Nice handles, I saw them once before. Very slick

RustenPaines · 12-21-2011, 07:16 AM

A couple slow months. But things seem to be cooken now. The inner fenders are planned out and the passenger side is almost done. Will get some pictures posted up in the next few days.

RustenPaines · 12-29-2011, 08:00 PM

Fenders are roughed out. The front outer fenders have been boxed in on the lip. The radiator support will be chopped and leveled with inner fenders and a Radiator cover will be installed.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-29-2011, 10:34 PM

In my eye tge Chicanery is too retro? New age - perhaps that is what I'm trying to say.

The Chicanery is a nice looking wheel, I could see that working.

Tight race! Medusa and The Big Block are coming out as the leaders.

Stopped by the shop yesterday. Inner fenders are in some tweaking still has to be done. Sounds like the rest of the engine bay will be finished before moving on to the interior.

Pics coming

The Medusa

Inner cut out for steering

Inner cut out for radiator and water hose

LOL, this isnt a show truck! LMAO!

RustenPaines · 02-10-2012, 10:01 PM

The shop owner will not be happy Im posting this but hey. Its that cool. Instrument cluster dash mount made from a glove box. Yes that is not new but I have yet seen this design. I live in a cave so it does not surprise me.

RustenPaines · 02-13-2012, 08:29 PM

Received a call from Lonnie at Carolina Kustoms this morning. There was an issue with the rear bumper fitment. I believe earlier I stated they would be working from the front to the rear. The front fenders had to be sent out for blasting. So they moved on to the next area. Looks like chevy itus hit the shop, this is one of two trucks now owned by the crew working there.

This how it looked today

The plan is to cut aand section the lower quarter down to extend the body line to the bottom of the bumper. this is a mock up, 2" will be added on the bumper side. The bumper will be narrowed .5" on each side and a lip will be added to the inside edge. A pocket will be cut into the quarter panel like a 68 chevelle or this ford bumper sitting at work.

Forgot to mention the hole bumper will be moved forward 1.5"s. We had considered sectioning the rear bumper top to bottom but due to cost and difference in bumper sizes front and rear I like this option better.

RustenPaines · 02-13-2012, 08:46 PM

The valence was discussed again. The wipers and valence vents will be removed. A cowl will be installed on the valence up to the front window. Both the back edges of the hood cowl and valence cowl will have the same angle. My big and bulky 69.

VA72C10 · 01-15-2012, 08:17 PM

mooseknuckles · 01-15-2012, 08:23 PM

They are unique, The credit for the build at this time goes to Carolina Kustoms in Portland Oregon. I have been too busy. My bussiness has grown 35% this year and now my wife and I are expecting a little girl in May. Many men can do it but not me. Ill just kick up my feet (Ha Ha - Not ) and let someone else implement my ideas. I have to give the shop credit. They have done a great job!

JRE · 01-15-2012, 10:19 PM

Looking good. does the shop have a web site I can check out. I'm in the same boat. Been super busy working and need to get some work done on my truck.

Here you go, they are very affordable and seemed competent. Since hiring them they have gone above and beyond what I had expected.
