Today my Sharpe primer gun decided to take a dump right before a spray, leaked rendering the piece useless. Luckily I had a back up gun. I am debating weather to pull the trigger on a SATAjet 100BF HVLP Primer Gun w/ 2.1mm Nozzle

As usual, great looking work!

Awesome awesome awesome!

about how many hours do you have into that firewall? All's i know is it looks fantasticly clean

[smokedat]

Thnkx..It would be hard to answer that as i have gone back and forth but I would say a considerable amount, since it was all built off metal with minimal bondo. And to anyone that is wondering why i didnt just knock it all out and shave it all in one large piece, instead of in sections like I have answer is Budget. budget expanded so booster was shaved, budget expanded once again so steering column was shaved, it took some time but eventually i got to where i wanted to be with it.

man I like the mods you done on the firewall and rad support....looks killer!

[smokedat]

got bit further with the firewall. i welded the inside and added a piece of flat bar for added strength, without adding unnecessary weight. Know we have a strong wall with zero play or woble, i was pushing on it hard and it didnt now show any signs of movement or flex, this should result in better steering response. i got as far as applying a first layer of fiberglass to critical areas

[smokedat]

i also finished welding out the stiffener i added to where the fender attaches, got to apply a layer of fiberglass

came around to photograph my mirrors, they will fit the corvette theme

No offense but use your own rendering and not base it off of mine.

[smurf]

Hey bro contact Daniel Reyna at Reyna Bros Design to have him do a rendering for you.

He can make it look just like you want.

Nice build.

Like I said typed before I read and fingers got ahead of the brain. Nice build man. No worries. Apologies my friend!

[smokedat]

started this build back in 12-10-2009 I had the corvette theme going since then as far as i know im the only one with a corvette theme truck on here i eaven made it official and called it the z-10. I will disregard youre comments and continue with my build

[smokedat]

This is one possible option for the seats, themed after a 59 Corvette. I want a two tone white and blue on leather. White on the outer part and Blue in the inner are with blue tubbing on the white area and white sticihing on the blue area

[smokedat]

Option 2 themed after a 62 Corvette, same idea applies

[smokedat]

really diggin option 1, what do you guys think??

By the way wich ever option i go i will match the theme on the door with aluminum trim and all like the sample pics

[juiceman650]

Option 1 looks a lot cleaner in my opinion. This is gonna be one bad ass truck man.
