Puttin in a lot of work so far, can't wait to see the finished product.

 

thanks. next weekend is when ill start doing the passenger and tailgate. im gonna draw up some blueprints for the wheel wells seeing as how i have to remove the one whole side underneath the bodyline. brake a angle to look like a body kit sort-of coming down and tig it on. food for thought right now though, just focusing on getting it down to metal for now. saved $55 on a 35-piece angle grinder disc kit, last supply run i spent $25 and saved $30, so im only at $50 so far on supplies, i should be good until its time to paint. any metal pieces to weld in i get it for free at work.

heres what im gonna be painting it with

well i took my grill off and gave it to my engineer at work, hes gonna blueprint a custom grill for me, then ill waterjet it at work as well. if it turns out and anyone likes it i would be glad to take some designs if you want them done. we can do anything you want except moulding. we have a cnc plasma, cnc waterjet and a cnc punch. ill post pics when its done in the next couple weeks

 

I'm not the type for really bright colours but I really like that green. I think this is gonna turn out reallll good.

 

im thinking im gonna throw a pearl in there. i looked into flakes but you have to be skilled and know what your doing. im gonna take the doors off, the hood and maybe the box and do those separately. im gonna be removing the rear bumper and making a roll pan, havent figured out a front bumper yet

 

dont have time this weekend, i picked up new pads and rotors i gotta change out tomorrow. during the week im gonna finish the tailgate and get it primed, hopefully by next weekend ill have all my new LEDs for my light swaps. everything is kinda running into each other as far as trying to stick to one thing at a time

 

a little update since its been a while. ive changed plans for whats going on. the box is almost done just one more hole to patch on the passenger side. i did a black base coat on the drivers side and tailgate, and ive begun to rockerguard it all. im gonna rockerguard the whole truck with green accents and clear coat on top of it all. once i got that black base coat on it looked pretty sharp. its been cloudy and rainy all week and supposed to be this week so next weekend im gonna finish the box and get started on the cab
