Re: Project truck dream 65"
Dash all together now.I spent alot of time and effort rebuilding the unit,considering its the main center piece i didnt mind taking the time to do it my way and right.
Just want to say thanks to Jason Wilson at Greenback Decals for the refacing of my gauges and building the tach.This is gonna look great !

Re: Project truck dream 65"
Got the day off work yesterday, so I spent some time In the shop cleaning up the fuel tank area,reworked the mounts and built some stainless straps to hold it in place.
Spent an hour or so polishing them up to a mirror finish...looking cool

Re: Project truck dream 65"
Worked up a bit of a sweat Wed night...,I decided to make my own exhaust hangers after finding out what it would cost to have them cut on a water jet.
Anyway they look cool cant wait to polish them.6061 aluminum drilled then cut with a zip cutter and hacksaw.......

Re: Project truck dream 65"
thats some handy and ingenious work! no one would know by looking at it that it was handmade.
this is one of the best ideas I have seen in this thread too: is it just an angle grinder with the guard removed and a polishing wheel chucked up in it? I have a 6" metabo and it never occured to me to use it like this, but that would be brilliant, my wheels need polished. is it that simple?

Re: Project truck dream 65"
Picture #1 the Bedwood sample.....7 coats of clear over white oak and looking fantastic...so now the Bedwood is getting the icing!
Darren let me get a few seconds in on the gun..haven't picked up one in 20 plus years ! Burned through 1 gallon of clear already...2 coats on the underside 3 on top.One more gallon to go (I hope) clear is dam expensive these days at $350.00 a gallon
