Thanks a lot! It has been a huge undertaking! But 8 more weeks in a clinical rotation 2 exams then it's Dr. Longbed as Mike Losh would say! And with full time work means better builds will come in the future!

Nice update! interior looks awesome! All the hard work with your classes and free labor is about to payoff, My wife went through it for Radiography, and had to work full time for a year with no pay. So I now how rough it is. Congrats Adam!

Thanks guys! Ya'll know how to keep a guy motivated!

Well work on the truck this weekend got put off for some serious beer brewing! A big thanks to my dad for finally getting installed an AGA approved quick disconnect gas line set up for our burner assemblies, and we brewed up 3 new beers... A Pale Ale, An Orange Honey Weiss, and A Dark Cherry Stout! Also got some Apple Jack cooked down so there is plenty of things to drink if anyone wants to come help get my truck wrapped up some weekend

[longbed67]

I know the rules Pics or it didnt happen, Here are the three in the Ale Pail's fermenting!

Well Got the windows in pretty painlessly, I posted what i did in the main forum hopefully others will be able to do the same! Also got the inside of the doors covered with dynamat, that made a huge difference, the doors no longer sounds tinny!

[XxCHEVYMANxX]

Looks Good!

[NewType72]

Looks crystal clear I like it

[longbed67]

Thanks guys! It is actually a 30% tint the maximum legal tint in Wisconsin. It is actually the same tint as some of the brand new Impala's come with, at least that's what mine has from GM

[NewType72]

looks great I think I'm at 25-35% and it seemed super dark but then the top was painted white man it lightened up least I keep these Cali sunburns away it was 80 today ALREADY craziness

[longbed67]

80!!!! wow! It was spitting snow and sleet here all day at about 30 degrees!

[NewType72]

Yeah I never see snow round here kinda be cool if only for a couple days tho

Finished up the upholstery behind the seat got it all carpeted and finished up the wiring for the sound system. It sounds great pumps out lots of quality sound and picks up stations from well over 100 miles away in an underground garage that has 10" of concrete on all sides!

[NewType72]

Too awesome who did you end up going with for audio?

[longbed67]

RetroSound Head Unit

RetroSound Antenna

Boston Acoustics Class A amp

Polk Audio 690 DXi components with tweeters

MTX 8" Subs with tweeters

All wires are Streetwires Zero Interference wires

[longbed67]

Got my new miller tig welder in today! Waiting for my 17V torch and foot control and torch accessories to come in next wednesday!!! Now just to figure out whether 3" stainless will fit or if I will have to go with 2.5" stainless exhaust

[sourkraut]

What model did you get? You will love it, i have a syncro 200. Would love a dynasty 300

[longbed67]

Well unfortunately being in medical school at $34,000 per year I am not that endowed with big budgets to buy the best of everything but I got the CST280 it will do carbon steel but not aluminum. I also have the stick attachments for it which is nice for that rare occasion that I also have to weld cast iron. I also have a Miller mig... when I'm done I will get a better unit that has ac and dc capabilities so I can do both!

[jlsanborn]

Welding cast is like a lost art man. If you get a chance to try that out be sure and post some up! NEW TOOLS ROCK

Thats cool, sounds like your set. Luckily i had bought mine 6 yrs ago now when prices were 1/2 of what they are now or would not have one.

[longbed67]

Well wrapped up the rear sway bar and got everything tightened down. Finished up the ground cables and the remote battery disconnect under the hood. And got the rest of my tig welding stuff in, called mandrel bending solutions and my pipe should be in by the end of the week so Hopefullly next week I will have the exhaust done! Which means I should be able to fire up the beast for the first time in the next month here so long as the weather cooperates and the salt gets washed off of the roads!

[superflysteiny]

Really starting to come together

[longbed67]

Shooting to have it done by mid may so I am good to go for this year's Power Tour!

Nice set-up! That Cherry Stout sounds delicious.
