nathan_454 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 thanks wayno, the details are what takes the most time, I got two pieces of alum. diamondplate cut. one for the headache rack and one for the rear bumper, but i should have waited until I was finished with the cab guard, as once I started building it I decided that the distance from the horizontal bar to the top was too great and didnt look proportional, so I added the second one that lines up with the bottom of the rear window, so now I have another void that needs filled and no diamondplate to fill it! oh well I will go back and get another piece next weekend. I found a guy in Tacoma that will shear it to size for me and his prices are reasonable. Quote Link to comment

nathan_454 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 that ornamental stuff is at Jrock's shop. I didnt build it... though I could if need be. hmmm..... Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 nathan did you by the wood with tongue and groove or did you do that yourself? Quote Link to comment
wannaby Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 No big deal was just wanting to see it I do ornamentle work myself althoug dont anymore exept for special projects......too much cheap crap from china ruined the market. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Good idea Nathan.... We could team up ..... Most all the ornamental stuff I powdercoat is 100 percent hand fabbed.... Nathan is. Very accomplished welder fabricator....I'm sure what ever he makes would turn out nice...and for me nice fab work makes my life easier and it generally turns out nicer Quote Link to comment
nathan_454 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 nathan did you by the wood with tongue and groove or did you do that yourself? I bought it that way, did add the bevel to the edges and cut down the two end pieces Quote Link to comment

DAT510 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Fantastic welds. Looks really good! makes the truck look like sheeet :lol: Quote Link to comment
unhh Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Needs a couple storage bins in front of the wheels to fill out the sides a bit... the bed looks awesome though. DAT510's right, it looks better than the truck itself does. :lol: Quote Link to comment
nathan_454 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yeah I agree. I want to paint the truck before summer is over (as if it has started yet here in WA) decided on "miller welder blue" as the color Quote Link to comment
