[12valvePwr96]

Might want to wait till the die grinding is done. I hate getting covered in the metal slivers, and thats wearing jeans and a hoodie. A bikini would be down right uncomfortable.

THIS^ I hate the shavings.... she only did a port and a half, and was done. I don't blame her!

That brings a whole new meaning "sand in your v......" LOL

Sorry I haven't posted an update in a while, guys. I've been pretty tied up at work, and had alot going on with my buddy going into ICU two weeks ago and what not. I've pretty much just been doing a bunch of body work, and finished porting and polishing my head, which is off to the machine shop and I should be able to pick it up in the next week or two. I haven't taken many pics, just been hammering on the work. I'll get pics of the shortbed I picked up. For now, here are some of body work being done on the fenders and radiator support. Looks like I'm running a slave shop.

Don't be shy, give input!

I wish I had "slaves" that looked like that. Keep up the good work, I miss not seeing these updates as often as they used to be posted. This truck is going to be pretty sweet.

 

[12valvePwr96]

Thanks man, I'm gonna try to post updates more like I used to. I've been workin on it a bunch, just haven't been posting about it much. Fitting these 3rd gen lights is pretty damn tough.

we need pics of that fo sho

 

[CollegeCummins]

Yeah, I agree. I'm pretty interested in seeing how you are making those fit.

 

[12valvePwr96]

I'll get some pics. For now it just looks like some cut up fenders.

For now: Test fittage on the roll pan.

 

[12valvePwr96]

Hope to get the hood, gate, roll pan, and my new bed ready for paint (well, body work finished) in the next week or so. I just picked up my epoxy primer for the whole thing today, gonna spray every panel with it since I'm stripping the whole thing to bare metal like a true resto.

 

[12valvePwr96]

Well, used my day off work to get the bed ready for body work/primer. I promised pics of the bed, so here ya go. :thumbsup: Several hours of sanding and grinding, and got it the way it is here. I'm heading back out now to throw some bondo and get a good coat of epoxy primer on 'er. The fenders are in primer and ready to go, just need to finish modding em for the headlights.
