I'm sorry if I missed it, but are you going to paint the chassis? Is this just final mock-up? Great work!

Zoomin · 11-04-2012, 06:27 PM

Eric, that is so sweet, it makes me forget I can't see that awesome frame! So many neat features to take in.

What kind of wood are you thinking?

prostreet1967 · 11-04-2012, 08:41 PM

sorry to hear about your mom. hope all goes well.

also, was curious i thought the tank in the bed near cab is fuel tank. kinda confused because i see a fuel door on drivers bed side.

toocrazy · 11-04-2012, 09:22 PM

replace the wood with some clear acrylic and leave the strips so you can see that awesome frame!! Would have to agree the wood doesn't fit with the rest of the truck. I will keep watching to see what you come up with. thanks for sharing.

The fuel tank is in the bed the original tank was going to be under the bed but changed it so I will shave the door later just not now.

Its not using oak I will use canary wood I am using different center strips the complete center of the bed is plexi. I dont want to use full strip of acrylic it has been done a thousand times once the wood is changed and the strips are changed it will look great but thanks I appreciate your advice

*truckmanloco* · 11-04-2012, 11:08 PM
