Take a look at this truck...you can see at the bottom he massaged the metal outwards to meet the bottom of the taillight... aswell... the top looks like it was pushed out also like I have to...

Silver is the best color along with white to hide body work I think if you look really close you'll se the owner of this truck did alot of body work. Look twice but i think i can see it

still shexy

dimeboy · 07-28-2006, 07:06 AM

beautiful job on the tails... are you going to round off the top more (where the bedrails meet the tails) with some filler to make it more like the silver one or just kinda smooth it like it is? Sorry if you've already said it, I just reread most of the thread, but it's 5 in the morning, and I'm a little sleepy.. lol

Myst · 07-28-2006, 10:16 AM

well I want to pull the sides off so it looks like one ...almost flush as much as I can ...Ill show ya what I mean when the time comes ..lol

Mcfly Minis · 07-28-2006, 11:04 AM

I'll def. give a shout if I see you there, great progress.

Myst · 07-28-2006, 02:43 PM

ok well I went by my friends shop to tlak to him ...he told me not to pull the bed sides out with a slide hammer ... to just use duraglass to try and mesh everything well ...so ...we'll see what happens ..Ill have some progress tommorow

JollyGreenMini · 07-28-2006, 03:06 PM

I love the skeleton's you got going on behind the taillight's!

I'll be sure to look for ya at Carlisle, I want to see this shit done.

Myst · 07-28-2006, 03:42 PM

yea Im not sure it will be done ..lol...its a work in progress

It can't look any worse than the back of my truck, with one tail light shaved, and a HUGE crack in the skin/rollpan.

Myst · 07-28-2006, 04:32 PM

haha its not that ..its just bothersome that Its not going to be perfectly flat since im not pulling out the bed and I dont want to put to much filler ..so what I decided is to make it look flush even though it will come out a little ...but orangesonoma today wired them up for me except the drivers side is dimmer than the other side so I have to go over to him and check it out of whats going on

twistedpugsley · 07-28-2006, 05:48 PM

Hey man, you've got these thing going really well but your doing alot more work than is needed to be done. When mine were done we never did a skeleton and we sectioned the bedside a little bit to get the sides to match up. But your gettin there, i'm gonna attempt to throw some pics of mine up here.....

I did the wiring for mine and kno how to do the conversion, hit me up if you got any questions...

P.S.~ if someone will pm me and tell me how the hell to post pictures without using attachments, i will post more, BIGGER pictures....

twistedpugsley · 07-28-2006, 05:52 PM

pics still not workin..

Myst · 07-28-2006, 06:11 PM

I just PMed you send me the pics off AIM or MSN il host them and I wanted to ask ...

did you pull out the bedsides to match?? the lights ...did I do anything differently than you?? ... did I put them out to far?? ...is there something easy I can do now for it to fit right??

hey Im actually going to work and wont be back until like 10PM...so I'll leave you with a huge Thanks ..and with more questions ..lol..

instead of sectioning out the bedsides dont you believe I can just pull out the bed sides instead ...

In one of the pics it looks like you went rather far out with the metal to extend the bedside... did you use a fiberglass filler over the metal to build up the area ...thanks man ...

in the PM I said to post at photobucket.com or putfile.com ...but if you could post EVERY PIC YOU HAVE...lol...if you would be so kind ..Ill get back to you later on ..thanks man

Myst · 07-28-2006, 11:11 PM

Hey where'd ya go ..lol

klensdime · 07-29-2006, 12:34 AM

Myst · 07-29-2006, 01:21 AM

no when my parking lights are on and I hit the turn signals ...they go all weird ...

like the reverse lights start flashing and when I hit the drivers side signal ...the reverse light on the pass. side goes on ..lol...i have no iudea

Myst · 07-29-2006, 01:24 AM
