Flames are gratuitous grinder fun, but you never know what may show up during paint. ![]()

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
Nice job!! Are you going to weld the studs in for the steps for a totally smooth look? Flames rock!!!

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
Si, knock the heads off the carriage bolts, then weld them into the top plate. That'll allow me to unbolt from the braces if I ever need to remove the bed.

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
License plate pocket. I wanted it to be as tight as possible around the license, rather than the typical squared-corner. It's pretty shallow, and will have a high-brightness white LED on the top to cover the required lighting.

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
A few more pics. Still having lots of trouble getting these back corners right. While it'd be nice to do a huge roll on them, it's not completely feasible because of the taillight mounting requirements. So I'm trying to get some major curvature on the corner area to mimic the like corner of the step fender. Time for the sandbag and mallet

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
This shows a rough representation of the taillights location. Since they're so low (as is the license box), it's not a simple matter to just roll the bottom edge around.

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
If you had an extra set of rear fenders, you could cut the corners off of them and use to make the edge.

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
![]() Are you stuck on having them that low? I think they look good there or centered. Either way. Nice work as usual ![]() Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 04-08-2007 at 02:21 PM. |

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
I could move the lights up, but the plate really won't fit anywhere else and still look right. If I moved the lights up, I could do a long bend up on the sides of the tail end, but I don't want it looking like this...

Agreed. Fenders or cab corners...

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
mini-progress... got the corners rounded out a bit more to my liking. I suppose I could pontificate this forever. Or... bust out the Bondo

Re: Idea on cleaning up the back end...
It's not as truck related as stanchions.... but I give him an A for still frequently using that public school education
![]() XXL, the lines look to be identical to the fender corners which makes a huge difference. Nice vision as always!

Note: The camera trickery is driving me nuts. It is NOT as flat as these pics makes it look.
