Nice build, now I need to get back on my 63

 

sorry i missed this
thanks, now get to work...

thanks...

a little update...
got a new tailgate from npg. not as bad as everyone says. fit good and blocked out nice. its only on primer for now, but fit is good as is. got the hood all shaved of unwanted stuff, and primed up also. awaiting to blast my latches then paint all the hood hardware up.
also installed a new chrome front bumper.

other then that just been driving the piss outta her.
logged about 4k miles so far.

 

great job on the truck ryno.....can't wait to see it in person @ the roundup....those trucks are one of my personal favorites,,,and yours kicks ass..

 

Am I counting correctly, you got all this done in around 5 months or so? Amazing. Do you work a regular job and work on your projects after hours? I can't seem to get even a 1/3 of that much work done in 5 months!!! Great build and again, I need to get back on my 63 Unibody. Are you going to be at The Roundup this year, I would love to check it out!!!

 

Where did you get your tailgate?

 

Thanks see ya at the lsru!

Basically really worked on it solid for about 3 weeks. Haven't touched it for the past few months .I have a shop and worked on the truck long days to get thus far. Planned it out that I had customers projects in down states so I could take the time to work this in.

The tailgate is from national parts group. I believe it's a Dennis carpenter product. Like I said it is pretty good. I've read bad words about them, but for 400 bucks,by thevtime you buy metal,fab it all it just didn't seem cost effective for this project to build one. If yours is at that level,then maybe a custom one is in order. But I have a feeling most that bitch can't do any better.

I will be at lsru in the uni this year,unless someone needs it more then I do!?

 

A little too low for me but what do you want for it? : ) Can't believe I don't know you.. Did you ever come around Premier Truck in old wagons or something??

 

pm me if your serious
do an intro
yes i get some stuff from premier, probably have drive my wife's 60 wagon there, or maybe Cadillacs,Pontiac, etc...

 

Ryno, I just came upon your build. Great job. I built mine several years ago and thought I had the only one around. Mine is low but yours is really on the ground. I "Cd" the frame and flipped the spring perches on the rear and used a Chrysler Cordoba front end. Keep it up.

 

That's a pretty sweet build. I can't wait for mine to be on the ground! Any updates?

 

Thanks fellas, for the good words.
I've been busy with other stuff and just been driving the ol girl. I have been slowly working on getting the design together fir the center council ,but that's about it.

Hopefully next week install the hood and finish up the stereo and council.

 

Hey when you are done with the rear wheels i am looking for a pair. Truck is looking great. I bet it turns into more than just a shop truck!!!!

 

What are you looking for? Size?

 

Nice work ryno. So nice to see another Uni saved from the metal recyclers. I'm subscribed

 

not too much of an update...
got the kick panels made up of fiberglass mat/mdf/t shirts/resin






no build pics of the center console.
mdf frame/ fiberglass mat, resin and lots of big flake!





sub box amp rack.




got some huge flake from flake fx, detonator on the lay it low forum, i think hes a member here too. square .25 silver. this stuff is huge, looks killer in the sun light.

mixed it in reg clear and shot it with an iwata 3.0 tip.

 

Lookin good Ryno.....will this thing be making it to the roundup?

 

You're the only guy I know with a flaked yard......truly, the man who has everything
Awesomeness

 

Can't wait to see it again man, looking good!

 

thank you!
yes the ol girl will be Austin bound in a few weeks!

no shit, that flake sure makes a mess, especially in 20- 30 mph winds.
destroyed my pile up t!


thought maybe, just maybe if i threw some flake on my arms, i might, and i stress might, be half as cool, as the coolest mother fucker i know!

see ya in austin, as always if you want to get a little closer to austin, your more than welcome to crash at the pad for teh night.

 

I think metal flake is closely related to anti-seize. Such a small amount gets spread all over the shop and lasts for months after you use it.

 

that my friend is the perfect comparison.
you making it to Austin this year?

 

Lookin good my friend, love this truck. The red windows was a nice touch. Gary

 

Dude, was that YOU I saw at Deja-Vu??? I thought it was just one of the 'three ugly ones'....

 

Reminds me of a Dancer I use to date. She left glitter behind everwhere she touched something Great progress on the truck man. I'm digging those uni bodies.

 

Yeah, unless something bad comes up. I am bringing Anthony's 3W out.

NeedLouvers? is supposed to come out too with some samples and stuff. We are intending to throw my 57 Triumph and Chips CB350 in the bed of the truck to bomb around town on. Little more cool than stylin' in the 03 Silverado!

 

Around the Strip clubs that stuffs called "Divorce Dust".. haha

 

thanks gary. see ya in austin, you bringing the vette??? sorry.

i wish so.

sounds like a plan

love me some dirty strippers.... and my wife.

 

i know this may not "fit" into the "theme" of this board, but heres some installed pics......
