Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
Here are a few pic's of an up and comming project. It is a 68 step side 2wd build I will be starting on in a few weeks for afellow board member. Alot of cab work was started by another shop and now it is getting to be time to finish it all up.
What has been started: Shaved front drip rail. Shaved and reformed side drips. Welded rear roof line. Floor and rocker repair. Replaced a small section of the inner windshield area. Total paint strip and primmed. Started to set door gaps. Rebuilt door hinges. What I will be doing/re-doing: Finish or fix everything listed above. Create 3/16" door gaps everywhere. Get the body ready for finish (pull and metal work all dings and dents) Do a full "show car" fire wall shave and reforming. And a whole lot more. I will let the owner fill you in on the rest of this plans if he want to let tings out of the bag! Kevin LFD Inc. Last edited by Rokcrln; 08-09-2006 at 11:21 PM. |

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
As Kevin stated he will soon work his magic on my cab. I would love to tell you all what is in store, but I think that pictures tell the story better. So you will have to wait for the play by play as Kevin does his work. In addition to the modification Kevin mention, we plan a few suttle mods. As for the project name Lemon Drop. The frame has a four/six DROP, and I plan on painting the body YELLOW. I am thinking of personalized plates "URN DROP" 18's in the front and 20's in the rear. I hope to have the truck in paint by the end of summer.
Stay tuned for progress updates from me or Kevin. Thanks again Kevin.

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
Awesome dude!!! keep the pics coming!!! Question for you...when putting it back together does the cowl go on prior to the fenders? My painter flaked on me and I just don't see how to get the cowl on with fenders all bolted up???

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
No the fender go on first then the cowl then hood. But before you tighten down your fender make sure all your gaps are set how you want them because once your cowl is on you can not get to the bolts to change things.
Heres a tip for ya! Go the the local paint store and get a roll of 2" blue or green masking tape and put over all your edges(door, fender, hood) where two parts might touch while adjusting things. This will give you a little protection against chips. Do not use the regular masking tape as it has too much glue and can pull soft paint and it leaves a residue behind as well. The best to use in my opinion is the green but it is more money then the blue. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
Not to steal the thread, but Kevin - Is welding the upper rear seam the best way to clean that up? I would like to do that too, and was wondering what the best way is?
jugernot - From what I've seen so far on this board, your cab is in the BEST hands possible for sheet metal work!!!

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
Sneaky, I saw how you slipped those orphan kid shots in there. That was brilliant. I thought wow, the owner of lemon drop changed dircetions and was going with a yellow Bronco. You forgot to stretch the quarter to fit the 24" wheels in the back when you bag and bodydrop that thing. Nice work Kevin.

Re: Project Lemon Drop: anything but stock!
I got some time tonight for the fire wall part 2. The pass side now matches the drivers side for a much better look. I will get two the wire rail in the next day or so.
