Alright my other project thread was way too long, so im starting part 2....work today consisted of getting the bed cut, dropped, and tacked...put the bed back on to see how it lines up, and it needs to be tweaked in some areas, but its pretty damn close....i talked to dave at suicidedoors.com today and i got my 5 gallon tanks on the way, hopefully they should be here soon...thanks again brotha!.....also, dont mind the wood, its so i can get a jack underneath the truck still....

i was thinking of doing that, but i really want to try and keep the scheme i have now until i get it painted for real...im just trying to think of the best design to tie the silver in with where i shaved the filler door.
I think you should paint it all green or all silver if it must be in paint....either way that two tone break up line makes me want to puke where it curves down in the front....the rest looks good. If you keep it two tone at least fix the front...

lol jeez i never knew it was that bad...back when i first did it, i never had it sloping down, i had it going straight across to the headlights, and everyone was telling me to slope it like i did in the back.....ehhh whatever, it dont bother me...its all going to change very soon anyway :)

Got a little more done today...got the switchbox and everything hooked up, and i turned on the ignition and the tanks kicked on. so atleast the pressure switch still works and all the switches still work...me and pops took apart the right front and got the leak fixed. We then found one of the tanks is leaking from one of the bungs, so i need to fix that.....We also cut the hole for the driveshaft as well...its almost done kiddies...im sorry to say, but from here on out, im going to be vague with updates. I have a few things up my sleeve that i want to do to the truck that i dont want anyone to see until the first show i bring it to....So keep an eye out :cool:

lol very true....well then in 2 weeks how about that??? I want to have this thing at Envy Frenzy which gives me 2 solid weeks to get her done...so until then, u guys get just typing updates lol...maybe a few pics here and there....

today i worked on the truck for 12 straight hours...yes, 10am to 10pm, and im ****in shottttttttttttt....got the driveshaft tunnel fitted up and welded, ran out of gas at the very end luckily. Modified both kickpanels to accomodate the body drop, and they fit like a glove. Got the wiper motor out from the firewall and started working on wiring it up. Took the cowl off and re-sealed inside of the cowl since i had a little water leakage. Worked a little more on the wiring of the valves in the bed. Ran the wires thru the firewall and started working on sealing them up...whewwwwwwww im shot, time for bed
