Finally getting back to working on this thing again. I got the heater stuff in and today I managed to get the cab and clip primed. It's not perfect but it's just a DD. I'm going to try to get the bed primed this week, then just a few details and she should be road worthy!

**thelonerife** · 03-29-2009, 11:57 PM

Looks nice Mike. I like the color too ha. Were you puting a fleetbed on it?

BACKYARD88 · 03-30-2009, 09:14 AM

I decided to leave the step on this one and put a fleet on the bagged one.

my67chevytruck · 03-30-2009, 10:35 AM

keep at it...

Mike Bradbury · 03-30-2009, 11:42 AM

If I had not seen the progress I would had thought you purchased a new hood and fenders. Looking great for just a DD

BACKYARD88 · 03-30-2009, 02:13 PM

Well, I fixed the big stuff but left the dings, gives it a little more character. I'm going for a rat rod esque look I think

OARNGESI · 03-30-2009, 02:52 PM

Thats looking really good

Spray-Bomb · 05-04-2009, 12:37 PM

Is thing done yet

BACKYARD88 · 05-06-2009, 01:05 PM

Working on it. Been working on the mangled left rear fender. It needs as much work as the whole rest of the truck lol

**LockDoc** · 05-06-2009, 10:18 PM

Hey Mike,

I never think about checking the builds board. Here I thought you had probably been loafing all winter. Man was I wrong..... That DD is looking great. Keep up the good work.

We will have to get together next time I'm down that way.

MrBeast · 05-07-2009, 12:39 AM

It is looking good.

BACKYARD88 · 05-11-2009, 12:59 PM

Just give me a holler next time you're coming down Leon!

BACKYARD88 · 07-22-2009, 11:07 AM

Digging this one out of the vault...again

I got the right fender that has been sitting primered in the corner for a couple months bolted back on. Still haven't worked up the courage to finish the left fender

Hopefully I'll get to spend a little time on it this weekend.

BACKYARD88 · 09-10-2009, 02:02 PM

Got the other fender cleaned up a bit and epoxied. It's not perfect but it looks OK.

Also got all of the lights and electrical sorted out.

woodridge · 09-10-2009, 02:07 PM

Cool Mike. Can you come to my place for a while?

BACKYARD88 · 09-10-2009, 02:08 PM

Today I picked up the tags and registration. The steps and tailgate are epoxied and waiting at home. Hopefully I'll get a shakedown run in tonight and it will make it's maiden voyage to work in the morning!
Lets see if this Youtube vid. works

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-10-2009, 09:47 PM

She sounds hella good..

nuke1 · 09-11-2009, 12:00 PM

Truck looks and sounds killa, what do you have for mufflers on that thing, or did i miss that in the thread, sorry if i did. great stance, just all around bad *ss. I am jealous of the rims though, those are the ones i wanted for my truck when i was 17, never could muster up the cash back them, looks great and good job!

IIRC, Mike is running 2 spintech mufflers......

Truck is looking good Mike....

BACKYARD88 · 09-11-2009, 05:40 PM

Thanks everyone! The mufflers are Spintechs, it had long headers with 2.5" pipes and 3" dumps.

**thelonerife** · 09-13-2009, 12:39 AM

sounds good Mike. you need to drive it up here.

RCbowtie69 · 10-11-2009, 12:20 AM

just checking out your site, you came a long way with it, looking & sounding great, keep up the hard work

hotrod 80 · 10-11-2009, 12:04 PM

Awesome , glad to hear you got it going . Its fun driving them too.

MrBeast · 10-11-2009, 01:28 PM

I like it, it has turned into a good looking truck, I was actually up your way a couple of weeks back, spent some time working on my new 3500hd at a friends place.

Wish I had thought about it, I could have swung by and checked your truck out.

BACKYARD88 · 10-12-2009, 05:35 PM

Thanks again guys. Been a blast to drive so far!
