Spent quite a bit of time in the garage today but didn't get too much done.

I DID get the hood hinges welded up and got the hood on the truck...
The Porterbuilt hinges are pretty much idiot proof (as evidenced by the fact that I was successful today).... super slick... super simple... solid.. smooth..

My son was a big help... actually.. he did most of the work.. thanks bud..

a few shots...

Then I spent 2 hours staring into the bed trying to scheme wth I'm gonna do.... still undecided..

Semi-Random Question of the day..

Can 2 tone paint w/ High and Low Chrome work with shaved markers, emblems, fuel filler, door handles and 1 pc glass..?

Or is it an abomination?

??

Delmo · 01-08-2012, 04:36 PM

Nice work on the hood bro. Aren't those hinges sweet?

I think I have to say no to the shaved with high low chrome. Doesn't work for me.

ya.. I agree... It's kind of like it's just missing something(s).. wasn't sure if it was just me or not..

I'm trying to figure out options IF I were to someday lose the flames. I can't see myself unshaving the markers/handles etc... so... thought I'd photoshop this to see what it would look like..

lowdownstar · 01-08-2012, 05:47 PM

X2 "say no to the shaved with high low chrome" i think it looks lost. i think the truck look sweet as is, can't wait to hear that motor!!!

no.. I think the flames are staying for the foreseeable future.
I typically don't think of these trucks as being the "right" vehicle to flame... but I can't really justify the expense to change them on this one now that they are there.

Delmo · 01-08-2012, 10:04 PM

Stick did you notch the bottom of your core support for the body drop? Nice ergonomics putting the hood on by the way. Lift with your back and hold your breath, that's what my Dad taught me.

I haven't yet no.. but I am going to.. it looks like it could be relieved about a 1/2 inch and I'll have a ton of room. It might be different on various vehicles depending what body mount bushing/rubber thingys you have.

I AM the most ergonomically astute dude you know. It's crazy you know.. Pete taught me everything I know.

Pharaoh, meaning "Great House", or "High House" originally referred to the king's palace, but by the reign of Thutmose III (ca. 1479-1425 BC) in the New Kingdom, had become a form of address for the person of the king.[3]

Sorry i had to look it up!

Hi Kevin,

Glad to see your making progress again! The truck is looking amazing and cant wait to see it finished. Also a gentlemen and fellow Canadian by the name Jared aka romes20 may contact you for some questions.

Also as a side not it is great to get the kids involved! My 14 year old is begging to get started on the 68 Shorty I have been storing for a while.

Talk to you soon...

Regards,

Perry
