Who's Dino? I don't have the Grand Poobah handshake yet.

jhrusk · 11-27-2018, 01:53 PM

Dino's Chevy only. Google will pull it up

aggie91 · 11-27-2018, 03:32 PM

I say leave the textured Bowtie as is.

duallydude63 · 12-01-2018, 03:45 PM

if u decide to make some more emblems i would love to buy a set !!! dont change them !!!!!!!

TJ's Chevy · 12-24-2018, 01:00 AM

Man am I late for an awesome build. Looking sharp!

**straight6chevyguy** · 12-31-2018, 09:27 PM

Wow I'm late to. But this is really cool build!

atvpro · 01-16-2019, 02:29 PM

So this is where I'm going with my instrument cluster for the Ponderosa. At this point, the only question that I'm struggling with, is that I would like to integrate a boost gauge and tachometer into this cluster . I have a space on each side that I could put them into, and still make it look Fairly Stock. Any thoughts? This was just put together to See what it would look like. All gauges will be restored.

Lokin4AReason · 01-16-2019, 03:19 PM

what kind of door(s) did you use for the rear ... ?

besides that, its coming along nicely and a great build .....

AJCK87 · 01-16-2019, 04:34 PM

Very cool! Yeah those two pods on either side of the Speedo would be ideal placement for other gauges. Nice touch with the body colour match on the dash.

You guys planning on doing a 1960 to 1963 crewcab?

COCONUTS · 01-24-2019, 03:51 PM

Always late to the party....but I’m caught up now.

here is how it was done on the big trucks, you could do a boost gauge with the same font as the air gauge in this pic...

atvpro · 02-08-2019, 04:58 PM

Well, I think I might need to make a hood grabbing tool. What do you think?

jonzcustomshop · 02-08-2019, 05:24 PM

you're gonna need some sort of hidden fold up ladder under the bumper, you won't be able to check the fluids either!

**Clyde65** · 02-08-2019, 08:20 PM

Make the hood power closing!!

atvpro · 02-11-2019, 11:43 AM

Well, if everything goes to plan, the bumper should come down to about halfway covering the upper roller. Thank you @warnindustries for your support on this project.

atvpro · 02-12-2019, 03:07 PM

I'm so glad that I decided to go with a silver bumper. I think Chrome would have been a little too much bling. Everything South of the bumper will be black except for of the roller fairly. This badboy should be going to the pain body shop next week.

**straight6chevyguy** · 02-12-2019, 03:49 PM

looking good!

atvpro · 02-17-2019, 03:59 PM

Thought you guys would enjoy a couple engine Bay picks. I have a couple things left to do. Turbo sock, temperature sensor switch relay for the fans, secure the dipstick, Run the radiator overflow tube And install the WARN control unit.

atvpro · 02-19-2019, 05:37 PM

Catch the Video on our Facebook link below:

Just finished up installing the throttle pedal for the Ponderosa. Most of you will recognize it as a 69 through 72 Chevy throttle pedal. Slightly modified, but yes. For those of you that notice the holes around the radio knobs, look the other way! Somehow we missed Them, but we're going to be putting a nice set of Chrome rings to cover them up. Yeah, it pisses me off that we missed it. This is one of those times I just have to make lemonade, and move on. The motor has only been running for about 5 minutes, not even warmed up yet.

**straight6chevyguy** · 02-20-2019, 02:46 PM

Can you please post your video on youtube or some place us non facebookers can watch it?

atvpro · 02-21-2019, 06:55 PM

Well, when you have this kind of horse power, And obviously this kind of traction, you definitely have to have traction bars. Otherwise you just make pretzels out of your leaf Springs. Didn't see anything out there that looked right for this build, so we just went ahead and built our own.

atvpro · 02-21-2019, 06:56 PM

I tried to save it in a way that it would look decent but it isn't that great of a video. I be posting more to Youtube and Pinterest soon.

Nice Job on the traction bars.
Those are Tough.
Will there be step bars that are custom built also?
