Re: It ain't over till it's over.
You sure do get a lot done, I guess the fence must need to be repainted anyway right?

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
We mounted angle iron along the bed rails, the two sides and the back of the bed. Built a frame out of pressure treated 1x2's. Went to a local sign shop and got some aluminite(two pieces of aluminum sandwitching corregated plastic, very light) scraps, in other words signs they had discontinued or was no longer able to use. Come in 4x8 sheets 3/8's inch thick. $20 for two sheets. Screwed it down to the frame, added a sheet of plywood underneath for strength and mounted it on the bed Plan on covering it with tonneau cover material bought online.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Got the old grille out. Got the core support painted, and ready for the new Phantom grille. Took another pic of the gear shift knob, a little better this time. Gotta figure out something to do with the dash insert where the plastic pins broke off of the back. There's only two that holds it on, but I've got something in mind.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Figured I'd check your build thread out. Man this thing has really come together huh. I'm all about doing with what you have. I have so much more respect for someone that does something on their own than someone who pays someone else to do it. Don't get me wrong. Somethings need to be left to professionals if you don't know what you're doing or don't have time but it looks like you got all that covered.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Thanks man. as I've said before, it really means a lot. Between the two of us, myself and my brother, I don't think there's anything that we haven't done. Started at a young age working for our dad in a tv repair business, and he was one of those people that did everything himself. I had grandfathers and uncles that were in the autobody field. I worked at a couple of dealerships. My brother's been a carpenter for over 30 years. Before that, he worked in the mills fixing their machines. Ive worked in telecommunications the last 5 years of my working career before retiring due to disability. You won't see me in any of these pictures except for the big orange blot in the third picture lol. And once again, thanks. It's truly a pleasure.
