ANY UPDATES NICK??? your truck keeps idea flowing in my head that anything is possible...

 

sorry for interrupting but I remember this truck planning on being AWD, is it still going to be AWD? cause this thing looks sick dude!

 

no updates... truck is sitting right now, i have too many projects on the front burner. i was going to go awd, but it just got to be too much of a headache. i promise, once this truck is done, you will understand why i am not going awd!

 

at least its still RWD. no problem

 

no hes building a badass FWD truck!

 

I finally found some time to work on my truck again! got the doors and fenders on... it may not look like much, but it was an all day event trying to get all 4 doors and fenders aligned. i need to clean the truck up, but after i finish buttoning some things up in the morning, im going to start wet sanding!!!

 

I was just about to IM you, looks awesome man! Woo for progress

 

The truck will look like a real sleeper when its done if you leave those wheels on it.



Looks great man.

 

sweet i cant wait to see it done

 

u have to be online to do that!

 

so will this be done buy june for me to stop and look at it on my way to sc this year?

 

thanks guys! and btw, the drivetrain thats in it now is all for sale!!! less the rear end. im talkin from turbo to transmission!!!!! i gotta get this stuff sold!

 

whats going in?

 

lol i doubt it.... gotta have money! beards truck is priority! i got his engine back from the machine shop today. i still have my work cut out on his! but you are welcome to come check it out!

 

dohc 4.6

 

i might man pm the address of the shop so i can see how far out of my way it is

 

since i bought a house, my shop is beside it!

 

haha nice man cant beat that

 

looks great nick. why do you need to wet sand it? it looked flawless when i saw it.

those wheels are hot btw.

 

i dont like any orange peel or tape lines..... thx, im gonna run these wheels! they are growin on me!

 

Just need some bigger white walls!

 

so you can wetsand the clear to get a cleaner finish? then polish and good to go? I was thinking about taking my truck back to the bodyshop to get the bedsides wetsanded, I'm like you I hate orange peel :-(

 

i wouldnt recommend wet sanding something if you have never done it. i use 1500-2000 grit paper. it takes a lot of work to get all of the orange peel out and you can sand through the clear easily. since i painted the stripes under the clear, there is a little bit of a tape line taht i want to get out as well. I knew i was going to do all of this when i painted the truck, so i made sure i sprayed enough clear on it to work with.

 

lookin dirty. i need a paint job desperately

 

got it all washed up. waitin on some sand paper and other materials to get here... ill take some pix later
