Just the plastic covers along side the intake. Thay will be the blue body color. Well looks like I will be out in the shop tonight again untill the early AM getting the doors and stuff ready for paint. My Mom could not make it up to baby sit due to bad weather and my wife is on a dead line so she had to work this weekend. I might be able to shoot the doors and stuff on Sunday. Kevin LFD inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well, hey, if you're gonna copy something, you may as well be copying on of the best damn looking 67's I've ever seen! One of my board favorites!

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I personally would like to copy how you did your cab roof. As you can see mine needs alot of work. Your build is something a lot of us can learn from. Would like your opinion on this type of repair.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Ah yes the four bolt repair! You unbolt the four body mounts, lift off cab and set aside. Set new cab down and rebolt, problem solved!
You know this might be able to be repaired but in all honesty I would go with the steps listed above. Once the rust has gotten as far and as deep as yours apears it is realy about beyond repair because no matter what you do it will be coming back or you will end up replacing every part of that cab to fix the problem. Sorry it is not what you wanted to hear I am sure but it is the best advice I can give. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Are you going to paint the rims body color like Johns truck or just stay with the factory wheel color?

I think I will be getting them blasted and then paint body color. Once this is done I will have to drive over to Johns and get some side by side pics. Wel maybe not, mine wil look alot better if his is not around Kevin LFD inc. Last edited by Rokcrln; 02-16-2008 at 10:08 PM. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well last night was another long night in the shop after my wife and son went to sleep. I got the doors, front fenders blocked and ready for paint. I also blocked teh top side of teh hood and it is ready for some slight spot repair and I cleaned and sanded the under side of the hood so it is ready for paint. I hope to be able to get out their this afternoon and shoot the doors, fenders and bottom side of the hood. That will leave the top of the hood, cowl. glove box door and engine covers for later this week. Then I will need to shoot the rad support (in place) so I can start bolting this stuff together. Then once the cab is 100% I will pull the truck out side and roll the bed in for some light mods and paint. I also need to do the handle flip on the tail gate and i will be doing a How-To for this.
Another 5hrs spent in the shop last night to add to the bill. I would hate to be the guy paying for this build Kevin LFD Inc. 166hrs main build $6043.00 main build 88 Paint hrs $705.00 Paint |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
That's only about $60/hr, you're worth more than that!

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I thought I would add this one as well. It has been storming the last few days here so I could not put the truck out side even if I wrapped it their is way to much wind. So it is slid to the side of the booth, wraped and a second plastic wall put up in front of it. Sure makes for a small booth
