Thanks John, I really like the look of the black water neck over the polished one plus it's one less thing I need to polish

Finished spraying my floor today with Boom Mat. I really like the way it turned out, this along with some fatmat should make for a nice quiet solid cab.

Sunday I worked on my Firewall. All I did was sand, sand, sand, sand. Did I mention I sanded

Jimbabwe · 10-22-2012, 08:15 PM

It looks so smooth!!

Bennett68C10 · 10-22-2012, 08:15 PM

I'm waiting on my brother to weld on the other porterbuilt firewall piece for the upper outside edge of the wire gutter to make it like the driver side, so I haven't done the bodywork there yet.

Thanks, it's starting to come together now. Working on the bodywork on the cab so I can get it in primer and back on the frame.

Bennett68C10 · 10-29-2012, 10:43 AM

Posting up some pics from Saturday before the Hurricane knocks out my power. My firewall is almost done, still need to weld and bodywork the last piece of the porterbuilt firewall kit that rounds out the passenger side like the driver side. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Looks really smooth.

etindoll · 10-29-2012, 10:46 AM

Great looking project love the wheels very good choice.
