Im definatly open to any paint scheme ideas so shoot them my way!
something very similar to this... You could do the gunmetal gray with the rivetted panels look. On something this big and awesome, I think it would fit perfect.

Haha there you go! A paint scheme like that would definatly be sweet! Probally be best to do it as a vinyl wrap due to cost time and the risk of wanting to change your mind eventually!
The color i was thinking was doing a 2 tone between kobalt blue and gun metal grey. I wanna powder coat my chassis gun metal grey to match the wheel color. That would make me wanna do the bottom half of the truck in kobalt blue. Then right at the first swooping body line right at the door handles i would bring the rest of the cab up with gun metal grey including the roof.
I was also think of doing the apillars between the doors in black and doing real tinted windows making it appear as one giant piece of glass! So just to clarify, the front apillar intfront of the window vent on the drivers side door and passenger front door would be gun metal grey and the middle apillars would be like a jet black... make sense? Shoot me some ideas!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

So i made my chassis a little bit too tall. The worst part is i knew that i was doing it but kept going which makes me the most mad haha. So im having to go back and modify it a little bit. Not a big deal, just a set back that i wasnt expecting... Ill throw up some pics here in a bit.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

Hey chris! I just responded to your question on youtube haha. Ill send ya a P.M. with all the details n such but in a nutshell im not using the ones you see on the truck cause with the 54" boggers they end up being not wide enough and the length didnt work out. So i made some out of sheet metal and sofar they have taken a whole damn 4x8x.16ga sheet to make! lol Hope to work somthing out! Oh yeah and thanks for taking intrest in the truck.

There all on my phone! Ill transfer them to a computer here in a bit. So just as an update, ive put the frame together as one piece. Welded in a buncha crossmembers, and have motor and mid mount plates for the engine and trans to solid mount everything.

I also moved my stuff back to my house from the shop i was working at, was just a little bit of a trek away and i barely got to see my wife anymore! At least with it at my house she can sweep the floor and choose what radio station every once and a while haha.

Project is coming along just is a daunting task.

Ok so heres the hang up i was talking about. When i got finished welding in one side of my frame i cut the tacks off and it sprung up significantly off the table. I knew at that point that the frame had gotten too hot and warped so heres a few pics of the first hiccup haha. I woulda taken more but i was in a bad mood from it warping after the first one didnt even though i tried to be very sporatic with my welds. Eh owell. I just gotta make sure the bows are going opposite directions so i can pull them back together

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

So the problem now was the bottom part of the frame where the bottom links mount up are too tall. The only part that upsets me is that i knew it in the back of my head the whole time but still kept building around it haha. So i just had to cut the top part off and deal with it.
