man it was so hard to stay with this one, (not a tuner fan myself) but it gave me somthing to spra that testers laquer on.

are you going to wrap any fender around that rear wheel?

well finished it up. just a simple build for filler between others I used the testers laquer for the first time on this one thanks for looking , now back to "heavy chevy"

thats understandable. those rear tires are wicked wide! and I know you had a blast sanding them flat

hay bro thanks for the pick of the trucks assets. looks good from all directions. I see you decided to go without the side pipes. I will keep an eye open for this kit and maybe match it with my verticlly challenged kit and have a body dropped truck to tow a future build thats in my head.hehehehehe. ( the future build will be wicked) I'v got the kit already and will start it when I get one off the bench. keep an eye open for this one dude.

hay guys thanks for the tips and will definatley try the clear orange on the wood. and Dave thanks for the bending tip ,but I used the himming pins and the head is inside the tube and drags the walls enough to keep it still. but still want to play with the geometry with spacers to get the flip just right.

hay bro I like the color. maybe try a clear with some pearl it it. I still want to see the back end done though. and looking forward to the full assemble as well. later dude....

yea man. tryin to get there, still stayin steady and tryin not to rush things .

hay gil . I really like your stile. the quality of the builds are top notch clean also, thanks for shairing.

MORE PICS DUDE! I NEED MORE PICS. no seriously man more pics. I need to see those tail lights done so I can steel the look and present it as my own.

THAT IS COOL . noticed the plastic stick at the back of the doors. are you going to open the doors with the exterior hinges? and if you are closer pics would be great .

DAVE! this thing is AWSOME! from conseption to finish product, spot on PERFECT. JOB WELL DONE SIR, JOB WELL DONE!

HAY DAVE IT WORKED! I took your diagram and turned it sideways and ran with it. tweeked the design a little and found a new item to keep around the tool box ( himming pins ) from the fabrick shop. there skinny and moore rigged than wire and don't snap when bent. and the head on them looks like a large carage bolt. thay were used as the pivot bolt and the push rod in the actuator. drilled a large hole in the round plastic almost all the way through then finished the hole with a smaller bit so the head of the pin could not come through and I think it looks like a hydrolic ram. I'm just happy to be getting a shorter to do list on this thing. bed floor is painted and gas cap installed. rams made and in place. thay actually worked. I can flip it forward also. don't the pins look like large carage bolts. I'm happy

decided to split the stop lights . feel it fits the stile better. ( thanks unforgiven ) what do you think?

thanks for the input. I do value your openion and I think your right so I'll look into splitting it . the truck being orange will also give a hidden look after done.

MAN YOU CAN BUILD! that is some nice detail, I'm starting to get an itch for a lowrider build. I'v only built one before, a 58 chev bel-air in a three wheel. didn't make the move from vegas though, it might be time for a resorection.

well I got the lights behind the grill and have some primmer going down which is a good sign, the body work isn't to bad only touch up putty and wet sanding. then I realized I dont have any light in the back to stop this thing .so I came up with this, cause the single stocker wasen't happining. what do you guys think , has the LED look and it's out of the way. the only thing that I might change is maybe split it into two pieces with filler in the middle to give it a moore two tail light look.

I know you will be happy to lay somthing out under glass, I know I will if I can get somthing done . let us know when it goes under glass so we dont miss anything.

thanks again dave. tryin to step up the progression of my builds ,but man I tell you the hinging and pivoting is about to drive me mad. I want to make things look as real as possable and that might be getting in the way. I'll keep trying ,but things are going to slow down a bit on the build.

hay dave thanks for the input, diagram is great. question though, what stops the wire from comming out of the tube?

thanks guys for the input for the flip front ,but it won't work on the truck. I need to go up and over the grill area. I did a flip like that on the "COUPSTER". this hood needs to go up about 1/4 inch straight up and then flip forward. thanks alot and please keep on with the input.

lets shed some light on the subject! I'm so glad to have the grill open, do some sanding between the grill and primmer up. set the headlights on the frame for a nice clean look on the front. now on to the fun of hinging everything.

that is a cool color! the bed cover is a good break up point, thats alot of truck to be one color. I would try for the body color first and if it dosent work spray it black for the contrast. well thats my 2 cents. or in this economy maybe just one.

hay bro. sorry I haven't tagged this thread for awhile. the side pipes are a must in my openion.and the bodywork looks good to me. the tail lights fit the stile I thing your lookin for so keep on keepin bro. it's just a guess, but do you like the color blue?

thanks for the encouragement. I'v been thinking alot on the hood and I think I'v got it. now I' got to make it look like the picture in my head. as for the chasis, the suspension is box stock. the truck sits so far over it with the step rails it givs that super low look naturaly. and for the headlights thay will be mounted to the frame behind the opened grill. and cranky, you arn't the only one who can't wait for paint, but I'm tryin not to rush. had a little problem with rushing the "COUPSTER" and I still stair at the misstakes, so slow and steady on HEAVY CHEVY. picks are comming soon.
