Looking good man!

Man, this is some killer work; don't know how I missed this thread before.

Bam, I doubt you'll be able to drive it very far....... Everyone is going to be stopping you, or driving real slow next to you gawking and trying to get you to pull over. That green is going to pop on those body lines!

Thats not a bad thing.lol

Due to my narrowed rearend I had to widen the new wheel tubs for the fleetside bed. I had some sheet metal laying around that I cut into long 2 inch wide stripes.




Very simple mod but someone may be interested in how I widened them so I posted it. I will post another pic of them as soon as I finish the welding and metal finishing.

As always, thanks for sharing the pics Bam. Appreciate you making time for the club.

The truck is moving along slowly, but its moving along.
First a mod I did to the inner fenders.
I welded up one of the valleys in the inner fender to use a s a wire loom for the electrical wire going to the front of the truck.

Here is the other side that will hold the wires.

Filler, primer, block sanded, and painted


Front Fenders





New Radiator

That looks so nice!

Bam, Awesome work, and you've got paint on so your progress is better than some of us :RobertHangsHisHead:

That just plain beautiful, you got that paint to lay down like glass!

That looks like big progress to me, anytime finish paint goes on it's big.

Wow, that's a great color too. Most unusual..

Thanks guys
