very nice!!!! Looking GREAT!

tre5 · 05-16-2011, 10:03 PM

More progress. The steering is done, doors are done, transitions to the a-pillars and quarter panels are done, and the dash is done. Almost there...

VA72C10 · 05-16-2011, 10:43 PM

Very nice!!!

tre5 · 05-16-2011, 10:49 PM

I should explain the dash just in case people are wondering. The sheet metal part of the dash is actually a bit shorter in height that the factory dash. I did this because the center console will be fabricated out of wood/ fiberglass and will wrap up to the underside of the dash and flare out to the A pillars. So the completed dash will actually hang lower than the factory dash did by an inch or two.

killer work !

PHAT TONY · 05-17-2011, 10:01 AM

It's funny how, as in any project, being "done" means it's ready for 200 hrs of body, prep and paint. The metal work looks good, can't wait to see this thing shiny!

RatRod68 · 05-17-2011, 10:10 AM

Project is looking fantastic. I went through your build over on another site (the dropmember company, i don't remember). I really like the steering on this thing. That L-Series looks great in there too. I agree with Phat Tony, i can't wait to see it all shined up

tre5 · 05-17-2011, 10:56 AM

Thanks guys! Yeah, I look at it as stages. This stage is near completion. I am still going to have to blow everything apart for chrome and powder coat. The body shop and I are going to work together on that... kinda. We came up with a plan. He is going to get all the panel gaps good, do the rust repair, and get it all body worked. Then once he is really close to painting it he is going to pull the chassis from the cab and I will come get it and fully disassemble it for powder coat and chrome. The hopes are to have the full chassis and motor, plumed and wired, powder coated and chromed by the time the cab is painted. That way we can use his lift to set the body down on the frame. Then it will just need finish wiring and interior. Sounds easy enough, right LOL.

**oldman3** · 05-17-2011, 11:01 AM

Beautiful, beautiful work, looks so good.

Pop's C-10 · 05-17-2011, 11:35 AM

nice

tre5 · 05-18-2011, 10:21 PM

Got the pop up license plate and rear panel in...

The logo in in backwards purposely. It will be seen from the inside of the truck when the plate is on it.

I also pulled the motor out in order to finish shaving the firewall.

hotrodhomi · 05-18-2011, 10:25 PM

looks good

yfz450_0569 · 05-18-2011, 11:05 PM

I love frame builds.. but this one makes me want to scrap mine and start over lol. Awesome work!

tre5 · 05-20-2011, 12:36 AM

changed up the firewall a bit to make it look more asymmetrical...

got the door handles taken care of finally...

lastly, got the Grant Customs front roll pan on...

Oh, and 3 boxes full of goodies from The Hoffman Group showed up today containing some custom etched parts including seat belts...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 05-20-2011, 05:55 PM

Nice addition to the seat belts.

hotrodhomi · 05-20-2011, 05:55 PM

cool seat belts. Keep them out of the sun if you don't want to get burned.

tre5 · 05-22-2011, 11:43 PM
