Looks fantastic!

What is your procedure for finishing those welds to get it that smooth?

Panelman55 · 01-03-2011, 11:27 PM

Are you using a mig or a tig? Those are some slick welds. This is a good looking project!!! Keep up the good work.

3" angle grinder with a 50 grit disc followed by 80 grit followed by a brown scotchbrite disc finished with 80 grit on a DA. Panel55 everything you see on the truck is mig. Thanks

If I can ask .... I see your a fan of matching up panels with sheetmetal screws ... do you feel Clecoes don't do the job or ... ?

You've got a kick ass ride going on.

For me its faster to use sheet metal screws most of the time. Thanks

Nice work

Tuned55 · 01-18-2011, 01:02 PM

Real Nice work Dewayne. Makes mine look shabby

Nsanehotrodz · 01-18-2011, 08:08 PM

Thanks guys, Bruce hows the truck coming along? You've been slacking on the pics

I rearranged the shop today. Finished most of the cab and built another cab dolly for this truck, I'll have more pics Friday. We had to make room for one more project

I'll post a few picks right now. Good to hear your bringing in another project!

Dan Bowles · 01-18-2011, 10:18 PM

DeWayne, thanks for putting this up and showing your step by step. I have seen it here for a while but didn't look because too many builds with Nsane in the name have screamed insane due to no skills and horrible builds. I'm glad I looked today. Keep up the great work!

troy54gmc · 01-19-2011, 01:14 AM

I'll post pics tomorrow. DeWayne

Panelman55 · 01-20-2011, 10:19 PM

I think part of it is keeping every so clean and shinny!!! Clean metal welds best!

Nsanehotrodz · 01-21-2011, 09:13 PM

A little more progress... Today I finished the driver side cowl, the cab braces, and fitted the pedal assembly. DeWayne

RCbowtie69 · 01-21-2011, 11:52 PM

nice progress,keep up the work it's going to pay off in long run.

**N2TRUX** · 01-22-2011, 01:33 AM

Daang D! You keep practicing and your going to get pretty good at that metal working stuff...

72Mountaineer · 01-22-2011, 11:22 AM

How about some pics of your recessed brake system? Whose parts are you using to attain such a nice looking (and located) brake pedal? I think its the trick kind of things like this that set people's trucks from one another. Thanks and what a great build!

oldschool53_BBC · 01-25-2011, 07:53 PM

Awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nsanehotrodz · 01-25-2011, 08:26 PM

Thanks guys, here are some pics of the pedal install, it should be finished this week. The pedals are from a 2004 Silverado. DeWayne

Troy54GMC this is the only pic I have of the dolly it is 42"X42" and about 12" tall with 3" wheels

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-25-2011, 10:52 PM

Once again, great metal working! It looks great!

Nsanehotrodz · 01-28-2011, 10:50 PM

I really need a better camera

The cab is mostly finished time for epoxy!
