then all I did was a air bag plate on the top and cups in the coil pockets. Also I got my C-Notch bolted in this weekend too.

On the cab I got the inner outer rocker panels done cab corners in. welded up gas cap hole, shaved firewall and some of the floor. also media blasted the cab. so it's ready to go to paint, but my pocket isn't yet. haha

all I need is to get a bunch of money to Finish it up! LOL

Very cool.

I talked to ECE on my LWB and doing a 3.5/4" drop on mine.
Reason - I want enough suspension travel want on the on ramps to haul butt and not have to worry about bottoming out.
Hoping it will still be as nice as Nates!

But for customers I do this! I still have the main hole to do once the new A/C shows up for fitment and tabs.

I only mention it because for my RetroRod project I just shaved the holes. Every time I would look @ it after, I thought it lacked symmetry. When I started messing w/my Beater, I went ahead & rounded the pass side & capped the gutter. What a difference as far as cleaning it up & making it flow so much better....

bmfpeterson · 11-18-2009, 01:54 PM

where the hell were you guys 3 months ago? that looks so clean! the truck is at paint and now I don't know what to do!!!!!!! I def think it looks way cleaner rounded to match the driver side, but the truck is there at the paint shop--- i have no room to take it home and finish it and I don't even want to ask him how much to round it out.

If I round the passenger side corner wouldn't I have to take the whole lip out of the top of the firewall across from passenger side to driver side??

What do I do now????????

Scoti---you are right on! how much work was it? i assume you had to add sheet to bring it closer to the outside?

Check w/them 1st & see how much. Maybe it won't be as bad as you're anticipating.

bmfpeterson · 11-20-2009, 09:49 PM

ok so I talked to the painter and for the money it would cost I am going to have him do it now because I am sure I would be killing myself over it later! he said he is ready to start next week!!! I'll post pics as soon as I can.

bmfpeterson · 11-23-2009, 12:58 PM

Scoti-- you were on the money he said maybe around $300 he should be able to get it worked out. And if i'm going to spend $6000 on paint then the 300 is definitely worth it! he said he would start on it tomorrow!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-23-2009, 03:12 PM
