Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
Did you paint the base coat with the door lying that way? If so - be careful doing that- I sprayed a fender like that once with a high metalic color- and it didn't match. The Metalic in the paint lays out a certain way due to gravity, it is generally recomended to have the panel orientation correct when doing metalics, to ensure the best match. I didn't believe that until it happened to me. The fender matched the hood perfectly(when laid flat) but looked a shade off at the door. Hung the fender on a stand and repainted with the same paint- matched perfect. It might've gotten by for anyone else- but it drove me nutz.LOL
Not trying to jack your thread- Truck is AWESOME. Just wanted to share that info.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
No new pics yet but i did make some progress. Carpet is in along with the front seats, both passengers doors built except for the door panels. I am going to try putting some relays on the windows to see if they really help them going up.
I'm going to have to get the rear seat recovered later, it's to light now with the darker seats. That really sucks because it is in perfect shape. Next up i need to pull the fenders back off so i can get the core support off and get it blasted and powder coated. Then alot more color sanding and buffing. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow night. |

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
Have never been a big fan of lowered duallys, but man that thing looks sweet! The color combo looks great!

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
Not much new progress. I picked up a set of alcoa's from board member Scoti, they really made a difference in the truck. It was nice meeting and chatting with you Scoti.
I also installed the rest of the door moldings and sent the radiator support to the powder coater.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
Alcoas look much better. Do you have the trim for the dually fender? I have a couple sets if you need them

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"
What are you going to do with the old wheels? New wheels look good!

Yes, I might be. My little brother was looking some for his 92 F-350.
