The mud flap trim matches and looks killer! The steps look awesome too!

Thanks DW, we appreciate your checking in!!

On a side note, my son picked up a piece of shop art today...been sitting in a farmers field for a few decades!!

stersam · 08-27-2015, 01:36 AM

I like your "shop art". I wonder how long it will take till it is sitting on the lift.

Any one want to start taking bets?

lower50's · 08-27-2015, 08:29 AM

As soon as the Dually is done.

Just re-read this whole thread from day one.........

Again have to bow to you and your family, your skills and work ethic.

Ohh, and the donkeys, showed Nicola the pics and she was all over the iPad.

Looking forward to picking up my jaw repeatedly........

RockTonka · 08-31-2015, 02:05 AM

Wow Rian, you must have been really bored to have re-read this again.

Seriously, thanks for the props...it means a lot to us.

The donkeys are like puppies, in and out of the shop looking for attention every chance they get. Too bad Nicola isn't coming on this next trip stateside...a treat or two and the donkeys will be your friends for life. Maybe next time...

We're looking forward to your visit...only a few short weeks left!

Kim57 · 08-31-2015, 08:36 AM

That's really cool looking.
Kim

**Advanced Design** · 08-31-2015, 11:32 AM

Major cool! Lotta work and worth it.

Thanks!

Working on the sides now, the final finish will be close to what the verticals are...except varnished.

lower50's · 09-01-2015, 05:25 AM

Nice!!

RockTonka · 09-04-2015, 03:45 AM

Thanks L50!

Not much to add, but we did rough finish out the remaining bed sides...all edges are routered. My son is NOT looking forward to all the sanding they're going to take to finish out!

Kim57 · 09-04-2015, 08:25 AM

Looks well worth the effort.
Kim

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-04-2015, 06:04 PM

That wood working looks sweet! By the way, if you find any other shop art like that, let me know! I'd love to have a model A coupe.

(Like I really need another distraction)

Thanks DW! The 29 is shop art because it's really too far gone to easily rebuild...if you were a sucker for punishment, then maybe.

RockTonka · 10-02-2015, 02:13 AM

We've been slowly working on the cab sheet metal, filling seams, holes, and making it all one piece. Maybe get it to our paint guy in a few weeks...

RockTonka · 10-02-2015, 02:16 AM

Also working on tying the inner fenders into the cab...we're removing almost all the bolts and welding/smoothing all the holes/seams we can get to.

Kim57 · 10-02-2015, 08:21 AM

Lots of welding.
Looks good when the fenders and cab are one piece.
Kim

RockTonka · 10-03-2015, 12:26 AM

yep, lots of welding! We think it'll really look good once its all smoothed in.

Finished the pass side this evening...

Grizz1963 · 10-03-2015, 01:42 AM

Amazing progress Phil.

Your welding does look like a welders work. I would love to clean up my engine bay a bit but have very little idea where to close and where to hold.

Less than two weeks before we fly out.

I am expecting Martin here in the next hour to help me lift off my bed, then flip the cab so I can get to the underside and chassis to paint and underseal.
Then later in the day I need to get to his place as he is acid washing his chassis for the POR15 but needs to move it out into his back yard first so he can pressure clean the acid afterwards. Then get it back into his carport so he can start painting. Gonna be a busy day for both of us.

RockTonka · 10-03-2015, 11:40 AM

Thanks Rian, you and Martin make a great team. We're looking forward to your visit stateside...it'll be here before you know it.

RockTonka · 10-04-2015, 02:56 AM

Smoothed/cleaned some more in the engine bay, smoothed the dash/A pillar welds, and finally finished sanding all the paint off of the hood.

mjh1965 · 10-04-2015, 03:03 AM

It's coming together well, all that sanding is dedication . I am looking forward to seeing it a couple of weeks .

Kim57 · 10-04-2015, 09:04 AM

Real good progress.
Kim
