Re: 75 Dually build
That blue is awesome! That vinyl looks sweet. I'm not going to lie, I may have to try this on a project now.

Re: 75 Dually build
So I started on the cowl tonight, but it simply got too cold to work the material. Plus I don't want to rush this cowl because if I do it will turn out ugly for sure.
So tomorrow it is supposed to be a lot warmer. Perfect time to get some serious work done on this super sized girl. Stay tuned! |

Re: 75 Dually build
Part 1: I worked most of the day in the shop, OK after I went and got some donuts! First was the dually fender and then on to the big passenger fender. I wanted to give you guys an idea the process of doing the dually fender. It is a bugger to do! Saying that it can be done you just have to play with it a bunch. I think I have it down now...
Part 2 will be the rest of the pictures I took today working on the big blue beast. I'm tired, but satisfied on what I got done today. Stay tuned!!! |

Re: 75 Dually build
Part 2! Here are the rest of the pics I took today. Still not done with the big passenger fender as you can see, but it got late and we got church tomorrow.
Enjoy the pics! Last edited by 75Dually; 02-05-2017 at 01:56 AM. |

Re: 75 Dually build
I did a bunch of small jobs cleaning up the parts I have already wrapped. However I did get to install the new marker lights. Shinny!

Re: 75 Dually build
That looks really nice. You are doing nice work. It definitely looks like you have to have a lot of patience too.

Re: 75 Dually build
Looks killer, I'm surprised how deep and glossy the vinyl looks. Hope to see it at LST!!

Re: 75 Dually build
I have been saying the same thing. Do they have a "Best entry arriving on a Roll back"award?

Re: 75 Dually build
So in typical West Texas fashion the weather today was 90 degrees, and tomorrow we are expecting a winter storm!
So I busted a hump today getting the truck in primer. I will have to wet sand the roof, and a couple of small spots, but it is now really coming along. I also got the rear panel covered today. In that pic you can see some wrinkles at the very top, don't worry about those because they will be under the stainless rear cab wrap around trim. You can also see in that shot where I used the knifeless tape on the outer edge. Man that stuff is amazing! I still have a couple of air bubbles to chase down, but it is maybe 2 to 3 of them. Let me tell you this panel was no fun at all. I still have to finish the bottom, but that is for tomorrow! Stay tuned! |

Re: 75 Dually build
Can you just take care of tje air bubbles you are chasing with a pin? That's how we used to do it with vinyl graphics.

Re: 75 Dually build
Y'all know how much I like to sand, if you don't let me tell you... So tonight I got half of the roof wet sanded (the hard part, the very middle!), and I got the complete hood done too. I will get the rest of the truck wet sanded early this week and then I will start the wrapping process. I wanted the truck as mirror smooth as possible in order to give the best possible finish for the wrap.
Stay tuned! |

Re: 75 Dually build
LST Crunch! The pain is real!!
So tonight I got the whole passenger side and most of the roof wet sanded. Tomorrow is the drivers side. No slacking at this point. Every hour counts! Stay tuned |
