Front end is getting close. It's nice to get a coat of primer on it to see what you got. Sorry my phone does not take a great picture.

Swar · 02-23-2018, 05:38 PM

^^ Thanks y'all. Much appreciated.

Mollzyie · 02-24-2018, 12:33 AM

Hey swar did u have to add any metal ? What are your plans after fenders ? Paint ? Color ? .... u gonna add any trim ?

Swar · 02-24-2018, 01:02 AM

I attached steel mesh and wrapped it around the edge. Old fashioned bodywork. It's getting black pearl and put the chrome bumpers back on and thats it.

**hewittca** · 02-27-2018, 10:19 PM

That's looking really good! I like the style of your truck.

I saw this truck on facebook and thought you'd appreciate it.

Thanks! Oh yea I've seen that one, quite the machine. Wish I had the equipment to shape metal like that.

Tested out the black pearl lacquer last night. I'm going for it!

Mollzyie · 02-28-2018, 09:02 PM

That truck is badass hewittica !

Swar that black pearl looks sweet ... youre using lacquer ?? .... spraying yourself? I'm gonna go w a satin black myself but w atleast all the lower trim maybe upper too .... that pearl is nice 👍🏼 Keep bringing the pics 👍🏼

Swar · 02-28-2018, 09:21 PM

Yea I'm just using Duplicolor cans. Black Sand Pearl, it's actually a Toyota color, but its covering nice. I want more of a semi gloss finish with that metallic sheen in it. I want that old school hot rod black with character. Yours would look great in satin black. You cant go wrong with black and chrome.

Swar · 05-03-2018, 09:41 AM

Well, glad that's over!
Still planning to black out the interior but working on closing in the bed now to get it inspected.
It will eventually be all aluminum diamond plate.

**Boog** · 05-03-2018, 10:26 AM

Very tasteful flair job. All metal?

**clay68c10** · 05-03-2018, 10:49 AM

I’m not usually a fan of body mods on these trucks, but man I like how that turned out!

Swar · 05-03-2018, 10:56 AM

^^ Thanks guys! I wish it was all metal, but whoever restored it previously covered it in bondo, so I just added some more. I also don't have the means/equipment/$$$ to roll steel into that shape. But yea, its a subtle change and I'm very happy with how it came out.

Mollzyie · 05-03-2018, 12:17 PM

Swar . The Beast looks badass .. good job man . Bet it feels good to have those fenders shored up 👍🏼

Swar · 05-03-2018, 01:29 PM

Thanks Mollzyie. Yea its a big step closer to being road legal haha it feels great.

some383 · 05-03-2018, 04:27 PM

It would look more badass if you left it stock. I think it looks cheesy but its your truck and your time. Good luck.

Swar · 05-03-2018, 04:45 PM

^^ lol
