  1. This build is looking soooo good
  2. Detailing is telling a great story, well done.
  3. Fitting the inter cooler lines to the larger turbo. It is a tight fit but does fit under the hood, barely. Now to detail them out and reinstall. Motor is in for the last time, radiator installed, next all the water/heater lines. Exhaust is going to be a challenge.
  4. This is gonna be one of those builds that when finished, you have to sit and stare at it for about an hour because it tells such a good story. Gonna be good.
  5. Thanks Scott those are good ideas, another option could be to run a brace back to the frame under the front fender apron
  6. It just keeps getting better, well done
  7. Thanks Joe for looking and prayers
  8. Nice start David, those tires really look great.
  9. Nice touch on those seats, battery boxes look the part, well done.
  10. Another killer build, well done
  11. Agree, Was thinking about that very idea, let you know how that goes.
  12. Detailing done on the interior, a look thru the back window. Now I wish I had finished the back of the seats, but not seen when assembled.
  13. Broke another rule, I chromed the steering column and steering wheel. Also got my tall shifter made and installed. The one I seen on the interweb had a blue custom transparent shifter knob, so I cut down a red runner from a parts tree and polished the top.
  14. Wanted the chrome for radiator clamps, let ya know how that goes. Second, one of my favorite truck color combos is a black truck with silver panels and really thin red pinstripe between the black and gray, hence the tape.
  15. The finger nail tape arrived today. It measures .035 width and is extremely thin. It comes with 25 roles (3 in various chrome) colors. Some colors I will never use but for the 5 bucks I spent, I’ll just toss them. Will do some experiments to see how this stuff works or I wasted 5 bucks.
  16. Now ya gotta add spray nozzles to the cowl. I thought you would eventually run out of ideas for detailing, oooohhh silly me. 😂🤣
  17. Oohhh man, I am liking this build, right up my alley. Glad to see someone else breaking all the rules. Sounds like a great Resto Rod truck build. Gonna follow along.
  18. From a design perspective, that truck has a lot of square lines to it. Just my 2 cents, I think square headlights would look good.
  19. This bumper is kicking my…….. it is bent plastic and it keeps moving. You can see the gap on passenger side fender. Oh, this is the third bumper I have made so far.
