Duncan 2,630 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 (edited) I welded sheet metal strips to my doors and spent hours shaping the edges. I didn't get 'em quite as nice as those. Good to see the truck getting some paint love! You sticking with the cactus green? I do like that color a LOT... Edited February 18 by Duncan 4 Quote Link to post

Charlie69 6,062 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I owned a 1950 Willys 2wd pickup that was titty pink back in the 70s. I got so much shit from my friends about the color I had Earl Schieb paint it baby blue. That was a fun truck, it had the "F4-134 Hurricane" engine. 2 Quote Link to post

mrbigtanker 11,494 Posted March 21 Author Report Share Posted March 21 No pics but cab is 99% done. Should be just about ready for paint. All those gaps are done and bad ass, way to much metal work is in this truck.lol 4 Quote Link to post
mrbigtanker 11,494 Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Seats are finally done, and came out real nice. This truck might turn out half way decent. 5 Quote Link to post
mrbigtanker 11,494 Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr The amount of metal work in this truck is insane, and most people will never notice it. The passenger door was weak so he made the whole mid section to bottom all over again and stretched it to shrink and not be so wobbly. I am blown away really. 3 Quote Link to post
mrbigtanker 11,494 Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Not the best picture but Mark will no this side is all filled and gapped also to match perfect. Tony is just disgustingly crazy. 3 Quote Link to post
