Nice build...attention to detail is outstanding

SCOTTMO · 04-01-2010, 02:05 PM

Looks good

WellBilt Kustoms · 04-05-2010, 06:14 PM

Thanks for all the positive response fella's! I'm currently finishing up the frame right now, and its off to powder coating tomorrow.

I'll post up some pics of the frame once I get her all finished up!

Truck is lookin bitshin'. great work on the arms, I personally love the hole theme.

butternut1972 · 04-06-2010, 10:15 AM

Nice work Bro!!

WellBilt Kustoms · 04-06-2010, 11:28 AM

Hey guys, I appreciate the positve comments.

quick update: I damn near worked through the night. Stopped working at around 4:30 am, and got back here to the shop around 7:45. bottom line is I made a commitment to the customer that the frame would make it to powder coating today, so I will make sure it does. I'll post up pics of the frame before we send it off. Its coming out great! Looks pretty sweet!

**lks dcvn** · 04-06-2010, 11:36 AM

LOTS of nice work on this project -

Looking forward to more progress and pix!

LONGSWHEEL · 04-06-2010, 11:49 AM

Awsome work

VA72C10 · 04-08-2010, 09:24 AM

Nice! I really want to box the frame on my next build (frame-laying blazer) I really like all the attention to detail!

WellBilt Kustoms · 04-19-2010, 02:35 PM

quick update, pics to follow in the next hour.

Frame has been finished, and is at the powder coater! I can't even tell you guys how much time and effort went into getting the frame totally smooth and boxed in, and cleaned up. The entire frame was boxed in with dimpled plates. Every hole thats not needed was filled in and ground smooth. Every rivet was smoothed off. Every transition between panels, brackets, crossmembers, ect. has been welded up, and smoothed into each other.

The cab is back from blasting, and now that I can see what the metal looks like under all the layers of paint, rust, and bondo, well I have alot of work to do to say the least.

This week is going to be nothing but metal work on the cab. Need to patch up all the rusted out areas, smooth the body lines and roof drip, shave the door jambs, and get suicide door hinges installed, new rockers going in, and the tedious work of getting that 55 chevy dash to fit into the cab and make transition panels to mold to the front part of the door panels to meet up with it.

WellBilt Kustoms · 04-19-2010, 04:00 PM

Here are the pics of the frame:

WellBilt Kustoms · 04-19-2010, 04:06 PM

Here I am hard at work!!!

The Shirt says it all!!!

Rolling her out to put onto the trailer and send off to powder coating:

Pics of the cab:

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-19-2010, 04:40 PM

I for one am just curious as to how your gonna run the exhaust as you dimpled the carrier bearing cross member you could have dimpled both sides and ran the exhaust through. The frame looks killer was just wondering?

big_al_71 · 04-19-2010, 05:05 PM

Outstanding built!!!

hubert hefner · 04-19-2010, 05:14 PM

very nice!

hgs_notes · 04-19-2010, 07:48 PM

If it was me, I'd find another cab. Frame looks great.

WellBilt Kustoms · 04-21-2010, 04:27 PM

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I've been working on the cab since the start of the week, and were just moving steady on it. Got most of the rust spots cut out, and patch panels are made. Filled in the trim holes. Shaved the cab seam up at the top of the roof. Shaved the gas filler hole. And about 50% done with the roof drip rail. Both rockers have been removed, and passenger side needs new metal under where the rocker goes.

Also got the firewall cut out, and ready for a new skin. We decided to cut the entire firewall out, and shave smooth, instead of filling all the holes, and tapering the two panels to make it look like one.

I have also started shaving unwanted holes, open spots on the 55 chevy dash, and once all the floor has been fixed and welded up, I will start molding the dash in.

I'll post up some pics later on tonight.

Frame comes back from powder coating Friday!

Also the engine comes back this week. Looking forward to seeing how all that bling looks on there with the fresh coat of paint to match all the suspension components.

ruffrida2005 · 04-21-2010, 06:08 PM

Man that thing is sweet. Looks like you could have built a 2x4 and been way less work. But it's outstanding work none the less.

SCOTTMO · 04-21-2010, 09:07 PM

What color powder coating did you go with ?

For the frame, we went with a black base with copper vein hammer finish. Should tie everything in really well.

The truck will be pearl white up top, rootbear candy color on the lower half, and in the middle of the two, it will have a tangerine candy color to break it up, with silver pinstripping. Not sure if its just going to be a straight break in the colors with the tangerine, or have some type of graphic or pattern to it.

WellBilt Kustoms · 04-26-2010, 12:08 PM

Frame is back from powder coating. I will post pictures of it here shortly. The copper color isn't as vibrant as we thought it was going to be, but overall it looks like a rootbeer color, which works out perfect with the color scheme for the exterior of the truck.

Metal work and rust repair continues on the cab. I should have a good portion of it done this week.

If any of you are local, and attend the long beach high performance swapmeets once a month, May 9th is the next event, and I will be there in a booth with the chassis put together as a roller, so please come by check it out, and say hello. I'd love to meet some of the guys on this forum!

Man what an awesome build! Your attention to detail speaks volume for what kind of work you guys must do.
