Here's a few pics of the front bumper. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01371.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01373.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01375.jpg |
Hey you remembered so that's a plus. Front bumper looks nice, I like the curved lines. Kinda goes with the flow of the front fenders!"thumbsup" |

I like the way the bumper came out too, I figured I'd make it curved thats how it will look after a while any way. :lol: |

Man rick, I love the progress on the truck, I see a lot of detail going in to this build"thumbsup" The bumpers lok great, but i did not expect anything less from your sence of creativity. Keep up the good work, I wanna see it in person at Robbers Cave. |

You want me to bring a unfinished rig to the comp so you can look at it. OK |
I finished the front bumper for now, I put a skin on the hole thing http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01402.jpg |
1 Attachment(s) Looks cool! You should cut out a place for the winch line like this... |

That truck coming out nice rick |
Got the rock sliders done ,I got all the metal stuff done I think. Worked on the bed a little , waiting for some glue for the lexan. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01404.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01405.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01408.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01409.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01403.jpg |
You're moving along nicely Ricky.. Great work... |
Did you use tubing or solid rod for the front bumper and rock sliders? What brand of flux and solder are you using for the brazing? I have a Hilift coming and I want to make some sliders and stuff for it. It is coming along very nicely. Looks good"thumbsup" |

As far as solder, I use a rosin core solder for metal repairs and not that much flux. I use mapp gas and oxygen to solder with. The only thing I can't keep together is the rack on my other truck,But my bumpers and sliders havn't ever fail. |
The glue showed up , so I got the bed glued up and the tailgate working. Them dogs think they get to go for a ride or something. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01442.jpg I got started on the floor board. Have to cut around everything to make it fit.:roll: http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01444.jpg Here's the fire wall and behind the seats. http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01446.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...7/DSC01445.jpg |

Wow, that is coming along nicely. Very nice. Thanks for the info on the tube and solid rod. I used a mixture of both when I made my lumber rack for my 2.2 scaler. I used Home Depot flux, solder and Mapp gas. The solder and flux were of poor quality and I wanted to see what you are using before I attempted this next 1.9 build. I think I am going to buy some Harris flux and solder to braze with this time. You mentioned Mapp and Oxygen together. Are you using a set up similar to a cutting torch where each has it's own valve into one tip? |
That rig is sure showing some very nice potential I hope you paint it that green that so many Chevrolet's of that period were painted. How does the brass hold up compared to brake line? |
