till it jumped up and took off.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I noticed it was the one thing your garage did'nt have so I had to have it.:lol: Think I'll stay in this house for awhile so I better make it more like mine. Still looking for a nice poster like yours for the door.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

They call it a "MAN CAVE" :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

That's what I call my theater room. Old one, new one.:metal: Lots of xbox going on in there. Along with other stuff and stuff.:smoke::lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Post some pictures. Don't keep us in the dark :uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I was to fast for ya.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

WOW. Party at your house. :ennyd:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It's not really mine.:lol: I'm just renting it from the bank.:uhmk: It does have a thumping sound system.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Little fender work.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Ordered some air compressors Viair 480 dauls pac. Can't wait to see the guy in the brown truck. Almost bought the air engine thing. Still on the fence about what I want to do there?:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

You should count your lucky stars that Brothers didn't send you a bumper. They are thin asian made crap!
Find an old painted bumper and send it out to have it chromed..
WAY better quality

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:agree:

I am thinking of doing this myself.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

the air engine thing would be best the electric pump tend to draw a lot of current and there noizy (better mount them near the rear of the truck )

there some airco units that can be eazily converted lo the airpumps forgot the exact type and brand just remembered that they where mounted in some of the older volvo's , i had a website about the subject somewhere but i lost it in the wood of weblinks i got on this laptop

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Found a bunch of mouse beds in my rockers.:lol: Fixed both rockers and one cab corner on my 64.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Got my air compressors. :uhmk: I need some valves.:waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Nice job Dave :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Are you moving the gas tank on the 64 to the back? Rockers look good!!! Mine will get fixed next spring

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Now you just need to put a egg crate on the frame so you can drive it around.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

No Bubba I kinda like the bomb thing. Besides I just bought a new rubber neck thing for it.:uhmk: Last time I was messing withb the tank I needed to take it out you have to kinda tip it down to get it out. Anyway gas came out the fill hole and went averywhere. It was then I saw the wires going to the gas sender were caught on somthing and where shorting like crazy. I really can't believe I'm still here.:lol:

I'm sure if you where doing it you would have red taged it or somthing smart. er er

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I found some nice black seats on Craigs Just need to get some time to go see them. I think they where out of a dodge.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks Strodder. I can't wait to paint somthing. Did I say I hate sanding, the more I sand the more I find.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Christmas came early today. New bumper and side trim for the 64. Got the stuff from Classic parts, came quick, bumper seems to be a nice one. The trim was packed in a tube, one piece had a couple dents, tube had no dents?:devil: Can't wait to get the buymper on.:smoke: oh ya I can't do that for awhile.:lol::mm: I mounted my air compressors. I was running them from a battery charger and it almost melted the cord? Phoned them about the trim, sending a new piece in 24 hours. Brothers needs to take lessons from these guys. Trim came with clips to mount them. I don't think they tell you that I ordered a clip set.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I love it.:metal: Wish it was lower.:waah: Makes me want a new grill. Does it ever end? I hope not.
