Looks great Trevor.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Thanks Tom, I have now cut 6 total cab roofs out..... spot weld by spot weld, but whose counting :waah:

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Wow that doesn't sound like fun but what a great truck your going to have.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Oh believe me, it was a ball. When you need 2 Cheyenne Inner Roof skins, another outer skin with clearance lights, one for any addition pieces, and the actually suburban roof.... you get tired of drilling :lol:

Thanks for the kind words, I keep trying to think like your comment. Thinking it will turn out better this way. Trevor

Rough sketch of my engine emblem, either this or D 6.6L.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

I have had the feeling of doubt, "i wonder if i am crazy, this is crazy..." from going a little in depth for something. haha. better to just do it right the first time. thats the phrase i keep using to justify my behavior! haha

i vote DMAX on the emblem. leaves no doubt.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

DMAX oh yes! :devil:

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

My vote would go to DMAX.................Love it

Is that a new door skin on the 4th door that was sectioned together?

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

DMAX it shall be! Thanks guys

As far as the door skin, yes it is a new outer door skin that I have cut the correct length, but will still need some tweaking. I figured this way I could do the bodywork front and back until its right. Trevor

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

I'd go with DMAX on the emblem too. It'll look sweet.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Finally!! I found out why I can't find tow hooks for my truck..... Because Trevor has them all! Lol :lol:;) i love the build its very cool I can't wait to see more!!

Just showing the work on the "new" outer skin[URL=http://s481.photobucket.com/user/heartbeatfan/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141103_205034_826_zps9e44877d.jpg.html]http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/r...ps9e44877d.jpg[/URL

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

A member asked to see my roof currently. I am adding truck headliners into the cab, thus why so much cut out.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

This is a great looking build!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Switched gears....been working on the cab and chassis frame preparing it for the 4x4 conversion.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

with your attention to detail, i am excited to see some chassis and powertrain stuff!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

The start of cutting brackets off.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Been fighting cold temps and the holidays with not much time off. Life of a Budman!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Nice work! It's hard to get anything extra done this time of year!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

X2! Especially for the Budman! :two:

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Making some good progress!!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Roof progress.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

More inner roof pics. Took a little bit to figure out my transition to the door pillars. Also, got my porterbilt firewall filler panels in and started to attack them. Trevor

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Roof is looking great, RU welding that inner skin above your head? I guess flipping a cab that big would be a problem!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
 

Nope, I have the outer roof skin off, so I am able to weld from the top and hammer and dolly as well.
