Thanks.
It has a desirable flop to it in light.It gets really blue outdoors and a little purple in lower light.

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 
man! this ting looks sweet!! there are two thing you did that i was planing but didnt know how to pull it off yet, the extended hood, does the extensin hit with stock hinges? if so, wha did you do to make it work? and how was the shaved mirror accomplished? i like how you got the line in there and when i was looking at mine today i was wondering how to make it work with the weather stripping.

Inverter 01-30-2011 09:16 PM

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 
Thanks,
The hood will work w/stock pivot points,you just have to not follow the radius of the glass too closely. Give it some room but follow the shape.Since the stock hoods are nowhere near the correct shape to just extend back using the existing radius,there is quite a bit of template work to do.

The mirror block offs are done like any other except you inset the plate a little to create a line to match the upper body line,then blend them together. The mouldings will have to be trimmed to fit and probably glued in place,since they no longer slide behind the mirror.

Thanks for the word.

It was actually an accident. Years ago I had a bodyshop spray it satin black.When I went to pick it up,they had just sprayed it w/black primer..I said WTF?,out loud,.I needed the truck so I said just scuff n spray it w/some sealer so it looks satin. Im not sure what they did but you can see its preety close to satin black.
I would go w/a single stage satin black like HRF,as mentioned.

Grate build, just sat in the office for an hour reading threw it. Your truck looks grate, love the color. I was wondering how you are going to finish off the dash or if your going to leave it open? I saw you had some templates made up in one of the pics but there wasn't anything after that.

Inverter 02-28-2011 12:45 AM

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 
I thought I had this pic somewhere in the thread but I forget.
I will have some wedge shaped covers over the top of the two pod areas made w/the same material,10 gauge aluminum.

Yeah you do have that pic up. I was asking about the wedge shaped covers, that's going to look way cool. Different from the normal glass dashes.

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
 
Finally got this thing home. These are all the pics I could get.Its still a roller so I cant move it around. Overall turned out well,disappointed in some of the fitment and rough edges but I was tired of getting labor bills for little to no progress. On a scale,,I'd say its an 8.

Feels good to have it home where I know its safe.Thanks for lookin.
