  1. Thanks man I’m figuring it out I’ve learned quite a bit from this truck so I won’t have to redo like I have lol
  2. Got the frame put together still needs some paint work but got everything mocked up and started cutting out for trans tunnel and finished cutting out the bed for the fuel cell pretty decent progress today
  3. I also ordered my frame kit from iceman and all I have to say is ditto…awesome product
  4. Hey Pat got any updates? 👀👀 this is a super cool build and I’m watching your frame building for educational purposes lol 😂
  5. Oh snap learned something new I always thought they as same length bed thanks man!!!
  6. You mean the little box on the side of the passenger bed? I plan to do away with that using putty and a little sanding… I haven’t had the chance to really dig in and check out the parts though does it actually have a box in it or just the door on the bed side? I build at my brothers house so the kit isn’t accessible at the moment and thanks for that site I’ll be ordering from them regardless a few things I want 😂😂
  7. 😍😍 looks awesome perfect for the 2000s decade
  8. This a beautiful build thanks for sharing the process took a few notes myself!
  9. Yay for an answer I didn’t have to ask 😂😂😂
  10. For me, as far as the interior goes, I’ve always been a fan of keeping the “work truck” style that they used back then… so when I think of custom I try to keep that feel… which is why as a ford guy I like to think, ok… if the king ranch was made in 50s 60s 70s what would that be like? Because they actually worked trucks back, then so what would I like to have in the truck if I drove it for the truck itself not a $80,000-$100000 status symbol that the driver thinks is necessary…For old schools I like to keep them basic as possible… just my.02 the seat is the centerpoint and everything else should blend around it… I like a lot of neutral colors and splashes of colors
  11. Don’t forget to turn tire tread the right way 😉 I’m pretty sure you would but when I see finished 1:1 or little scale it makes my eye twitch and the ocd start kicking lol
  12. I’m doing away with the chassis it came with and got an iceman v1 frame
  13. I’ve already got 2 more models lol 😂
  14. Ford guy approved 💪🏻💪🏻 I’m building the same kit I hope mine turns out clean as this one
  15. Love it 😍 simple and clean I had a bagged 1:1 hardbody back when that me and buddy built never got finish it (life) but I’ll have another lowrider one day
  16. This is with a brush over black primer (not the included brush👎🏻) smoothed the primer to 1000 grit and reapplied a couple times then went with it… we plan to try it with airbrush soon
  17. 😍😍😍 that’s beautiful
  18. Guys I’m a noob trying to learn… that is what this post is about… I love you guys but let’s just post about our experiences… I think I have an adhesive idea I’m going to try but let’s get along and help me and other new guys get better and we’ve gotten to a different path in this post
  19. New guy but I used masking tape and painted over it on my seat inserts
  20. Will do!
  21. Noted thanks for the info… is there a specific glue to use in this application or is it just a pain in the butt either way?
