What is a S&H Green stamp? Oh XXL... how about a sleep number bed in the master bedroom?

Interesting on the grinding, I have never heard of anyone doing that before.

Well then I guess you never read the LemonDrop thread

That is the only way to go! I like using a 3" x .040 cut off wheel on a right angle die grinder, small, light and it won't get away from you! Makes for some slow going on big seems but the end result requires alot less finish work.

I grind as well with a 3M weld grinding wheel, 3" same but I have never ground down each individual spot weld as I go along. I will have to try that method and see how it comes out. Wish I had a tig welder though. May need to buy one this year some time as money permits.

It may be a little annoying at first, but once you see the end result, you won't go back to the other way!

completely awsome!!! What is the backspacing and wheel size? 22x9 with 5.5 bs?

PBFAB.COM · 07-05-2007, 11:57 PM

Really haven't made too much progress on the truck for a few weeks. We have done a little work to the dash however...

67sub · 04-16-2007, 10:50 AM

Looking forward to watching this one come to completion.

WinDancer · 04-16-2007, 11:30 PM

Nathan - How do you get on the backside of the roof where you contoured the back edge to do hammer & dolly work?

I have really skinny arms!

That is one area where "budget" necessitated the MIG process. It would be "ideal" to remove the inner roof panel... but most people wouldn't want to pay for that!

LuckyHG · 04-17-2007, 10:37 PM

I love the way the rear roof looks, great work on the whole truck.

98L150 · 04-18-2007, 12:38 PM

awesome work

**Yukon Jack** · 04-18-2007, 03:35 PM

That dash looks good! Hows that 117 degree weather treating you?
Keep up the good work! Drink lots of water!
