Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project

Ended up ordering paint for the firewall today as well as bed liner for the floor... Didn't go with cordova brown reason being I don't want to spray tri coat paint seeing that the truck will be sprayed 3 separate times for the brown... So I had to open the wallet and went with house of kolor root beer candy basecoat... Very nice bright brown in the sun... Very expensive ...hopefully don't screw it up haha.

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project

This is the colour chip from house of kolor pretty nice... Got the cab floor all sanded down ready for some epoxy and bed liner ... Should be shooting tomorrow if the bed liner shows up then it's prep the fire wall so it's ready when the paint shows up...

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project

Got the poly blocked out on the box and any fixing needed done aswell and everything sitting together for final tweaking of panels... Haven't touched the truck in a few weeks been real busy with work... The gf and I have also picked up another project, she wanted something she could help on and learn the ropes so... How about a 1952 Morris minor 4 door it's about 90% complete with just a little rust in the trunk floor... Ill throw a picture up once I haul it home Monday..

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project

Yes I built the steps it's just the start of them for now... I need to get fender flares before I make them permanent then I'm going to put flat steps on the bars that drop down so I'm not just stepping on tubing.

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project

Got some more odds n ends done.... Cut out flares are on I don't like how they cover the clearance light so I will be shaving the lights and trimming off the plastic on the flare that covers the light... Kind of a cheesy easy way out on bushwackers part... Also borrowed a set of 40s so I could build templates for the mud flap brackets... Hopefully get those bent up this weekend... Due to resizing pictures I'm just going to post less as I do everything on my phone

Amazing work keep it up and I am doing an 80 k30 dually and was wondering if you have anymore pictures of how you got the intercooler mounted on the core support and what intercooler did you use.

Thanks

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project

Nice little cave you have there. What do you have to worry about down there anyways? It snows, a chinook rolls threw about 2pm and you guys are in tshirts for 3 days

Looks to me like your in Airdrie or some thing, not right in Calgary. Mind me asking what a plot of land is worth in your neck of the woods? Looks like your on at least an acre or 2

How big did you end up going?

Re: My crewcab 4x4 cummins project

Done a little more work on the truck ... I got the body work on the doors finished up, installed a super b single turbo and built a 4" down pipe... In going to lift the body off the frame and take the frame home so I can hammer down on the body and paint...I would post more photos but using my phone only let's me do one at a time... The ac condenser and drier is all mounted the rad support needs a few finish welds and it's ready to blast and paint.
