fitrider19 · 07-17-2009, 11:54 PM

sonoma808 · 07-19-2009, 04:00 PM

dava flav · 08-31-2009, 12:52 AM

there is barely any material on the inside of the wheel as it is. im not worried about it anymore
got the bumper for free from a friend.
using a th350 tranny.
have been pretty busy. so heres a big update.
sprayed my last shot of primer last night but no pics of that. truck on the outside is now ready for paint.
today i stripped the front clip pulled the motor and started working on the smoothing the firewall.
no pics of all that though. heres some other pics

sneak peak of whats to come to newstands

heeter_33 · 08-31-2009, 01:04 AM

wow those are some great lookin trucks. the s10 is pretty much everything i wanted mine to be haha, awesome work man.

MurderedS10 · 08-31-2009, 04:09 PM

love them.

dava flav · 09-01-2009, 09:16 PM

umm yummy. practically have put most of this on by hand lol
firewalls are a bitch

Pingar · 09-02-2009, 09:49 PM

Awesome work..Can't wait to see this done. I really like the white primer.

dava flav · 09-03-2009, 09:34 PM

firewall is done!!!
i think im gonna make the battery tray permant and the fenders bolt in. that way if i ever do want to run 20s up front i just take the fenders out. i mean cmon why else did i do all this work to the firewall.

powdercoater · 09-03-2009, 10:54 PM

looks awesome man for sure, is that your blue fullsize? that grille is hot

sounds like you need to upgrade bro... :P

dava flav · 09-05-2009, 01:44 AM

no thats my boy dave price's truck.

dava flav · 09-09-2009, 04:17 PM

i tried building some battery trays but i just wasnt liking anything.
then i found out that the batteries that im using come in a steel case so im gonna order my two batteries then use thier cases to mount em up on the tubs in the front sloping back.

pearldrop · 09-10-2009, 12:09 AM

The truck is lookin awesome. I was planning on doing my front fenders the same way. Don't forget that the hood hinge will come down on top of the fenders. You will probably have to notch them out.

dava flav · 09-10-2009, 12:06 PM

no notching required. i already put the hood on and it clears just fine there is actually a decent gap between the hood structure and the tubs.
the hinges on a 1st gen go into the cowl area.

pearldrop · 09-11-2009, 12:11 PM

Cool. Maybe mine is different because my fenders have to sit above the lip of the fender. It actually hits where the hinges mount to the hood.

Every time I work on my truck I wish I would have stuck with 18s in the front.

clean n low · 09-11-2009, 03:59 PM

what gauge did you use for the bed floor?

dava flav · 09-11-2009, 09:52 PM

chris.- yeah man i love my 18s they tuck decent and i dont have to lock it up to turn. i clear the tire by 3-4 inches.

i used 16g onthe bed floor

dava flav · 09-16-2009, 09:48 PM

ive been thinkin and i think i will put the battery under the bed.
heres some progress on the tubs

and heres a brace i had to add to widen the bottom of the tailgate area to make the gaps match

gotta a couple other little things done but nothing pic worthy

G4Ls10 · 10-12-2009, 12:12 PM

whats goin on with this thing??? lol

dava flav · 10-25-2009, 02:27 AM

lets see. i picked up a full sheetmetal dash that was in a s10 got a different bed. some led tails and taillight fillers. the cab is for real now ready to paint. along with front clip. then get to work ont he bed. and get that out. so all i have is the chassis in the garage to finish all the metal work on the frame and clean it up for powder coat
last prime. little blocking monday then wetsand and paint later in week. then bringing the bed in to finish.

***fetuss10*** · 10-25-2009, 04:11 PM

dontxtrust · 10-25-2009, 05:54 PM

dava flav · 10-26-2009, 11:10 PM

redid the tubs to hold a 245/40/20
and wire wheeled all the bare metal.
and fitted the front clip for the last time before paint.

mrroller · 10-30-2009, 11:02 PM

Lookin good! I like the trailer fenders in the bed, how they are rounded a little on the top. It looks cool lol.

Close2theground · 10-31-2009, 12:11 AM

looking awesome man, you did a kickass job on that gas door !

dava flav · 11-01-2009, 01:40 AM

actually thats my boy brandons work. he uses teh pins and gets it as good as possible so it only takes one coat of duraglass.
hes the shit at body work. making my truck look titties
it should be ready for paint next weekend. im so excited

V8Blaze · 11-01-2009, 11:18 PM

looks awesome. Where did you get the fenders with the curve in the center, they look awesome

dava flav · 11-03-2009, 09:58 AM

six robblees trailer supply baby. thats where i get all me trailer fenders. even the giant 6 foot tandem one i cut in half to make the front tubs. lol

pearldrop · 11-03-2009, 01:47 PM

Awesome. There is a Six Robblees trailer supply in Bellingham. I will probably use those for under my hood.

dava flav · 11-03-2009, 09:08 PM

theres one in everett too.
prob one in mount vernon look it up.
they have a lot of different styles check their site

dava flav · 11-03-2009, 09:11 PM

well i welded the tubs the rest of the way up. radiused the welds. and brandon worked more of his magic.
this guys the ****ing shit and working mud and metal work. hes so god damn good and fast at it.

dava flav · 11-05-2009, 12:54 AM

brandon finished up the driver side and started on the pass side which doesnt need much work at all. we may be able to have the bed in primer by monday.
this guys lines are ****ing perfect!!!

dguzzardo22 · 11-05-2009, 03:22 AM

im still trying to study how you built the braceing for the bed.

did you just throw the bed on there then tacked where it should be?

im just trying to study how to body a bed b/c mine is giving me a headache!!

dava flav · 11-15-2009, 11:09 PM

need to 40da the inside bed walls for liner. then wetsand the outside and shes ready for sealer and paint.

dava flav · 11-18-2009, 01:15 AM

cab and bed are in sealer.
just need to finish the inside bed walls and seal the inside bed and sand down the inner fenders and jambs and wetsand the outside then shes leaving.

Close2theground · 11-18-2009, 12:43 PM
