72BlckButy · 03-10-2012, 11:12 PM

Sounds like a plan to me.

big_al_71 · 03-11-2012, 02:58 PM

well today I came over to my boys house so we could finally put up the beam in his garage. Raul and his dad had already done all the hard work all he needed help with was just to lift the beam and secure it in place. I took some picts to share with you all....Now that the beam is on I am sure Raul will move this projecrt fast forward real quick as I know him and i both are anxious to get the stepside "abuelo" moving on it's own power..

big_al_71 · 03-11-2012, 03:01 PM

of course here are two picts of big al in action.....

hello keith if you go to my post #87 you will see what i used to do the frame and i also used it on the tubz , i love that stuff , i may do engine bay with it as im not looking for the smooth paint finish in this build , this stuff is semi gloss and it leaves a small texture look to it at the same time , may not be for everybody but it works for me , here are some pix and my first cut !!!!

raull · 03-18-2012, 03:25 PM

finally done with the right side , my pops its here going overboard with the engine hoist ( lol ) so he's keeping me away from truck , the truck now drop another inch or so , the bag is bottom out now , that all she sang , im good with that , still some triming issues then im good , some pix

Thanks Raull, I went back and looked. I was thinking about doing the same thing painting the tubz on the inside with bedliner. Tubz are looking good in there.
