      • Thanks guys for all the compliments. The next few weeks will be body work and wiring and exhaust work. Then some 1080i sparking videos!

            • My face melted when I watched the video, fucking awesome.


              A word of advice on the bondo- don't lay it too thick! Bondo will crack and fall off if you lay it on the firewall too thick, as it will be exposed to a lot of vibration and heat.

              • thanks! The bondo is as thick as the sheetmetal. I am riding like this for a year or two then it will be professionally painted, if issues arise at that time, I will let the body shop rework it.

                    I'd love to have one like this, but here in germany it's really hard to find a good one which is not too expensive

This site was founded on freedom of automotive self expression and the passion that goes in to each and every build... This site is about doing what you like, whatever makes you happy, and not caring about what other people think...

                              • yup, steering rack is out, we have to tub the firewall because the tires are hitting. Waiting on custom rear trailing arm crossmember to fit under cab. Tub firewall, tub inner fenders, raise bed floor and raise rear tubs. Then wire and crank!

                                I have gotten carried away stripping everything to bare metal and building up from there. Spend 4 hours on the cab and 2 on the hood, I should have soda blasted the damn thing!!!
