It's not much progress but it's something. I've been working on the next mold, the cab floor. It's going pretty good. i'm about 1/2 way done but i'm looking for some good detailed pics of the floor of the real thing. I have some pics but they are from a truck that still has the insulation on the floor so i can't quite see the detail. Anyways here is what i have so far.  |

a bit more progress. I stopped on the floor for a bit and turned my attention to the radiator support. After studying the pics i had for a while i determined the support is made primarily of 8 parts. The right and left panels behind the lights, the center support below the radiator, the filler plate behind the support, the channel that goes above the radiator, and the 2 body mounts. Here is my reference pic  I started with the main panels first. I left them one piece for now to get the sizes down. there it still some detail and finish work to do but it is almost done  i formed a couple test pieces to see how the shapes were coming out.   I felt pretty good with them for now so i moved onto the support under the radiator  it fits really good on the other mold but it's not going to stay there. it will be mounted in it's own base so i can make the support a separate piece.  that's it for now. it's taken me for ever to get just this far! I hope i can get it done before Motorama in February! |

Thanks guys, it's always good to hear positive feedback  Well i got the lower rad support mold mounted  then i made a test piece  It will never be seen but i made a mold for the part that goes behind the support to make it a box   here is how it will be mounted   I don't want to miss any detail  Here is the front all mocked up  lastly i had a bit of time to throw some filler in the floor mold  i also whipped up a test piece to see how it worked  It was tough getting the metal to stretch around the hump but it looks pretty good. i need to add some more ribbing and open the pickets for the cab mounts and it will be done. that's all for now! |

Truely amazing!!! I have grown up in the autobody industry (33 years and 3rd gen. bodyshop owner) and your attention to detail is great I'm blown away by attention to detail of the radiator support. Are you going to make front firewall with aprons? Man I'm sure you keep your molds and I wish I could get my hands on one finished ones.
