Then I decided to pop out the dent in the cab corner and throw on a new lower to get rid of the rusty stuff. This was by far the worst fitting cab corner I've installed yet. I guess the stamping was off or something, it took a lot of hacking to get it close to right.

BACKYARD88 · 10-20-2008, 11:14 AM

Then I threw on a couple coats of mud. I still have to knock the laast one down and it should be ready for some 2k. I'm not trying for perfection, I just don't want to run around with a big old rust hole if I don't have to.

bad6772 · 10-20-2008, 05:18 PM

Looks good......Seems your staying on track with this one....lol

hotrod 80 · 10-20-2008, 09:24 PM

Wow , this thing is coming along quick .

BACKYARD88 · 11-10-2008, 11:19 PM

Got a little update. Did som priming and blocking. Keep trying to tell myself it doesn't have to be perfect but I'm a perfectionist. One block is all I'm doing though so it'll still be a little wavy. Resealed the drip rails and rear cab seam. I also put in the CPP 5" rear springs, thanks Chuck!

My best bud got married this past weekend so here's to him and his new wifey!

Your truck is coming along good. Where did you get those square clamp things to hold your cab corner for welding?

BACKYARD88 · 11-11-2008, 10:07 AM

Picked them up at Harbor Freight. Like 4.99 for 8 of them. They're a life saver too

hotrod 80 · 11-11-2008, 01:19 PM

sweeeet! Paint coming soon?

BACKYARD88 · 11-11-2008, 06:16 PM

I hope so

Mike Bradbury · 11-12-2008, 11:34 PM

Hey Mike have you ever used the more expensive panel clips? I just wonder what the big difference in price is? If the more expensive ones are worth the extra $$.

Spray-Bomb · 11-12-2008, 11:43 PM

I think i got mine from Eastwoods & They prolly arent any better than what Mike has

BACKYARD88 · 11-13-2008, 09:41 AM

I have some more that were twice the price, I can't tell the difference between the two.

Mike Bradbury · 11-13-2008, 11:11 AM

Cool, there is a harbor freight right down the street from me.

hotrod 80 · 12-02-2008, 09:48 PM

Is it painted yet ?

8mpg · 12-02-2008, 10:44 PM

Not to sure how this project is called Double D, and no one has commented on the hot brunette

Spray-Bomb · 12-02-2008, 11:10 PM

Believe me, I give Mike enough hell over Missy

hotrod 80 · 12-02-2008, 11:33 PM

That's his wife .

Ugh, I wish. Seems all my free time gets filled with other stuff. Now it's getting cold, I'll get it soon though I hope.

my67chevytruck · 01-15-2009, 10:12 AM

should we create a slackers club? or a we rather watch Tony work club?

He's too busy COMMENTING on Missy to work on the truck

BACKYARD88 · 01-17-2009, 11:17 AM

I'm slacking, but as soon as I get my buddies truck out of my shop(almost finished with the bag job) this one gets rolled back in. Hopefully she'll be on the road by the end of Feb.
