Not much of an update but I got some self holding nuts I was missing for the rear crossbar in the mail. So I mounted that up.

casey g · 08-17-2016, 01:46 AM

Also made a panel to start shaving the firewall. It's my first panel I've made using the bead roller. ( don't mind the toaster

)

casey g · 08-17-2016, 01:47 AM

Only letting me post one pic at a time

That panel looks nice.

the rotors look monster but the calipers - they are crazy!
are they 6 pots? - theyll pull the truck up easy...

tommys72 · 08-20-2016, 10:32 PM

Good lord...that truck might flip over if you hit those brakes to hard! Haha

Bomp · 08-21-2016, 12:33 AM

Frame is looking great.
Hope the sheet metal tips will come in handy.

Haha! It should stop pretty good. Main reason was it needed to look good in the wheels!

Awesome! I'll be following yours as well.
You are going to love the wheel even more in person, the concave makes them look sick.

STOCKISH · 08-21-2016, 03:35 PM

Those wheels and brakes are sick. Looking forward to more progress.

mooseknuckles · 08-21-2016, 06:57 PM

So you can see how in the first pic the gas tank mounts don't extend all the way over the rails and I really didn't want to drill a hole so off center in the frame in order to still get a good bite on the aluminum. So I drew up some tank mounts that I'm going to weld inside the rails. I got one welded in before I had to go to work and I plan on finishing the other three once I'm off late tonight.
