Need to seal the underside this weekend, and also make a way to hold the boards down. Its been raining here and some expansion happened and the boards popped out of place.

[hinrichs]

Well needed to add some straps due to the wood expanding from water...my fit was a little too tight anyway so also shaved one board down a little bit. Going to add a few more then figure out how to get to the battery easily just incase.

This weekend or tomorrow I will be doing the front inner fenders after my friend and I hit the junk yard for a few parts and maybe a rear bumper.

This weekend ran to the local junk yard to find a bumper, but didn't think ahead enough to bring something to lay on. I found the perfect bumper I want but ill need to borrow a sawzall to just cut the brackets off and get some new ones. I like the roll pan but would rather have a bumper I feel.

Spent a good portion of Saturday working on the front inners, they are not perfect since I had to deal with the cuts from the po which made it a little more challenging to weld, but it worked and they fit well. I do need to come up with a solution for the coolant overflow however since I am finally driving it everyday, a water bottle is what I have right now, and it kind of works.

Looks good man, but I'm not a fan of the ladder rack. Really like what you did with the bed. I think you should do a GMC grille conversion, I've always liked the open grilles of the GMC to the chrome bar of the Chevy grille

[JRodigan]

This is really cool, and the latter rack is genius. Paint looks pretty damn good for a roll-on job!

Im starting to get tired of looking at it, but I do actually use it for hauling pipe home from work when I need to make stuff. Its not just for show however the ladder is so Ill prolly pull that off soon. I do like the GMC grill but Its not in the budget yet.

Thanks man, yeah the paint turned out decent. I wish I could have sprayed it with the same paint since I did that on my old beetle and it turned out perfect, I just didn't have the space to spray the truck and couldn't find anyone who would let me borrow their garage for a few hours sadly.

A. I love flat paint
B. I thought to myself how cool some old school steel GM rusted rally wheels would be.
C. Slammed work trucks with racks win at life.


PS: I do not like you so much... in a jelly way.

[saturnstance]

I love it.

nothing new other than swapping mirrors on and flares which let me cut out a good amount of metal under them, still need to get the exhaust crossover moved which I don't think will happen before knoedown which sucks, but had a breakdown this weekend which took 3 days to fix. Clutch slave took a crap and had to limp it home. Took a while to bleed it as well.

Fender cut, may get new wheels down the line since I can run a slightly lower offset now.

Banding those wheels are keeping the trim ring would look slick=)

I was going to do 10s out back but decided to stay more stock for the 15s, really should be on an 17-18 anyway to clear the control arms better

Today exhaust crossover is getting moved so I can get the front lower with a little trimming. At least ill be able to roll at 35 psi now rather than 60

[hinrichs]

Need to trim some things up front which I havnt had time to do, but its close to laying frame up front
