nice tube work will you be adding any more tubing to the bumper?

 

No, It's going to be a street truck, I dont want to add anymore crap that will make me want to add a winch, which turns into wanting to put it in 4wd.....just more crap I'll break

Got it painted today





The Rustoleum hammered black comes out looking a lot like powdercoat.



Another layer



Its getting there





Tonite I'm molding on the support ring that will be used to attach the gauge cluster cover to the dash. Hoping to have it ready for paint by the end of tomorrow, that means BONDO sanding all day tomorrow

 

I don't think anyone can say it enough...AWESOME BUILD!

I envy the time and energy you have to create such a wicked ride!

 

i don't blame you. nice looking setup for sure. look forward to seeing it when she is finished.

 

Incredible amount of fabrication ......and you are a master ! Can't wait to see the finished product .......and hopefully your next project after this !

 

This was the mounting ring I was talking about, its half fiberglass and half jb weld.





Then a couple layers of Bondo and sanding



Then many many many more sanding sessions and various fillers and I got the first coat of black on it. I''m using the Rustolem hammered again because it gives it the same texture the stock dash plastic has and it hides minor imperfections.

 

 

Still has a gap on the right hand side, not happy with it, it sits a little more to the left when mounted in the dash than when I molded it out of the truck, but I will try moving the gauge mounting holes over to see if I can split the gap.







Dodge fuse panel



Need to make a kick plate cover but its still easy to get to any fuses



Yeah so this is going to be hard to fit will be a bitch to fit once I get the twins on there too
opps didn't mean to let that cat out of the bag yet



Just on there for initial startup



And now I'm stuck trying to figure out how to hot wire the truck's ignition and starter....any info or help is appreciated
