Work on the besides is underway and the front tires have been mounted. Work to the front fenders coming up next. Also bought the Amd wider rear wheel tubs to clear the rear tires.

Been working on the truck here and there. Still working on the bedsides. About finished up with them. I raised the tubs and welded in new nuts. Also made “inner” tubs which will be getting welded into the bedsides next.

Also made some progress on the rear brakes. Ended up having to use rear rotors from a hellcat because they have more of an offset which allowed more caliper to wheel clearance. The diameter and thickness is the same as the camaro so no issues with the caliper. Did some work to the axles including redrilling them and pressing in longer studs. Also had to redrill the rotors. I 3d printed some mock-up brackets for the calipers and got them pretty much spot on. Just need to order some material to get them made.

Rear caliper brackets are done.

I now can relate to the feeling of being in body shop jail. Lol except it’s my own jail. Slowly picking away at the body work. The dash is finally in and I ended up getting new fenders and hood to hopefully make the body work go faster. The fenders fit good after a little work. The hood will take a little more work. The used front clip had some issues that I am not skilled enough to fix.

Making progress!! Keep it up!

Still picking away at the body work lol. The AMD fenders and hood fit absolutely terrible.
