I know what you mean about this weather. It's reaking havoc with more than the truck. They are talking about more rain/snow coming in this weekend.

Inverter · 03-01-2010, 11:43 PM

Small update.

New Bils for the rear,they are the same series as the fronts.

New Canadian smoothie.

This is what the exterior finish will look like.Picture it w/black painted wheel centers and polished lips.

They did a great job smoothing out the tank. You cant even see where the bung and end cap welds are.

Alan's Classic · 03-02-2010, 01:04 AM

Awesome attention to detail.

scotts62 · 03-02-2010, 09:00 AM

Looks awesome!!!

Are the tanks not cleared?

JohnC · 03-02-2010, 10:24 AM

Sweet!

Look great. Did you pressure test the tank for air leaks after smoothing it out? It might leak after grinding those welds.

Inverter · 03-02-2010, 03:36 PM

Thanks yall.

Thank you,
I didnt test it after paint. The end welds were pretty flat n wide to begin with.There was alot of warpage around the weld that sunk in.A little grinding had to be done but mostely filler/blocking.The bungs were welded from in but had alot of tap shavings around them on the outside.If it leakes,Im jus gonna get an aluminum tank.I couldnt send this tank back so I tried to work w/it.

daverod · 03-02-2010, 07:38 PM

In the body shop to fit the bed and weld up the cab seams,then prep for paint.

Got the touch pad system. Thanks Nathan,for the quick service.

Thanks John. Its not getting sprayed just yet. I need to take it home,wire it and get it running before I send it in for the finish.This is just a final fit and adjustment visit,w/a few little sheetmetal mods,,so probably this summer Ill get the color on it.

butternut1972 · 03-16-2010, 10:19 PM

Truck is looking *****in'. I am looking foward to the paint. Great work.

I saw that post when you posted it, but couldn't reply at the time.

Sounds like I need to move back to TX, so I can can stay busy. Or at least stay steady. Greed has created this mess we are in with the economy, which means honest people are hard to come by. We are out there tho. This board is full of honest people. Don't know why I said all of that, but I did.

VA72C10 · 03-16-2010, 11:29 PM

love the color and I have that accuair kit as well...nice stuff...

yea,it's a mess.I've been through enough shoddy and crooked shops that I feel spoiled by these guys. There are good shops out there,just not enough around these parts.

Cool,I like the hdwe in this kit.It looks like an easy install.

Strodder · 03-17-2010, 08:57 PM

Troy are you going to do any graphics on the metallic blue? It's going to be an awesome truck.

Inverter · 03-17-2010, 10:04 PM

Thanks Dennis.
No Graphics but I would like some pin striping.Something simple on the hood and also the rear skin.
Is pin striping considered a graphic ?

Strodder · 03-18-2010, 12:26 AM

No, I was thinking of flames, or something with a different color graphic's. Something like this.

Inverter · 03-18-2010, 01:34 AM

Gotcha,,wasn't sure.
I just wanna keep it simple w/ the color. I've said this so many times now but I am having the wheel centers sprayed black.I am excited w/how it's going to make that blue "pop".As if it didn't already.With a little silver pin striping and the wheels it should have some hot rod attitude.

VA72C10 · 03-18-2010, 01:40 AM

I think that sounds sweet. And goes with the look of the truck. Graphics can be really awesome on certain trucks but I think you have the perfect plan with that color and the black rims for yours....the only thought is if you do stripe it....maybe a black line next to the silver or on either side so that stands out against the blue...
