  1. I have plans for the factory tow mirrors. Will have to scratch some unless anyone knows where I could get some.
  2. Got the welding machine pretty much fabbed up
  3. Thanks. You should get back on it. I would love to see it
  4. Thanks Richard. My original plan was to do it the way you said but would have required more body work and I just got lazy. There are trucks on the pipelines that have their beds completely rhino lined. So it could go either way. I might rhino line the bottom of the cab and build a new bumper and line it too. We shall see.
  5. Built the frame and the front panel for the welding machine. It will be an old red face lincoln.
  6. Lookin good. Looks like those caps fit perfect. Maybe I will get a thread started for mine soon.
  7. Bottles and lids painted. Got to use my new paasche talon airbrush. Taillights machined, painted and installed as well as the marker lights. Now to start working on the cab.
  8. I was waiting for someone to ask that question. A hoosier pole swings and extends out from the truck to hold welding cables, amp remote or an umbrella for shade. It gives you a place to hang the cables so you can drive ahead when on the pipelines.
  9. Not that it matters but it's actually a 6.7.
  10. Thanks. I thought the same thing when I did a test on a spoon but when I matched it to a brand new rhino job on a coworkers truck it was perfect. I think the light shinning right on it makes it look glossier.
  11. Got the "rhino lining" on tonight.
  12. Got a little body work done. Also made the other oxy tank and the hoosier pole.
  13. So excited!!!! Now I can replicate the welding rig I drive for work. What did you use for the rest of the truck?
  14. An import with a hemi? What did you use for the wrinkle black paint?
  15. I've got their 7x16 mini lathe and love it!
  16. How about a new heavy duty diesel pickup. Something newer than 2007. Ford, chevy, dodge...I don't care.
  17. That's the way that the kit comes. I think it's so that it's easier to get the interior in. It will fit if you put the corners on first but it is tight.
  18. Got the fenders glued on and the taillights and liscence plate recessed.
  19. Got the bottom radius made on the back, rolled the front side panels and made the acetylene tank and sunk it in the bed
  20. Great start! I also saw that car and am going to build one like it. Looks like you beat me to it. I did the same with the wheels on my 71 but machined my own caps and used the tires from the revell 32 ford.

  21. Got the skirting on and cut the hole for the acetylene tank. Also found some fenders that work perfectly. They are from a revell 32 ford.
  22. Amt snap dually. Scratch built bed. Machined oxygen bottle. Here is the inspiration and where I'm at so far
  23. I would also like to know if this would look good as a bed liner(rino lining)...or is it too coarse of a texture?
  24. The interior will still fit if the corners are installed first but it does take a little coaxing to get it in there
  25. Likin this one a lot!!! Gives me a great idea for a future build.
