Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

I plastic dipped my wheels before bringing the chassis to the shop. The cab, radiator support and 1 fender were installed. This weekend I should get the second fender and the hood on. Great progress! It feels good to see it going together.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

Guys,

Just a quick update. I had to trim the inner fenders a little to clean the upper control arms. We installed the grill, fenders and are working on all the gaps. All the gaps on the passenger side are done. Im waiting on a set of porterbuilt hood hinges so I can install the hood. I also got a rendering done.

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

Hood hinges are installed and they look great next to the slick fire wall. the driver side of the truck is completely body worked and ready for the first full coat of prime. Im starting to see the end of the body work and paint part of the project.

I was nice meeting CodeJbird at the show this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration on my truck....

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

It's always nice to put a face to the name. Your truck will be a show stopper when it's done! Keep us posted on the progress pics. I look forward being parked side by side at the next show!

Re: I think i can!!! - SWB 72 Step-side

Nice work on the hinges. The struts look like they hold the hood up good too.

Mcbassign,

The struts work great on the hood. I was happy with the complete hood hinge kit from Porterbiult.
