cowboysevens Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 i got the black pin stripe divider on, the rear suspension bags painted, the motor, tranny and radiator installed. still got a lil adjusting to do on the cab mounts. i also got the hubs and brake drums all painted and put together. slowly but surely lol !!
cowboysevens Posted June 8, 2011 Author Posted June 8, 2011 i got the cab all adjusted , lol no more leaning. i made the exhaust from aluminum tubing, and thanks to a trick past on to me i got them mounted fairly nicely ;D. i got the air breather , radiator and exhaust from motor all plumbed. if ya have any tips or see my mistakes please help me out . lol im getting excited, this will be my second completed build in almost 20 years . waitin on decals so i can clearcoat the cab then finish the exterior. still got a lil ways to go
highway Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 i made the exhaust from aluminum tubing, and thanks to a trick past on to me i got them mounted fairly nicely Would you like to share with the rest of the class, Dennis!?!?!
Old Albion Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Dennis, This looks very impressive indeed. I like the colour scheme it looks just right! Also those front wheels look great. Their position to sit under the cab looks perfect. Dave
cowboysevens Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) ok yall i got a few more things done: i got the tanks painted and mounted, the dog house insulated, suzie coils installed , the fith wheel release and slider airline on, bumper refurbished and drilled for fog lights. still got a lil ways to go before its done but im happy the way things are goin on it Edited June 29, 2011 by cowboysevens
highway Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Looking nice Dennis! I think I may have hit the gray hose with some blue paint, but the hoses look great! I wish mine would stay that nicely coiled!
cowboysevens Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Looking nice Dennis! I think I may have hit the gray hose with some blue paint, but the hoses look great! I wish mine would stay that nicely coiled! thanks matt, i guess that lil coil for the fith wheel slider lock does look a lil grey, lol but its painted the same color. i might have to hit it with another coat maybe. im waiting on some awesome decals form that wierd decal guy lol then ill clearcoat it and put all the lights, horns mirorrs etc etc on it and hopefully be done!! :lol:

I didn't even notice that till you said something and I went back to the pic and looked!! I was talking about the trailer line, or is it blue and the camera playing tricks on me!!

I was talking about the trailer line, or is it blue and the camera playing tricks on me!! lol its gotta be the camera cause its blue phone line , i got like 5 floorescent lights on in my model room and it tends to make things glow and look a lil lite sometimes lol
Kostas Parchas Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Nice ol beauty!!! I like the color and all the bits here and there. What is made from the trailer cables hoses? Kostas.
cowboysevens Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) i got the trailer started , still got a ways to go. the rims are temps and the box is just sitting on the suspension. Edited June 29, 2011 by cowboysevens
mackinac359 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 So far so good! I like the 'scoop' air conditioner. Tim
Kostas Parchas Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I am sure that the camera tricks the color, but this combo is magic and it has this nostalgia feeling... Very nice rig. Kostas.
cowboysevens Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 (edited) i still got a lil ways to go but its coming together nicely, i got decals on the truck, and most of the stuff like mirrors grab handles etc on. lol yes i dont have the head lights in yet, im still looking for a new set Edited July 6, 2011 by cowboysevens
Missing in Action Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 The PETE's really looking good Dennis!!! Roy
