Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic

I'd like to see one of his videos to show me what I'm doing wrong.:lol: I could always use some pointers on working metal.

I wish this $$ was going towards my truck build, bills come first and I took this week off without pay (at my full time job).

Hey alan what r u using to smear the sides of the bed material wise?

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Thanks for the link

Cool video

Using Rage extreme and a 3 " spreader

Worked the right bedside today and do you believe I didn't take a single pic. It would be boring pics anyway.

:agree:......:lol:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Thats all the pics I have of mine too. Man I would be luck to spread half that in the humidity here.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

How did I know that was going to happen. :haha:

It took 5 batches to wipe the whole bed side. It sounds like a lot, but those are big panels.;)

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Took me 5 cans:lol:

So far I'm impressed with the wheel tubs. I just took them out of the box and took pics I haven't had much time to inspect them any closer.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Look good from here too..........Glad to see your back, hope your family and you had a great vacation.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

those do look nice...where did you get them?

when you have some time....is there anyway you could weigh them and give us a comparison in the metal thickness??

Thanks and :welcoem: back....

my wife would love it if I took a hiatus from the web........

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

Yeah, I forgot welcome back. I hope it was rest full for you. Now get back to work. :lol:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

We had a good time doing what ever the kids wanted to do. It was cheap intertainment. Ride bikes, play games watch a movie, play horse shoes (plastic) ride bikes again, fish, explore, and go to the beach, feed the ducks. Come to mention it, I'm tired.:lol:

198 ordered them from Brothers. I will try my best to weigh them or I will at least mic them.

But, my hands are finally clean and not stained. :lol:

That just means you've been lazy. Get back to work Alan!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

My hands have been that way for so many years, I thought that's the way I was born. :haha:

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
 

I was wondering how close the Brothers wheel wells looked to the factory pieces. From the pictures you posted close enough for me. Let us know if you have any fitment issues.
