ok... Here is a small update... Chris Carlson's Hot Rods has put alot of work into the truck... While it is difficult to see in the pictures much work on the truck they has accomplished alot of fit and gapping of the doors, fenders, hood, bed, tailgate, and some blocking and sanding... I am hoping this week they will move to the things that are first on my priority list and that its the tail light fuel filler and the kick panel speakers...

I am happy at least they are moving forward on the truck...

Here is a update...

We went by the Shop yesterday and guys this trucks body is really starting to come together...

the fit and gaps of the body are pretty much completed and they are starting to fit the body side moldings... here are a few pics for that...

Those of you that have messed with these trucks know the hoods on these things are at best wavy... they are also extremely flexible when you are trying to block them... I think Jason at Chris Carlson's Hot Rods has nailed it and has this hood perfectly straight...

Now for the fun stuff... as you can see from the pictures the Fesler tail light look great... they are still fitting them and still need to get the LED's fit and the back of the light cut and flushed...

Now here is the real fun stuff... the hidden fuel filler... Chris still needs to do some tweaking on this but it is working almost flawlessly...

So what do you guys think...

Love that blue and white steering wheel and the tri power carb set up. You are collecting components that will come together with a truly unified theme. This is going to be a real show stopper. Cant wait to see what you have in mind for the upholstery given what the steering wheel looks like. I hope I can see it in person someday but Kansas is a long way from Oregon or Arizona.

Thank you alot for looking at my build... yep... we have something re ally old school in mind for the interior...

Stay tued... more updates to come...

Elliot949 · 07-22-2015, 07:00 AM

ok... Not alot has happened over the last week... They have all the moldings lined up and looking great... the focus this week was to get the kick panel 6x9 speaker cut ins fabricated... That is completed so it is kind of waiting its turn to be blown apart and into the paint booth for its final coat of slick sand... after that it will be reassembled blocked with 400 and should be ready to blow apart again for paint...

Before we paint I am going to have them Fabricate a flush mounted Bed cover and it will be painted to match the truck...

Here is a pick of the speaker mount... Sorry for the poor quality of the pic... I am not a photographer... LOL

flashed · 07-22-2015, 07:13 AM

Looking great ,looking forward to more.

Elliot949 · 08-11-2015, 07:40 AM

We are edging ever closer to getting Raymond in paint... last we they were able to blow the truck apart and get the Monstaliner sprayed on the bottom and inside of the bed and inside of the tailgate as well as the bottom of the front Wheel houses... They also have got the rest of the body panels sprayed with what should be the final round of slick sand...

When I get back from Vacation We are heading over to do the "final" block on the truck, clean it and hopefully go to paint...

The engine is out of the truck and hopefully when I get back I can pick it up and take it to Patterson Racing to get it built... I still don't know who I am going to have do the Transmission and I stull need to find a good 700R4 to build... I am going to let Patterson tell me what I need so it will match up to the engine...

Here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure...

Top side of the hood with Guide Coat:

Bottom side of the bed with the Monstaliner:

Top side of Bed with the Monstaliner:

Bottom of the front Wheelhouse:

Tailgate with Monstaliner:

Guys we are getting closer and closer... Hopefully by spring 2016 I can have this rolling down the road...

Thanks for checking out Raymond...

slowcpe · 08-11-2015, 09:01 AM

Looking good. Can't wait to see it in paint.

mcbassin · 08-11-2015, 09:34 AM

Low Elco · 08-11-2015, 12:27 PM
