looks great i wonder if it shows a lot when you turn over the edge of the metal that lays on the tub in a 45 degree angle toward the tubs , that way you can close in on the tubs with the sheetmetal bij making the angle more or less basicly laying the metal ontoo the tub
its a little more forgiving as you can add metal when you took too mush out of it by bending it too far

Trim panels look great Mike, you should sell these with the Slosh Tubz. I'm sure alot of people would be interested in them.

Considering it but it does take a few mods to make them fit like this

That looks much better without that little corner bracket from fender to support. But I'm very concerned with your choice of seats. Every corner is going to be like a tilt-o-whirl. Depending on who the passenger is it could be fun, but hard stops will probably make it tip over when the wheels hit the front seat mount ridge in the floor.

great job!!!!

71Sleeper · 05-07-2012, 11:37 PM

Man! going to be super clean under the hood with eveything tucked away. You metal work will stand out a lot once the paint hits it. Can't wait.

mcbassin · 05-08-2012, 12:09 AM

Very nice work on the sheetmetal. One more positive step forward. Keep it up.

watahyahknow · 05-08-2012, 12:53 AM

one of those panels might make a nice place to have a signpainter put some thanks to the sponsor notes on and maibe some data on the truck , usually the only place you be with the hood open is at carschows

**67cheby** · 05-08-2012, 07:45 AM

Lol ... If I had some sponsors I would paint their names across the top of the hood !

Those hinges look a helluva lot better on your truck, than they would on mine!!!
Keep up the good work!

Cannot see the top frame of the door from the pictures, but looks like the bottom hinge needs to slide back a little to raise the rear of the door , so the body lines match up. Doors are tricky and there is a million combinations. Patients is the key!! Everything is looking great!! Keep it up
