Re: Silver Dollar
Gonna put the rear bumper on
http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4334.jpg Theres a good shot of a ground from the frame to the bed. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4335.jpg Inner bracket, Oh! this picture reminds me, to go back and check that I put one of the bed bolts back in. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4339.jpg Shinny new bumper. Trash on the floor. Hey theres my licence plate bulb. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4336.jpg I grabbed a licence plate light from a friend with a few of these trucks lying around. bead blasted it, then painted it with Chrome paint. (Looks just like chrome don't it.) btw i did put in new screws and a lens. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4337.jpg The flash on my camera sure makes all the dust show up real nice. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4338.jpg Nice ass! I should make this my avatar. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4341.jpg |

Re: Silver Dollar
Very nice! Did you use a stencil kit for the tail gate letters, or mask them off and shoot them?

Re: Silver Dollar
Final wiring of the dash, mounting the PCM, and the data link connctor
I used L.E.D. for the turns/ hazards, brights, and check engine light. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4272.jpg All lit up, my bright indicator is just that bright http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4265.jpg I love military aircraft and thought it would be cool to try and incorporate that some where in the build, so I came up with adding a real air force wings pin, in that dead spot on the dash. I also been thinking about adding a pinup girl or "nose art" on to the glove box. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4666.jpg I made a bracket out of a floor joyce brace from menards and bolted it to the firewall and the other end to the dash. then added industrial grade velcro . The pcm is quite heavy and I figured it wouldn't stay up under hard bumps or rough roads, so I came up with a strap. it holds it up nice and secure. And it will come down very easy if needed. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4437.jpg as you can see, its tucked up there pretty good. and not seen, unless your tring to look under the dash. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4439.jpg same thing with the data link. its under the right side of the dash. like many new trucks and it is not seen unless looking for it. http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/DSCF4752.jpg |
Re: Silver Dollar
looking good..i love that dash

Re: Silver Dollar
Hey Mike, where did you get your rear bumper from? It looks like it is "bowed" in the center, I had the same problem with one of mine that I got from an online vendor....Nobody noticed mine, but I did and that is what really matters...:rolleyes:

I got it from, a swap meet. Really I got it from Southern Kentucky Classics. They ran a ad on my local craigslist saying they were gonna be at the Indy Super Sunday swap meet and anybody could save on shipping. so I gave them a huge list. The Rep brought almost everything I on my list. Not only did I save on shipping on those big items. but I also negotiate the price for everything. I came prepared. I had a list of how much and where the best prices were. I don't think the guy was expecting that. Im sure he still made money. just not as much as he wanted to. I spent about a grand with him, but probably saved $500 getting it that way. It pays to do some homework, and come prepaired. Back to the bumper. Ill have to check that out better. it might be a illusion. |
Re: Silver Dollar
Nice work and I LOVE the gauges. I for some reason am not a fan of the Covan dash but really like how it looks the way you set it up and with the gauges you used and the pin.
