I did get the doors hung recently. I'll try to get some pics up showing that. It's been pretty slow going on this project as we have been working on wifey's Nova, getting ready for Cruisin the Coast !

Very sweet build! I love the creativity and the attention to detail! Great job!

chapster · 10-25-2010, 08:47 PM

sweet build, (no better color than black)

I would love to see pics of the bed mocked up with both sized rear MT's if you have.
I bought the 29"x15"x20" last year but have not been able to see them in the wheel wells since it took 9 months for my wheels to get here.

VA72C10 · 10-25-2010, 10:01 PM

We need pics

thesledhead · 10-28-2010, 04:57 PM

Badass !!!!!! I love the seat

spike38 · 10-29-2010, 02:11 AM

Very cool build!!!!

STOCKISH · 10-31-2010, 01:08 AM

Absolutely amazing. Great work man. Keep at it.

**Bowtie468** · 11-11-2010, 10:52 PM

Hey guys, progress has been pretty slow the last month. Color sanding on the cab and doors is pretty much done. I also installed the cab divider molding. It polished out pretty nicely, as you can see a "before and after" in the pic.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-12-2010, 01:01 AM

Very nice looking build so far with lots of meticulous attention to the details! With regards to your 68-71 big block engine towers, where did you find the rubber mounts? Thanks!

This build is looking really sick!!! I like everything about it, especially the 3rd brake light. One question tho, how did you manage to mount it? A pik from the inside would be great.

Not sure if I have a pic from the inside , but I did have to cut out a section of sheetmetal to get it mounted up. The light is a 2pc assembly where the lens/diffuser is epoxied in place from the inside and protrudes out past the surface of the sheetmetal . Studs must be welded on the inside to attach the light assembly. The lens is then sanded flush with the basecoat .
