egg glare hugger orange (not mat but an eggshell shine ) would look good on it as whell , bit more stealth

nuke1 · 03-28-2009, 04:48 PM

i agree , go blue, i am going HOK limetime green.

oldstyle · 04-11-2009, 12:22 AM

Blue looks killer..............

Frizzle Fry · 04-11-2009, 01:02 AM

Sweet shop, sweet renderings. One question; is it me or does the rendering look like a longer bed than a SWB? Not quite a long bed but longer in front of the rear wheels than a normal shorty. Or maybe I'm just...

Thanks Frizzle! I think i know what you guys are talking about but i don't see it. I think it might just be the angle. You know now since you guys are pointing that out i am going to be staring at the rendering for hours until i see it and once i do i will always see it like that. Thanks alot........

Just playing!

On another side note hopefully Carter will understand my drawing of the interior and will do a rendering of the interior as well. I am really stoked on that because i know what i want but having a hard time desing it so it flows nice in my head. Also i will have real progress pics hopefully next week. My new tool should show this coming wednesday afternoon and then i can make my inner fenders for the bed and get that all wrapped up. I remade the inside bedsides a little different so after i get the inner fenders made I will snap some pics. Happy Easter everyone!!!!!!!

Well it has been a crazy week or two. I'll start with the really great news. My wife and I just found out thats she's pregnant. We are totally stoked. Hopefully its a boy but we will see

. The other good news is that i finally saved up enough money to get the bead roller i have been wanting. I got a Mittler Brothers 36" bead roller with the upgraded motor so it can safely do 16-18g steel. So i finally got to build the inner fenders for the bed because i was waiting for the bead roller. I am extremely happy with the overall turnout especially since it was my first ever built fender. I am actually excited to build the other side which hopefully get it done this week. I also build new inner bedsides. I went with something simple and clean. I figured after there painted it will look better simpler. I made it so the fenders bolt to the bedsides because it will be easier to paint and color sand if there not in the way. Anyways heres a bunch of pics. I got a little photo happy

.

abadsvt · 04-21-2009, 12:42 AM

a few more pics. The pic with the new bed side is designed so the wood will slip underneath that lip for a clean install. The bedside is just sitting there and i still have to cut out the original bedside and do some work around that. Plus this was taken before the inner fenders were built so now the cutout matches the cutout in the bedsides to the inner fenders. I also changed the way the front bedside panel looks. I matched the clean and straight lines of the new bedsides all the way around. Pics will explain better when i get around to take those pics.

Josh,

What rolls did you use for the roll over? Do they have them in different radii or did you have them made? Thanks. Something like that might get me further along. Thanks.

Also congrats to you!!! Yeah i am expecting alot of work but thankfully i have a wonderful wife to help out. My younger brother has 2 kids (2yr girl, 8month boy) and they are alot of work but i get excited everytime i get to see them which is quite a bit. Luckly my brother had his kids first so i got to see first hand how much work and patience you must have. It was a good warm up for me

.

THanks for the complements!

You should do it. That would be sweet! Maybe just behind the rear seats towards the back. I thought i have seen that before but don't remember where but it would definately be different. Thanks for the complement!
