djleighk15 · 10-20-2009, 09:30 PM

djleighk15 · 10-22-2009, 04:05 AM

bdydrp18 · 10-27-2009, 10:52 AM

well finally got a chance to work on the truck a little over the weekend. started fixing the door corners

back to stock:

HATE CHROME · 10-27-2009, 01:00 PM

why are you switching it back?

bdydrp18 · 10-27-2009, 02:31 PM

i HATED the way it looked with the radius corner. it just never looked as good as i wanted it too. i'm thinking of cutting the corner again but only a small like 3/4" of 1" radius. the way i had it just looked bad. it is hard to explain unless you saw it in person, but it just looked bad

HATE CHROME · 10-27-2009, 05:08 PM

i agree with that...

M1N1TRUCK3R · 10-28-2009, 02:23 AM

bdydrp18 · 10-28-2009, 08:37 AM

well little update: wife had to work last night so i got some time to work on the door.

got all the piece cut down and fit together. started to weld everything back together. just need to pie cut the b-pillar and match everything back up and then on to the other door. going to be a lot more to do on the one because i'm replace the whole door on the passenger side.

bill 4.3l 5spd · 10-29-2009, 09:40 PM

i liked the radius, but the truck is badass man, cant wait to see it done!

djleighk15 · 10-30-2009, 02:29 AM

looks cool man..i have to agree though..stock or just all little curve on the door.

bdydrp18 · 10-30-2009, 08:28 AM

yeah i like it a lot better already with the stock corner back but i'm trying to make it so there are no square corners on the truck. so i'm going to put a small 1" radius on the corners

djleighk15 · 10-30-2009, 03:24 PM

Yea i think that would look good. not to extreme from stock you know

bdydrp18 · 11-02-2009, 08:33 AM

yeah hopefully

well i got all the piece cut and everything back together on the driver's door. start welding it up but run on of gas. also my damn order doesn't come in till Tuesday now so that sucked a little too.

rladieu3 · 11-02-2009, 08:59 AM

truck looking good man.

bdydrp18 · 11-02-2009, 09:11 AM

holy sh!t you are a live!!! haha thanks she getting there

NickelNDime · 11-02-2009, 10:16 PM

did you ever finish the bed?

bdydrp18 · 11-03-2009, 08:26 AM

no not really. i need to get my tanks and valve before i can really do to much more with the bed. most of the framing and stuff is done just really needs to be sheet metal now, oh i have to fix the rust on the driver's side fender too.

bdydrp18 · 11-03-2009, 04:01 PM

well off to pick up the order!!! 2 pc of 18ga. 4x8 and 2 pc of 3/4 24ft square tubing. should be everything i need to finish the floor for both the cab and bed. build the firewall, finish the backwall, redo a couple thing under the hood, and skin everything in the bed. oh yeah an build the interior. time to get back to WORK!!!

NickelNDime · 11-03-2009, 10:56 PM

This is going to be good! You do awesome work, it gives me lots of inspiration for my project. I just wish I could get it the 300 miles to where I live now. I did get my garage all cleaned up and ready and I'm starting to design my frame table. So I'll probly have lots of questions for you I'm planning on going the same route as your cab and bed, custom floor/ firewall and sheet metal bed. Are you going to skin the bottom of your cab floor? I just wondered if people do that or if it is necessary.

bdydrp18 · 11-04-2009, 08:27 AM

300 miles that's not that far lol

i don't really thing too many guys take the time to do both the top and under side but i'm planning on doing both. hoping to helps with the exhaust heat and road noise

NickelNDime · 11-04-2009, 07:55 PM

Yeah but I drive an Accord... so I cant really pull a car hauler.

Thats what I was thinking too and even possibly insulating it with some high temp stuff.

bill 4.3l 5spd · 11-04-2009, 10:08 PM

lovin watching you go with this thread!

Thats a good idea, maybe somehow you could put some sort of sound detner between the 2 floors. Just make sure it doesn't catch on fire!

bdydrp18 · 11-05-2009, 08:20 AM

yeah that's the plan. was going to try to find some sort of heat resistant material to put between the 2 piece to try a keep the floor a little cooler. being that the exhaust in only like 1" off the bottom of the floor anything will help

bdydrp18 · 11-05-2009, 08:22 AM

thanks hopefully i will get a little more done this weekend. going to get a new tank tomorrow night and the wife has to work saturdaty. so it is looking good for getting something done

[quote=NickelNDime;6609438]Yeah but I drive an Accord... so I cant really pull a car hauler.

haha thats true not sure the tow strength on a accord is to high

I pull my 1959 crestliner boat with a 150lb motor on it. It actually tows really well. Boat motor and trailer probly weigh a good 1000lbs. I wonder if I couldnt dolly it down here it is just the roller with cab.

bdydrp18 · 11-06-2009, 08:54 AM

yeah i would say using a tow dolly would be a lot easier, but it is had to say. you never really know with out trying lol

NickelNDime · 11-06-2009, 07:07 PM

yeah I'm just getting desperate, I need to work on it! When I get it here I'll finish stripping it down the rest of the way, build a frame table and start pickin away. I'm just going to take it one part at a time, 4 years ago when I started it I had 3 other huge projects going at it was too much. I'm going to try not to start any other part till I finish the one before.

slownoma63 · 11-08-2009, 01:49 PM

cant wait to see some more pics. looks awesome man good work!!!!!!!!!!!!

bdydrp18 · 11-09-2009, 10:57 AM

alrighty i didn't get as much done as i was hoping this weekend but i did get the driver's door all done. start working on finish the tubing for the floor too. got a lot more to do on the floor before i can sheet metal it but it is getting there.

driver's door done

new corner. i think it looks SOOOO much better then it did

xtucking22s · 11-09-2009, 11:02 AM

That does look real good now

bdydrp18 · 11-09-2009, 12:03 PM

yeah it just looks better. i'm 100% glad i charged it

mrroller · 11-09-2009, 02:04 PM

That corner definitelly looks better.. It looks natural.

83LOWrange · 11-10-2009, 10:44 AM

looks much cleaner... that radius looks like it could of been from the factory, A+

bdydrp18 · 11-11-2009, 11:11 AM

thanks guys

well got a lot more done last night. got about 80% of the tubing done for the driver's side floor. just have to finish up around the header and transmission now. also got the mounts for the driver's seat done too. thinking i may have to go get some 1/4" rod to finish around the header, but that can wait till next weekend. going to use the rod to build the transmission too.

NickelNDime · 11-11-2009, 06:33 PM

pics?

bdydrp18 · 11-12-2009, 08:28 AM

haha yeah probable monday

bdydrp18 · 11-16-2009, 11:21 AM

well here is your pictures lol

got all the tubing done on both the driver's and passenger's side. still have to finish up a little around the frame and header on the passenger's side. going to start doing a little framing for the firewall next. just need to think about how i want to to look when it is finished

bdydrp18 · 11-16-2009, 11:23 AM

oh i also have to get the seat mounts in for the passenger seat too. then i have to put in a couple tubes to support the mounts then the floor will be ready to put the sheet metal down on.

mrroller · 11-16-2009, 02:24 PM

That looks great! Keep it up!!

NickelNDime · 11-16-2009, 09:15 PM

Got my truck yesterday so I will be doing this soon! Nice work man.

lilredxtreme · 11-16-2009, 09:53 PM

looks good J. Ill have to stop in sometime.

83LOWrange · 11-17-2009, 03:23 AM

When I get it here I'll finish stripping it down the rest of the way, build a frame table and start pickin away. I'm just going to take it one part at a time, 4 years ago when I started it I had 3 other huge projects going at it was too much. I'm going to try not to start any other part till I finish the one before.
