I'm definitely jealous.

Delmo · 03-19-2011, 07:52 PM

You bet. I've got some on the way actually.

JNJchev77 · 03-19-2011, 08:53 PM

Are those smoothies chrome or polished? Before you paint them....

I've been dying to try a differnet set of caps but everyone wants the 56 it seems. I have another set of wheels here, maybe I'll play around with something a bit bigger for a cap.

i have a different idea in mind for caps that i'd like to use on my future chop top build, so please don't steal my plans

....and if i had the cash, i'd just go ahead & have you make them for me, even though they'd probably be years in advance, lol

Polished. It's kinda freeing to sand down a nice polished surface.LOL

JNJchev77 · 03-20-2011, 08:12 PM

LOL, I was thinking it could be extremely spiritual!

I was asking because I have a set of smoothies I got from a buddy, need to match the rears and wasn't sure if I had chrome or polished..... you do some great work, in a short amount of time!!!

coulter · 03-21-2011, 08:01 AM

jimmydean · 03-21-2011, 07:08 PM

Are you done with a new video yet? Damn it looks good in black.

Delmo · 03-21-2011, 10:30 PM

LOL I should do a video of this thing. Hmmmmm.

So a bit of progress, did the bed wood and started on the wheel tubs. I took a different approach this time because I wanted to use all the original wood. The last one I shortened the entire tub to keep as much of the original metal as possible seeing as the short side wood pieces were shot and needed replaced anyway. But this one I wanted to keep the same overall footprint so I left the bottom alone and took 2.5 out of the sides. This left an 8 inch gap at the top. I bent some sheet metal over my knee and stuck it in there. Don't look to close, it aint perfect.

This is freaking amazing! I love the stance and wheels. I really like what you do with the bed floor as well. I might have to reconsider my build.

daverod · 03-22-2011, 12:02 AM

Just because your so good at it.

Pssst · 03-22-2011, 12:49 AM

Build looks great! The bed looks awesome!

PBFAB.COM · 03-22-2011, 01:27 AM

Kind of cool that the profile of your knee fits the contour of a 60-66 inner wheel tub so nicely!

Delmo · 03-22-2011, 01:52 AM

Ya I'm one of the lucky ones.

64shortc10 · 03-22-2011, 07:46 AM

Looks KILLER Delmo! Now bring it up to my house and exchange for the one in my garage!
