Attachment 1524710 I'm finishing up the recessed marker lights I don't have an extra Amber lens so red it is!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Attachment 1524750 I'm a fan of the 67-68 moldings and since this truck was a base model I had to make provisions! I have a good set of mock up moldings.

Re: 68c10/c6
 

nice work on the hood...:metal:

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Thanks!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

The moldings will set off the truck really well.

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Thanks Doug I thought the same thing! Some trucks look good with out moldings I myself think the 67-68 moldings look really good they break up the side of the truck! Ron

Re: 68c10/c6
 

I finishing up some details on the bed... I took a header panel and modified it to fill in the inside of the tailgate area!Attachment 1526970

Re: 68c10/c6
 

I thought I'd modify the front bumper so we filled the bolt holes and narrowed it 3/4" on each side! Attachment 1527209

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Fantastic work! You should have been on the original design team!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

was that pretty straight forward? Just cut out a section and did everything line right back up?

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Thanks jjzepplin I've always thought that these trucks just needed a little tweaking haha! Rod Run take a piece of 3/4 tape run it straight up from top to bottom about 1 inch to the outside of the outermost bolt hole and and cut along the outside of each side of the tape and the pieces will line up perfectly for welding! Ron

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Thanks. I was always thinking it might, but I just wasn't 100% sure.

Right after I finish shaving my roof rails, that will be next. Actually, I probably do it while working on my rails, because that crap gets tedious

Re: 68c10/c6
 

I hear you bud hang in there you'll be stocked when your done!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Attachment 1571059its been a while so I wanted to share a picture of my two 68's the Chevys getting tore apart for body work and the GMC we shortened and it'll stay patina!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Back to work on the Corvette truck! I finished the heat shield for the torque tube the frame is now done!Attachment 1600091

Re: 68c10/c6
 

I started work on the front bumper!Attachment 1600671

Re: 68c10/c6
 

I like where your going with the bumper! I don't like the raised plate mount area much myself. I might consider radiusing the bottom of the center opening to make it more resemble the grill openings maybe? Just a thought.

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Thanks for the input Mike we did start with a cutout like the grill but after multiple opinions we opted to shape it like the radius at the top of the fenders I still need to fill it in it's not done that's just a cut opening the opening will reduce once that's done!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Bumper progress today!Attachment 1600960

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Yeah that bumper has moved way into very cool territory. Nice look and execution.

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Thanks Doug, two more weeks and the fab work is done on this then off to blast and powder prime! We're going to put it in the Grand National Roadster show here next month as under construction! -Ron

Re: 68c10/c6
 

every once in a while a truck just gets at me, and this truck is just bad arse!!! beautiful job so far!!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

You ok if "steal" your bumper mod? Really like the look of it. What finish are you thinking of?

Re: 68c10/c6
 

No! Thanks for the compliment... I'll be painting mine to match the rest of the trim & wheels! I've decided on a more aggressive look for this truck!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Now that the body works done on the bed I did some final wood fitment!Attachment 1601230

Re: 68c10/c6
 

I was stuck on how to finish off the rear off the truck so I decided to give it a defuser look! I just made this lower separation trim i'll paint the inside of it Matte Attachment 1602046black

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Re: 68c10/c6
 

Bad AZZ! :metal:

Re: 68c10/c6
 

The rear looks good. How did you make the lower separation trim?

Re: 68c10/c6
 

I bought some 5/8 wide 1/4 round aluminum strips and bent them using a pulley and a 4" break! The cool thing is you can chrome it or powder coat it in my case I'm going to powder coat all the trim to match!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

That rear end will look good when you're done with it! Love what you've done with the front end!

Re: 68c10/c6
 

This is a good looking build, I love some of the features you've added. I'll follow along from here on.

Re: 68c10/c6
