If you don't learn how to do it here you will definately learn what not to do.

We learn from our mistakes and I make plenty of them.

I put the hood on hold. I'll finish the rest of the truck and hopefully they will repop them by the the time I'm done.

Nice Alan. That is one scream'n mater.

What kind of work are you turning out over there?

Seriously though, that looks great. What the the plans for it? 22's, bags, stroker? Details man we need details.

I got my rockers the same place you did.

I can't tell you everything I plan to do to it. Gotta have some suspense

Good practice though

I don't have enough time now, but I did promise some shop time with the girls. You know I will have to make another for the other daughter. I'm actually enjoying it. Maybe they will cherish it when I'm gone. That is if they still like me after their teens. LOL

You darn tootin'. You never know what I will be working on next when you click on this build.

Strodder · 07-23-2010, 09:15 PM

Don't worry when they hit the 20's they will think your Kewl, and like you again.

ruffrida2005 · 07-23-2010, 10:31 PM

I see the money just pouring in on this one Alan. That looks so sweet.

daverod · 07-23-2010, 11:36 PM

Very kewl. Somthing about the back of the cab just doesn't look right though.

It's not a f#rd is it? Good to you spending time with the girls.

**Captainfab** · 07-24-2010, 01:26 AM

Kudos to you Alan for spending some time with your daughter. This is something you both will remember for a long time to come. Make the time whenever you can 'cause before you know it they'll be all grown up and out of the house.

my67chevytruck · 07-24-2010, 01:35 PM

Nice.

bubba327 · 07-27-2010, 12:04 AM

Way to go Alan . I like to have my daughters help me on projects.
Now they are bringing their friends over since our house is a fun place to hang out.

Be careful or she will be wanting to be drive your truck to school someday!!

fryer1979 · 07-29-2010, 04:42 AM

Now I gotta watch just to see how "mater" turns out. Very cool.

That's as close as I could get it.

It has turned into a much bigger project than I had anticipated.

They don't last long in the hot shop, but they are trying. If she wants to drive it that's even more reason not too finish it.

Me too.

Here is the latest pic. I air brushed the chrome wheels to give it the "Mater" look. The wheels and tires aren't mounted yet. Just sitting there for a glamour shot

Alan's Classic · 08-13-2010, 11:26 PM

It's nearly impossible to wipe filler in these temps/humidity. We should be getting a break in temp/humidity soon. I want to get my bed done and painted by (this) winter. I need some extra cash to get me a MAr-K T/G. I need to get a dolly made so I can set the bed off. I don't want to hit the cab with a sander or weld splatter. Sorry for the lame post, just keeping the spirit alive.

The pic is from last night. After working all day in a 100+ degree shop then come home and cool off I couldn't stay out there last night. I hope to work on 198Plus cab, my bed and Shannon's cab if he will come out of the house after trying to get over his fishing trip this weekend.

**Palf70Step** · 08-14-2010, 03:36 AM

I know the feeling. I want so bad to shoot some color on mine, but these temps and humidity are murder.

Oh well sit back, have a cold one and crank up the AC for now.

Strodder · 08-14-2010, 10:33 AM

It's been in the low 90's here with low humidity. Next week it's supposed to really get hot. I just cut the hole in the side wall of the shop to install a swamp cooler. It should work great in the dry desert.

It only got up to 85 today. Me and Shannon discussed makeing a bed dolly. It will be a tight fit in the shop. My truck with the bed off and 2 other cabs in a 30x30 with all of my crap too boot. We will make it work.

If I ever replace my AC in the house I will install it on the shop.

I uncovered it today it felt good to see it without plastic over it. Plus just to prove to y'all that I still have it.

Alan's Classic · 08-15-2010, 11:19 PM

I thought about building a bed dolly out of wood, but had this old ladder rack laying around. I might adapt it to hold my bed and put some wheels on it to roll it around. I'll have to reinforce it some.

daverod · 08-15-2010, 11:26 PM

I don't know how you put up with the heat. It gets 90 here and I'm dying.

I here Montana is cool this time of year.

Idaho has 100 degrees heat but desert humidity and is manageable to work in.

Thanks for the trivia, I have enough sweat glands to share with some pigs. So what is a "Sweat Hog"?

I was stationed up in Great Falls MT during the summer as well as Phoenix. I like it better there. But this is what I grew up with and can deal with it. My wife can't stand it.

Go with the smooth, then paint cooler letters in, saying what ever you want.

fryer1979 · 08-20-2010, 04:12 AM

I'll cast a vote for the "smoothed" tailgate. Hard to tell for sure but it almost looks like the script gate has the script panel held on by rivets. With as much work as you are doing to shape up and smooth down your truck, I think the script tailgate would just look unfinished. I agree with del66, paint your oun choice of lettering on the smooth tailgate. My .02
