haha, I've been asked that about mine to, and we suddenly start talking about the weather, the floors, the cloud in the sky!!!

Uhhh, I like to use the investment theory! Cuz I’m doing all the work it will be worth more than I’m spending.

dsraven · 05-28-2020, 10:34 AM

I just mention how much mileage she has on her audi between shop visits. haha.
i had to do the turbo downpipe. it's an older TT quatro set up, so all wheel drive. the pipes wrap around the driveline and it's reall hard to even see the turbo pipe bolts let alone access them. 11 hrs in the labour guide to change it. she usually changes the subject about that time herself. haha.

Slammed57. I sent you a PM.

**slammed57** · 06-02-2020, 05:51 PM

Gettin the bed ready for some epoxy primer

Jason 56 · 06-02-2020, 10:50 PM

Looking good!

**slammed57** · 06-05-2020, 04:05 PM

Installed the electric parking brake today, I searched the forums to see how everyone was mounting the actuator but couldn't find any pictures on how everyone was doing so, So hers a pic if anyone needed for the future. I made a bracket for it to sit into and mount to the frame and put a clamp on the front to stabilize it. works really well, thanks bam55 for the idea and help you gave me.

**slammed57** · 06-05-2020, 08:11 PM

Bed and fenders in fresh epoxy and back on the truck , soon the cab and front fenders to follow

Black_Sheep · 06-05-2020, 10:07 PM

**slammed57** · 06-06-2020, 09:06 AM

my friend, that looks real nice, great job!!

**slammed57** · 07-13-2020, 01:26 PM

Got the new seat a few weeks ago, made a frame and epoxied for it to sit on and secure it to the floor. Now it’s time to install the shoulder seat belts.

hotrod1 · 07-13-2020, 03:17 PM

Looks great! Is your rear bumper stock, just turned upside down?

hotrod1 · 07-13-2020, 03:19 PM

Ops - found the info it in the posts.

Nice. I'm interested in seeing how you do your seatbelts with the big back window.

**slammed57** · 08-30-2020, 11:01 AM

I needed more room for the clutch pedal. They recommended a 7" swing for a hydraulic set up, I only had enough for 4", needless to say I had to cut a pocket in the floor board another 3", I figured while I was at it I extended where the gas pedal another 1" ( it felt a little to cramped inside once the seat was put in....Wheew! that was a lot of work and this summer heat is killin me!

**slammed57** · 08-30-2020, 11:22 AM

Seat belts are in ( sorry I cant figure out how to rotate them ) borrowed the idea from BigGlass on his build. 2 more weeks and she gets taken apart to prep for paint work/ blasting....Shoulders get ready for the mud slinging and sanding!

Jason 56 · 08-31-2020, 12:17 AM

Toe board came out really nice! I can’t image trying to work in the Florida humidity!

**youngrodder** · 08-31-2020, 08:17 AM

Looking more and more like a complete truck every day...
