On the wheel wells are you just going to bring the stock tubs back to the new lines? I recently killed one of my stock flares so it has to be chopped off. When you put the rear wheel wells back together would post a good pic or two of it? thanks

FRIZZLEFRY · 05-02-07, 06:48 AM

Yea,that seemed like the easiest wat to go about it.I cut out the rear half of the wheel well,gonna add two inches to it,and put it back in.Its kind of a big ordeal.I think I have almost 3 hours into just one side.Prolly half of that was head sratchin time.The passenger side will go faster Im sure.I will take some good in progress pics next time Im over there

I got the drivers side rear wheelwell done for the most part.I was a little worried about how I was going to get this done.So I just sort of started putting it back together and it turned out not to be so bad.

Remember when I said I'd bring entertainment to the next event Sleeper? this gives me a good idea!

dieselcruiserhead · 05-21-07, 04:35 PM

Dude.. Seriously awesome work with that wheel well, top notch! It is crazy how cool the fab is starting to get with these 55s and other cruisers in the last couple years.. We are almost entering hotrod-level creativity I feel like.. Awesome man!

Niner · 05-21-07, 07:18 PM

Why do all the trucks in the shop run their directional tires backwards?

except the dually slung of course.

IROKS chunk less and in most cases directional tires work better on the rocks backwards

FRIZZLEFRY · 05-24-07, 07:00 AM

And a few pics of misc. stuff.

Some D ring mounts for the front bumper and a couple for the rear.They were 1x2 flat bar

The rear ones.

I made some plates to cover up the rough holes that were cut in the grill and stuck some cool LED marker lights to them

I thought it would look kinda cool and let a little heat out of the engine compartment at the same time.I buzzed these slots through the vent cover thingys with a 3/8" endmill

Thats all for now.But this weekend I should make huge progress if Im lucky.I have 5 days off

Chris

GLTHFJ60 · 05-24-07, 09:27 AM

That front bumper is going to be massive. I can't believe how huge those ring mounts are!!

camcruiser13 · 05-24-07, 09:59 AM

i love this truck, keep it up

brokenparts · 05-24-07, 11:19 AM

I'd use some beefier material for the tow points next time.
