yea those look sweet.. and there going to be sick on the truck!

 

Yep yep! The tread is much more aggressive than I really had thought it was going to be, and I love it. Makes my dad's BFG M/Ts look as tame as a mouse.

 

looks like your getting closer bummer deal about your back keep up the good work i like what your doing with the door panels dont forget to take more pictures of them

 

Sure thing man! I am just trying to get it all sorted right now, this is just mocking it up. I have alot more to do to the door panels that will make them look great. Gonna go to the machine shop next door, and see if he would be willing to machine the speaker slits in it, then I am going to make some upholstery boards and attach it to the bottom to help deaden some sound, and break it up a bit. I am going to polish these to a high polish, then clear coat it (I think).

I still have to fab up a door handle/arm rest for em, which should be the hardest part of this. Think I am going to have to cut some of the door frame from the inside and reweld some material in there to get the panel to lie flat.

I would love to try to get it to just bolt in so I could make some more, and sell em. they aren't cheap though, thats for damn sure, .

I did, however just commit to buy some doors, a grille, a tailgate, a spare sliding rear window, and a few more parts that may or may not include a bed (pending pics). Got a heck of a deal, and they are all pretty straight, so I am super excited. I have been fretting over not being able to find straight parts around here, but I think I have found most of what I need!

 

nice. i cut out my rockers and cab corners last night, also took out the interior and por15 the floor boards. just gotta weld in the new panels and swap out fenders. your post is keeping me motivated

 

Cool! Got a thread on your progress? Wouldn't mind checking it out!

 

i am taking tons of pics... i will do a before and after thread in the next few days

 

Nice nice! Its a fun project, thats for sure! I think the doors I am buying come with nice door panels, so now I am torn if I should use those, or keep making mine, .

 

in making your own like that there wont be to many around and like you said somebody else might take an interest in them and have you make some

 

Yeah, I intend to finish them, i think I have too much invested in them already, . I think I have a bit of a different design I might be thinking up right now though, which would help them lay flat. Have a couple ideas to try first, and see how that works. Do you think there would be interest in them?
