I'm back!
its been a long time . I was trying to build a truck and deal with Leukemia/chemo at the same time on top of healing from another back surgery. So I have a Ton of Pics to get caught up.

Looks fantastic, and glad you're on the mend with your health!

Do you know what the original application for your brakes was? Is it newer silverado with 6 on 5.5 pattern?

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

No I’m sorry, I don’t remember, it was purchased from AzProperformance.

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

All new Powdercoat and wheels

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

Cutting in wheel tubs for the 24x15 Pirelli tires, and first test fit of the bed.
Next is test fitting the engine.

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

Couple of mock up photos. Just getting an idea of what’s going on.

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

With firewall and without . No bead rolling yet.

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

A little more progress. I’d be lost without my gantry.
Also took a 69 Camaro bumper and shortened it to fit

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

First two photos is my powder coating oven I built to powder my own parts.
Last photo is my bed floor with Fractal Burning on oak and filled with grey epoxy.

Is there a way to get photos to flip?

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

That bed is ****ing gorgeous!

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

Wow. Great job. That bed floor is art.

Re: Soap on a Rope

If you hold your phone vertical and then lay it over to the left so its horizontal with what is normally the bottom of your phone now on the right side and snap pics for the board that way they should post up correctly. Hope that makes sense haha.

I've never heard of fractal burning can you tell me how that's accomplished please.

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

Fractal burning is done with a microwave transformer, you use a solution of water and baking soda and essentially electrocute the wood, burning craters in the wood. And after scrapping out all the charred wood you fill the burns with epoxy and seal with a uv stable bar top coating. A lot of work to get them to this stage. Also known as Lichtenberg figures. Very dangerous and Ive heard of people that have died doing this.

Hey guys, This is my tailgate logo I made up, pretty proud of it. It started as a paper template I made. I taped it to My old 62 GMC tailgate and used the dirty finger trick to trace out the letters. I then scanned it and turned it into a G code for my X-Carve. A very slow program took 23 hours to cut out.

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

Here is the original.

Re: Soap on a Rope
 

This is my center console Ive been working on, not finished yet but in progress.
