This has to be one of my Top 5 builds on here. Really kool truck. Clean looks. Great stance. Awesome wheel and tire choice. Innovation beyond belief and just a really classy ride.

Ta2Don · 10-19-2013, 11:50 PM

Missed ya at Clem's...

Hope the car show was a blast...

We need Pics...

sorry havent been on in a while. ya sorry again that i didnt make it. looks like it was a blast. i could spend all day just looking at cool stuff at clem's place

we did have a good time at the car show!! got to cruise down and nice curvy road to get there and the truck did great. its even getting about 13mpg on the highway so im pretty happy with that since i have a bigblock without overdrive

i didnt take very many pics because i didnt bring my camera but here are a few pics i took with my phone

this was a good looking ford!! this is a static drop. i dont know how he drives this thing

coulter · 11-03-2013, 04:05 PM

been getting a little work done this weekend.. ive got my dash trim/extention piece mocked up. still some more work to do and then start polishing it..

here is how it starts

didnt take any pics of the bending procress but i just used a piece of pipe i had laying around to make the curve. it was a workout to bend it by hand

here is a mockup. i ran out of the stainless pieces because i ended up going with a smaller gap in between them then i originally planed. im going to cover up the switch box with the stainless strips to so it will look like 1 piece

what you guys think?

That's super cool! Many folks (like me) would kill for your fab skills.

chad64chevy · 11-03-2013, 04:16 PM

that dash looks sweet, and that last black ford in your pics I seen him driving around down here yesterday, lol

Maybe I'll try when I grow up someday.

Seriously, I wish I had the resources or a place to try, but that's not an option right now. My wife and I are setting a goal to "settle" in somewhere next year & hopefully have a house. I'm pretty creative as well, so the potential could possibly be there. In the meantime, I'll just keep admiring fellas like yourself.

chad64chevy · 11-03-2013, 04:29 PM

after looking at your pics of it, I think I know the guy that owns it, it was bare metal looking this summer,

coulter · 11-03-2013, 04:30 PM

ya it was he was telling me that he was driving it raw not too long ago

chad64chevy · 11-03-2013, 04:34 PM

ya, ok i know him then, did he have his coupe there?

stersam · 11-03-2013, 05:33 PM

Beautiful dash work

**clemdaddy** · 11-03-2013, 08:16 PM

too cool on the dash skirt. never seen the buick grill brought inside, but you got it down.
the bed is looking good also and i'm sure you'll figure out the supports.

too cool, i keep going back to that dash pic...

Ta2Don · 11-03-2013, 08:28 PM

Gotta agree with Clem… I thought of a Buick grille as well, Looks Killer!!!

Mark your Calendar now for Clem's next October… My countdown gives me 11 months to get my rig finished and on the road...

Lots of work to do!!!

Alan's Classic · 11-03-2013, 09:44 PM

Beautiful work as always!!

JJ's Sierra Grande · 11-05-2013, 01:10 AM

dash skirt looks killer.
I think I'd be getting a little confused though with the two shifters, could see me putting the wrong one in park. lol

coulter · 11-05-2013, 10:43 AM

got some more work done today
went for round 1 on the buffing. still some spot that needs some work but i threw in the towel

all i know is that when the sun hits this thing im gonna need a welding hood to drive it!!!
i made some parts to turn my old column shifter into a train horn manual actuator!!!

you can kinda see how it all mounts up

just a radom cool pic

As many times as I've looked over your build… Somehow I missed the Coulter touch on the Hood Latch...

Now I've got to go back and look for more of those awesome details that elevate your build...

McMurphy · 11-05-2013, 02:45 PM

Dang dude you slay me !!
Your dash grill/extension looks totally awesome!
Glad the other guys were able to recall the Buick influence, I knew I had seen something with a dash like that before, but I would never have figured out what it may have been.

It is looking top notch so far, I really dig it !!!
