that should be a piece of cake for you

chad64chevy · 09-05-2011, 12:06 PM

what hood hinges are you going to use? factory or pb hinges??

shrunken66stroker · 09-05-2011, 12:13 PM

I'm not sure yet. I think with the PB hinges you can't run inner fenders, right? I'm definitely going to have inner fenders, so depending on the final design of the hood I'll either use the originals or adapt something else from a newer Chevy at the junk yard.

chad64chevy · 09-05-2011, 12:25 PM

i'm not sure either! i would think you would be able to notch the inner fender rail where the factory hinge bolts to to fit the pb hinges, but thats something to think about! i thought the pb hinges give you more tire clearance for lowered trucks? like so you can take the inner fenders out to drop it more, if this makes sense, i could me wrong tho!!

Strodder · 09-05-2011, 12:59 PM

How about a hood shocks with the stock hinges? I was wondering if that would work with our heavy hood. Works good on tonneau covers.

Hey there oh wise one.....

I am looking for ideas for the tailgate on my prostreet truck and was going to start a thread for some ideas. I went back on your thread and checked out what you have done for yours and I like it....would you do it again or make changes ?

I like everything except the way the stealth latches seat into the rubber grommets. I haven't decided what to do about it yet because I've been trying to figure out the front end.

Awesome build man..

theastronaut · 09-13-2011, 08:45 PM

Just went through your whole thread in between coats of stain on my bed wood. Love the wheels, stance, and the front fender opening mod! You do great work and seeing your progress really makes me want to get mine rolling! Keep it up!

Thanks guys.
I cut the end off of one side and a chunk out of the middle of another bumper today. I'm not sure how much I'm going to have to trim off of it but I'll figure it out. Off to get more argon in the morn. I ran out yesterday. I'll at least tack it up tomorrow.

forgot the pic

smilts60 · 09-14-2011, 02:57 AM

Great progress! Looking forward to seeing how the extended bumper turns out, been watching for awhile..

shrunken66stroker · 09-28-2011, 10:35 PM

I cut this piece out of my old bumper, shaped it and tacked it on. It kind of flares out away from the truck. I'm not in love with it so it will probably change.

wutnxt · 09-28-2011, 11:24 PM

Dude...

Great to see what your doing again....I love what your trying and since you trimmed up the center of the bumper i have given this alot of thought...can't wait to see how it ends up looking...keep up the good work

Alan's Classic · 09-28-2011, 11:53 PM

I'm liking it.

jchav62 · 09-29-2011, 08:57 AM

Nice!

shrunken66stroker · 10-05-2011, 10:29 PM

I shortened the bumper ends up and rounded them to match the fender a little better. I also finish welded and smoothed out the fenders.

Frizzle Fry · 10-05-2011, 10:33 PM

Looks KILLER

shrunken66stroker · 10-06-2011, 12:10 AM

There's a gap at each corner that I'm going to fill up to be consistent with the rest of the bumper.

65Pickup · 10-06-2011, 12:19 AM

Now it looks perfect, I knew you'd dial it in, great fab.

Alan's Classic · 10-06-2011, 12:26 AM

Looks even better, nice eye!!

*R.A.D* · 10-06-2011, 06:56 AM

and............ what'd you do today.........

Strodder · 10-06-2011, 10:29 AM

Nice detail work. Most people will look at it and say it looks great, but something looks different. Not knowing what you did.
LOVE IT

Thanks, guys. Nothing today. I've only had a little time the last two weeks and I think I made good use of it.
