I've been lurking for a while, and i think it's time to send a teaser your guys' way. the e-fans are going in, and new Bilstein circle track shocks are on, and rims are out for powder coat. I even have a something up my sleeve by way of Matt Hotch (the one from biker build off)

here's the beginning of plenty of pics... (because i know one of you smart ***** will give me that 'this thread is useless without pics')

 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

wow that is a great looking truck i cant wait to see all of them! Keep up the great work!

 

looks pretty good, but arent you afraid that the filler will stress crack as the body flexes??? i know i would be. filler is only supposed to be used at a 1/16 inch.

 

theres a piece of 1/4x1 bar stock thats welded in to fill in the gap below the filler. i think at the thickest point the filler is 1/8".

believe it or not, with the new compounds, 1/8" - 3/8" is ok for filler. premier plus or rage gold fillers are so smooth, you don't even use spot filler. the adhesion is far superior to 'bondo'

 

More pics! More pics!

Man, that truck is really comming together. Love all the little details you are putting into it. Keep up the hard work!

 

Good job.

 

Looking good, subscribing.

 

why not just do it the right way? You know how and I know you can do it

Btw shave the body lines too it looks very good

 

do which the right way?

 

Are you talking about leading the seems?


Any way looking good but more pics dang it!!!!

 

Is your sig what your truck looks like now?

 

filling in the drip rails, why did you lay barstock in itand fill it up with bondo instead of welding sheet metal in

 

nah, the sig is a rendering for color combinations. it is that low though. well, a little lower in the front.

Cole - the bar stock filled it in perfectly, and gave enough of a gap for the bondo to bite to. If i did sheet metal, i would've still had to smooth it out with filler. six to one, half dozen to the other i guess.

 

Powder coating the wheels? What color now, I really like the black chrome.
