Re: off it goes

That thing is so clean you might not be able to find it if you paint it to match. Strong work!

Re: off it goes

I would but the problem with making you one is that we actually changed the cowl holes to make them a little more symmetrical. So it most likely wouldn't line up with the stock holes....

Re: off it goes

Sorry....I probably couldn't make a factory cowl screen now, just due to the fact that I don't have a template to work from. We tried a couple of variations of templates to see what we thought looked the best, I initially in my mind wanted two pieces but once we laid it out on the truck I didn't like how one wiper wasn't behind the cowl and one wasn't. (I'm funny that way, some call it a sickness, lol)
So I really don't have anyway of making one without a template to work from. We changed the hole shapes, sizes and stretched it farther to the drivers side...

Factory


Stretched farther to drivers side


What I had thought I wanted ( 2 Piece )

Re: off it goes

Brake lines are just about done....from reservoir down the firewall through the top of the frame rail




Machined out new rear fender braces, instead of the bolt going through the eyelet we machined these and tapped the bottom so this way they hold the fender with a stainleless button head through the bottom of the fender

Re: off it goes

well we are back at it...took a month of for some R and R and also due to the fact that I thought the truck might have been sold. But we are now into the exhaust....so here's what we have so far, not sure on tailpipes as of yet, hoping we can get 3" on but not sure yet....

Re: off it goes

I understand if you have/want to sell it, but I sure hope you don't until you get to fire it up with all your mods finished!

Re: off it goes

I'd sell it if the money offer is right, the person interested is a famous rock drummer so if he wants it he knows how to reach me and what I want for it...

I don't have to sell but if someone made a offer that I was happy with id let it go....then start on something else or buy something else, it's sounds funny by I enjoy the building process the most

Re: off it goes

Come on man... Forget the drummer! Everybody knows the lead guitarist is way cooler... Unless it's Neil Peart, He rules them all
By the way, you better "Rush" it before selling it because we want YOU to finish it... In our little truck world, you rock at least as much as Neil
