Hood in first prime. It's getting closer.
Powder coater should have my radiator support done maybe tomorrow, then i can build the front end for the final time.
I finished up installing the door panels on the passsenger side doors last night, then shut the doors to realize i forgot to put the lock cylinder in.

rs72z · 03-08-2012, 05:30 PM

I got my radiator support back from the powdercoater today

Now i can start building the frontend.

rs72z · 03-09-2012, 10:16 AM

One fender on. I still need to rub the other fender so i can put the moldings on then it can go on.

Looks great!
Not a huge fan of those mirrors, but this is on of my favorite dually builds.

Thanks
I never was crazy about them either, but after looking at my options i think i made the right choice.

Besides i wanted electric, i hate not being able to adjust my mirrors while driving.

Conundrum · 03-09-2012, 02:22 PM

I can understand that

rs72z · 03-11-2012, 03:16 PM

Getting closer.

I recieved another piece of the puzzle yesterday. It's aused dash pad that came from MD. Not perfect but pretty close and cheap to boot. I just need to repair a little spot and dye it, then i can finish up the interior.

Man that truck looks awesome! great work! My brother said he can't get the wheels, so sorry for making you wait.

Thanks. no problem on the wheels.

rs72z · 03-14-2012, 06:54 PM

Dash pad is ready to go on. Now i can finish the interior trim and start the stereo install.

cochino12 · 03-14-2012, 08:10 PM

What did you have to fix on the dash?

It had a small spot right above the trim on the right side that was missing a piece. I used some two part epoxy to fill it and when it started getting tacky i used a scotchbright pad to put some texture back in it.

I am glad you chimed in, been wanting to ask how your dually rides with the aol bags on the back?

It rides great, i was worried about it being real bumpy but it rides better than before. My tires have a lot of dry rot so I havent put many miles on it yet though. Tennessee wheel/tire is supposed to have 20" dually wheels sometime this summer so I'm waiting to replace them.
