Awesome build man!!! you have some serious skills im diggin eveything you designed especially the interior it looks mean!

pharmd · 12-13-2009, 04:19 PM

Truly inspiring build...can't wait to see it running.

VA72C10 · 01-04-2010, 11:56 PM

Joining your build late....very nice work so far. Like how you've stuck with your concepts and made them work out well!!!! Going to be an awesome streetrod when complete. Any more work on those inners???

Inverter · 01-05-2010, 02:32 AM

Thanks y'all,I appreciate the encouraging words.
I haven't done anymore w/ the inners,still plannin the same idea.Im still waiting on the bed to get back from the body shop so I can get all the sheetmetal lined up and then start wiring everything.

I know it's boring to read a bunch of text about what Im planning to do next but that's all I got. Maybe I will post some pics,tomorrow,of the truck on the floor. It looks so good,even in it's half finished state.

Thanks for your interest.

Not boring reading text about a sweet build man. Like someone posted in my thread. Progress is progress.

Inverter · 01-07-2010, 12:17 AM

Some pics to look at.
Checked on the bed.Its getting wiped and blocked,,,about time.

Fab'd an aluminum bracket to secure the rad.

These are the trans. cooler lines.

Inverter · 01-07-2010, 12:28 AM

figured out how to assemble hoses w/o marring up the fittings.

The front crossmember lays flat,then theres a slight positive rake.Thats how I like it.

The drivers side collector is a 1/4" from contacting the ground when aired out.After I ground 1/4" off the flange.

that bed looks awesome

VA72C10 · 01-07-2010, 01:24 AM

Looks great!

scotts62 · 01-07-2010, 08:13 AM

Looking good!!!!!

0331grunt · 01-07-2010, 08:47 AM

Looking awesome!!!

JohnC · 01-07-2010, 09:21 AM

Looks awesome man. I love that radiator bracket. That is nice and clean.

Inverter · 01-07-2010, 10:22 AM

Thanks Fellerz,
I was excited to see the bed getting some attention.Its been getting pushed aside for a while.
I used some super dense studio monitor foam under the rad. The radiator is pressed down into it tight and the top bracket holds it in place. Seems like it'll work well.

Im not superstitious so,I will say that Im planning on finishing the truck this year.
It doesnt seem like its been 25 months sense I tore into it. Time moves faster as you get older....

63chevyll · 01-08-2010, 06:21 PM

You know.? "WOW" upside down is "MOM"

Im going to check on things tomorrow,Heres some pics to tide yall over.

Inverter · 01-24-2010, 04:38 PM

This is my favorite recent pic. I think its a good snapshot of a "garage built Hot Rod/Truck Enthusiast's lifestyle ".
As mentioned,in another thread,,its a sickness,a therapy,an addiction but its also a quality of life thats worth every hour spent. And when your done,you can drive it down the street and blow peoples minds.
Yea,,I had a moment of reflection. K,Im done...

VA72C10 · 01-24-2010, 04:45 PM

That's great man!!!

scotts62 · 01-24-2010, 05:37 PM
