Mopar - D Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Pat I think I've used the shortest option on the frame length. You are correct you can go shorter if you want too on your frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergeB Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Hi Dan!A front grill will not be cut? To paint its chrome? Paint "Alklad"?Wipers too would change. Edited January 24, 2016 by SergeB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Started some clean up on the head lights. I used a drill bit to cut out the resin lense to allow the clear lense to fit in. Here's the before and after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Looking good Dan! The resin headlights are a nice touch for added realism. If I may ask, where did you purchase the PE for the exhaust shields? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpreadAxle Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Interesting project. I never knew about this truck or any being built. I only ever saw long nose Big Horns. Now I know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Are you planning to open the holes and glue the mesh behind or cut the whole thing out and fabricate new ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Pat , I'm undecided on the grill at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 After looking at the stacks with the PE shields they looked good but I used stacks that already had the shields so my diameter on the stacks were to big. Sean was kind enough to point this out also for me too so I've used some 3/8" diameter tubing for the mufflers I've started adding the support brackets I may need to trim the PE as well. Here's where I'm at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
