Re: 75 Dually build
Now the wrapping starts, and I catch a cold! Crud!!
Oh well I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow and see what they can do for me... This roof section was actually not that bad. I'm glad I started off with the harder parts because I now know how to handle items like the roof ribs. I have the knifeless tape laid down on the very edges under the blue you see here (you can just see the light green tape if you look closely at the corners), so that when I lay down the side parts and they are in place I will make a butt joint and hopefully it will be very hard to see the seam. That's my plan at this point... Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better because I need everyday to get this thing done. 7 more days until we leave! |

Re: 75 Dually build
This is awesome! Very well done on the wrapping for never doing it before. When I finally find a dually I just may try this as well.

Re: 75 Dually build
A couple more pics for tonight. Got the passenger door done. Tomorrow it's the front end and the drivers side rear fender. So much to do! So little time!
Stay tuned! |

Re: 75 Dually build
So I thought I would show the hood being done tonight. It took me 1 1/2 hours from start to finish. It came out great. Now I'm tired again and it's off to bed!
Stay tuned... |

Re: 75 Dually build
Looking good. You make it look easy. You may have found your new calling in life. When should I drop off my K5? Take lots of pictures of LST for those of us further away than you are.

Re: 75 Dually build
So more pics of the big super smurf! Got the front end done today, for the most part. Still have to do the lower front cross bar and the part under the cowl. Oh yeah speaking of the cowl... I still have to finish that too... Yeah!
At least I made some good progress today. Both front fenders, and the drivers door. Only 3 more days before we haul down south. Stay tuned! |

Re: 75 Dually build
I would seriously consider taking it part way done and telling everyone it is wrapped and see their reactions. Very cool stuff and nicely done! When I get one of my own I may consider trying this as well.

Re: 75 Dually build
Well I'm bummed... Not going to be able to go to LST this year. The truck as you see was just about ready to roll except for some minor items to install. That show will be there next year and there are other shows I want to attend this year too. I hope all my friends have a blast there and are safe coming home.
Stay tuned... |

Re: 75 Dually build
I'm guessing not enough time to get it done & road-ready for an >8hr trip.

Re: 75 Dually build
No it was not the truck, I had something come up and simply could not attend. Next year it will have to be. Who know I might even throw another color on it!
