| I will definitely do that. I just hadn't yet since I didn't have the truck back yet. I plan on doing some brainstorming still on the theme for the panels. I need to pick the colors and such.

Pick colors???? Clear coat that baby and run raw steel. With the normal colored accent parts it would look sick!

Thanks guys. I'm so happy to have it back at the shop. Jerry did such a killer job. It's hard to see all the detail work he does, especially with paneling everything off. I'll get good shots of that later, may have to be during a tear down to really show it though. Couple more shots. Front end Rear end |

So as soon as I got down to the shop I got to work on some details. This is really my first whack at doing sheet metal welding. First up, making a double sheer panhard mount. Here is how it started. Quick template Test fit The new torch I picked up. Installed before cleaning up the joints much. And a couple speed holes added. Last edited by Harley; 02-06-2012 at 11:40 PM. |

Another thing I wanted to attempt was boxing in the shock tower. It was a pain and a lot of filing but turned out well. |
