Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..

Just a minor update.
We needed to drill the holes in the frame for the upper bag bolts and air fitting, so I let my son use my monster Milwakee drill for first time.
Im a big guy. 6'1 340+ and Ive had this drill twist me into a pretzel.
So I was alittle concerned.

And consider we use turned down lathe bits in that drill.... It doesnt take much for that drill and 1-1/8th bits to do damage.

He did great. I kept cutting oil on the bits, and he drilled all 4 bolt holes and both big fitting holes in 16 minutes!..



So bage are in and bolted up.

That was enough for today...

Oh, and he had time to paint a diecast truck he's building too. Its mocked up in this pic.

Love that kid

Re: Rattle Can Kustom!..A 12 week build..Can we do it..

A small update.
Rear is all done.
All airlines and power wire for compressor done.
Tank, compressor, solinoid all done.

Headed to do front Aarm swap, bags and final 2 airlines this week.

We had a lull in action, so we did interior, as best we could. We decided white guts with alittle blue metallic on dash. Turned out ok.

And what do ya do when someone down the line hacked up radio area of dash..? I stuffed my gauges in there.
And to keep switches in same area, I took face off ashtray and put switches in the plate.
Looks ok I guess..

We have 3 weeks and 2 days left in my self-imposed deadline....We'll see.

Ignore the stock black steering wheel. Its just there to roll truck around. Its not staying.

Are those guages fur-lined?

BTW I really like the two tone paint job on the dash, really makes the contours of it pop out!

You said you want to take it to a local swapmeet. I'm assuming you're talking about Canfield? Are you taking it to sell it or just taking it? I will most likely be there Saturday morning.

Im not taking it to sell, but.......................

If someone really wants it more than I do....



We always go and hang out by my buddys big tent. He sells all the Mooneyes and So-cal stuff.
