Your work is impressive!

 

Thanks! you tooo!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the confidence boost everyone!

 

anything new done to this one yet ?

im hoping to see some nice new pics

 

Cool build!! Keep up the good work.

 

I have the interior totally sound deadened and the dash about together, I'll try to post some pics of that. But Its still at my shop at my job (can't do too much there) Its coming home in the next few weeks. 82 DAYS till Torque Fest 2013, I better get hustlin!

 

Been Doing a little sound deadening!



Even inside the quarters!

 

Also I finished up the Engine wiring, These two pics show how the alt. wire and temp wire disappear!

 

Ain't that the fuckin truth! Badass

 

coming along superbly and would be interested how that sound deadening works out as im looking for some for my 50 pickup

great work as usual

 

Makin some good progress!!!

 

So, I finally got the car back home to where I can continue Fab and paint.. I cut the hood in half to make it a one piece hood with no seam, and I quickly realized I have short ass arms. I can't reach the whole seam to dolly it out! Aint that a bitch when you want to get work done and you have to wait for a friend just to hold a dolly!!! However, I'm like a kid in a candy store now that i'm back out here with my car!

 

great news

 

Awesome news buddy! Looking forward to some more progress!

Great idea on hiding engine wiring!

 

Heading Home!

 

Before It Got there, I started with the hood. I wanted to make it a one piece, but I also did NOT want a seam when the hood was opened, so i cut it in half and got rid of the seam. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics of the hood welded back up yet, I need someone to help dolly before metal finishing..

 

Then, It was on to the bumpers. I've been excited to get going on these, especially the rear beings i've collected 4 or 5 bumpers I planned on using to make one out of .. here is a few pics, but i'm still currently working on it. The front bump will come later once I get the whole front end fit and finished.


Yeah, Its going to be A TON of metal finishing!!!!!!



Obviously, its no where near finished so there is a lot of tweaking and enhancing to do yet, but its a good start.

 

Cool. Hope to see this at TorqueFest.

Me Too!

 

MEEEE THREEEE! I live 3 miles from where Tfest is being held this year, I'll push the damn thing there and drop it for the weekend the way it sits if I have to!

 

Enjoying the ride, nice work.

 

DAMB!! That's some really nice metal fab work.

 

Wow , hats off to you for all the fab work involved ! 👍👍

 

keep it up tim, cant wait to see the hood finished.

 

cant waite to see more on the bumpers..wish i was close to a chromeing shop cause i always wanted to build a custom bumper.. great work..

 

Bumper. (cont.)


"Gravel Guard" I used the stock one, just cut 98% of it off and tossed it

 

A lot more tweaking and filling welds, ect later and I did the exhaust cutouts

 

My Buddy from DPI Finished up the Exhaust to come out the cuts..

 

Now, I've been working on Panel Alignment and getting the rest of the rust and welding on the body taken care of so I can Get the front end mounted where it really needs to be.



Pretty safe to say I should have tossed this fender. It was like cottage cheese when I pulled the inches of mud off it to begin with. Sometimes having $Zero Is a real pain in the ass, but you tend to learn more that way!

Door Gaps are about dead on... Now


I have the above pic finished, but don't have a pic of it for some reason
