Did you have to do any mods to the back of the air cleaner to fit around the dist?

Pro Performance · 05-22-2012, 08:46 PM

You make me want to get a bead roller and start practicing! You are doing a killer job. I am already looking at reviews online and searching for a good one.

What are you using? Eastwood had one for an affordable price, and saw a guy on YouTube that hooked up a drill motor to it.

Painter D · 05-22-2012, 09:04 PM

Lookin good

kyull67 · 05-22-2012, 09:36 PM

So I've been gone for awhile, what's the status of this thing?!

How far are you from the Missouri border?

Bennett68C10 · 05-22-2012, 10:33 PM

Bed is painted , they are doing a few touch ups on it ,bringing it home the end of this week ! Then the cab goes in, I think i should be done by Aug. I am not very far from Springfield 3 hours, i am 30 mins from Fayetteville right on the OK border

**67cheby** · 05-23-2012, 09:39 AM

thanks everyone else on the panels i am busting my butt on them right now, here are a couple ugly pics from last night, the areas that i couldnt bend in the metal brake i had to bend a piece cut it off and weld it in to give it the same rolled edge all the way around ! so here are the ugly pics before i smooth out the welds ! I should have some pretty pics tomorrow !

belowme51 · 05-23-2012, 10:00 AM

mike I covered all my wires with a couple of frame kits from painless and ran inside the frame. i had to bundle the sensor wires and just cut to length for the two that run up front. attached with MADE 4 U clamps and you cant even tell on a black frame...they are protected, look braided if up close but protected non the less.

6772owner · 05-23-2012, 10:02 AM

Looking good buddy!!

**superflysteiny** · 05-23-2012, 10:56 AM

Now the painful part tac welding for hours

**67cheby** · 05-23-2012, 12:03 PM

LOL...that is for sure !! tough on my A.D.D ....

**67cheby** · 05-23-2012, 01:30 PM

Looking at some wood and strips ! WOW, killer stuff at Bed Wood and Parts ! http://bedwoodandparts.com/n-2251-be...it-starts.html Some of these EXOTIC woods are UNBELIEVABLE !

**67cheby** · 05-23-2012, 01:35 PM

does it get any cooler than that ! ZEBRA WOOD

**superflysteiny** · 05-23-2012, 01:40 PM

ya and expensive

VA72C10 · 05-23-2012, 02:02 PM

I can't remember now...are you going to be painting the panels body color or satin black or some other black?

On the bed wood...what are you leaning towards? A lighter wood or something darker for contrast? I think with the large (and very cool

) notch cover covering most of the bed it might look better with lighter wood or....painted wood or metal instead of natural wood....

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-23-2012, 02:23 PM

I think VA hit it on the head. The bright wood or dark wood may make the step cover look out of place. A light birch or something to a grayish color would look pretty sweet I think.
