Coming along nicely.

More pics from the last few days. The last 3 evenings was working on getting the bed board and strips all lined up and bolted down. Installed clear LED at the back of the box tops, I'll used those as backup lights. Finished brake lines too.

Nice progress man. I can hardly wait to see the entire body mounted on that lowered chassis. It's going to be a killer street machine

Yes, coming along very well. Great choice of the green also.

Oh, how I crave to be at the paint stage.

You have done an awesome job on this truck. Love seeing trucks come together like this. Gives me motivation.

Thanks man, i appreciate the good words.

Well today was an other evening of working on the truck until 1 in the morning. Tailgate is install with new SS link kit. It will go on the frame after we put the back window in. Second fenders is on, starting to look very cool. Anyone know a trick to remove scuff marks on glass , PO had something rubbing on the back window, it left real bad scuff marks.

Where did you get your SS link kit from for the tailgate? Thanks in advance. Your Bed/Truck looks great I love the color. Keep up the great work.

i swear the po of my truk used beer cans to scrape ice off the back window
that would go along with bolting a ladder rack to the cowl too

It's really coming together nicely bud. I bet you're like a kid at Christmas, waiting to see it back in 1 piece. It's sure going to turn some heads

That's for sure, today i'm installing the front bumper/ grill, can't wait to see that chrome bumper installed .

dubie · 05-29-2013, 09:30 AM

it'll probably give the truck a lot more dimension by bringing everything closer to the ground

Stickman · 05-29-2013, 09:42 AM

Really nice truck, the Green is awesome.

It's funny you say that Jean-Marc, because I was going to ask you to do that once the bumper was on hahahaha.
