Wake Brittany up and put her work!!!!!! I think the motivational problem may be too many toys in the garage and driveway, I have a little room for the 4 wheeler in my garage!!!!

77chris03 · 05-30-2011, 12:54 AM

i think i may have to agree with you on that one....if i could sell them....id have more room....and more money to put towards the truck. i love my quads but i dont ride them like i want to and now i have no where to ride them. ... oh i woke her up and her response was...you let me sleep how long? and you took pictures? uh duh...haha

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-10-2011, 08:41 AM

Im wondering why you added that piece to a beautiful firewall? Dont get me wrong I know what its used for but there are other ways that would have been way cleaner.

itll be smooth when its finished. One of the reasons i did this was the simple fact of....i didnt know what to do!! lol

it was the only thing i had in mind as far as what to do for the steering column and the brake booster. Please note that the firewall was cut back an inch.

Slick67 · 07-11-2011, 01:00 PM

Good to see an update! That cab roofline looks awesome! That is the first really good side shot that I have seen of one......it's sweet!!! Keep movin on it Chris!!

77chris03 · 07-12-2011, 08:52 PM

i got some better pics of the rear roof line. very very nice blend

Slick67 · 07-12-2011, 10:16 PM

but i did finally get rid of this....

Slick67 · 07-12-2011, 10:34 PM

Rough!!! Luckily we know what the final outcome will be.

68 TT · 07-13-2011, 04:09 PM

Nice progress on the project. Keep it up. I know how hard it is to stay motivated on one project. I call it Vehicular ADD.

If you added a 45 degree sloped piece all the way around the booster mount addition it would clean up the look a lot and make it look like less of an addition.

Hduramax · 08-14-2011, 07:53 PM

This may or may not be a dumb question or maybe I missed it in reading, but what is the extra thick plate on the firewall for around the steering and brake booster area? sorry if i just missed it . Nice looking build by the way
