Really nice! Look at that shine. The company you used must put out nicely refurbished oil field equipment.

They exceeded my expectations. They hand brushed paint into every seam...on top and underneath, caulked/sealed the open seam between the headache rack and bed, before spraying the first of a couple coats of an industrial polyurethane gloss black...and then clear-coated everything. Cost was very reasonable.

RockTonka who was the body shop? Always nice to have a local shop number who turns out that quality at reasonable prices.

RockTonka · 05-05-2015, 01:05 AM

Not a body shop...Freeman's sand blasting and paint, off of S.E.25th and I35.

My boy and I kinda got a wild hair tonight and popped some holes in the hood...we're digging it though!

**Advanced Design** · 05-05-2015, 07:51 AM

Cool....matches the theme of the build. Depending on body color, chrome trim rings would look good.

Kim57 · 05-05-2015, 08:24 AM

That looks real cool.
Kim

stersam · 05-05-2015, 11:44 AM

Paint it like a bomber. Eyes and mouth would be awesome.

Thanks AD! I'm a fan of shiny, but the holes are dimpled and we have very little chrome on this truck...just going to paint the hood out and leave them like that.

Thanks Kim...we weren't sure of the look when we started, but really like it after the fact.

That would be kinda cool, but not our flavor

RockTonka · 05-07-2015, 06:56 PM

Picked up some parts from the powdercoater today...inner door panels and gin poles/brackets. Started putting the bed back together, we like this step of bolting parts on for the last time...

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-07-2015, 08:50 PM

Man, the bed turned out really, really nice. So who's going to put the first scratch in it?

The frame looks nice too. The holes in the hood look good. Put some lights on the inner fenders so there's a glow out of the holes. Amber should do it. Haha

RockTonka · 05-07-2015, 10:03 PM

Thanks DW, and yea, that first scratch sucks! Glad we got that out of the way on the trip home!

**Advanced Design** · 05-07-2015, 11:10 PM

The powdercoat looks really good. Even with first scratch I would hesitate to use the nice looking bed. Of course can always paint it again.

RockTonka · 05-07-2015, 11:36 PM

We've been joking about having to use it too. Can't scratch it, or get it muddy, or haul anything...good thing we built a 4X work truck!

Kim57 · 05-08-2015, 08:25 AM

Looking real sweet.
Kim

Refurbished the ram and starting to put the rear half back together...

Kim57 · 05-18-2015, 08:16 AM

Real clean looking.
Kim

**Advanced Design** · 05-18-2015, 08:42 AM

Very, very nice! I like the guard on the bottom of the pinion. Cool shocks too.

ryanroo · 05-19-2015, 10:30 PM

Appreciate that ryanroo, thanks for the props!

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-20-2015, 03:36 PM

Those shocks are sweet and the sway bar is beef cake!

Thanks DW!

Got the bed back on the frame along with a few other parts and pieces...kinda nice putting them on for the last time!

The last pic is of another project my son picked up this weekend to fool around with...

Kim57 · 05-26-2015, 08:17 AM

Truck is looking good.
Cool new project.
Kim

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-26-2015, 09:05 PM

Heck yes on the new project! The flat bed looks good back on there!

Baldeagle SR · 05-26-2015, 11:55 PM

Truck looks good. That is a GTX isn't it? That will be a nice project. Rich

Thank you DW...getting the bed back on the truck frees up the lift for the car!
