couple more but still waiting for the rest of tin..............................................Got the Alpine headunit, Alpine amp, Focal speakers, bluetooth and cellular amp in, just gotta spend some time to install. Mounted the CB and antenea, some windshield lights, side steps, OHH and finally my front fenders........WARNING: when powdercoating, bake oven gets up to 400 degrees and will straighten the tube out that was bent for fenders, so be prepared to bend and torque to get back into place or bolt to a jig and coat entire unit

 

[waiting for time]

Love the truck, your work looks awesome, great attention for detail.

How are you going to route the wiring from the switches?

 

[DereksFJ]

This thing is so sweet. Can't wait to see it done. Love the tube flares and the rear ones too.

I tapped 10/32's holes into horizontal tub to screw down with half clamps, wires in loom........easy for access and maintanence. Thanks man!

Sorry to hear this, hope you still get the paintjob you intended.

got a few things done, mounted the amp under passengers seat, completed the head unit install, fabb'd a mount for the onboard air and a alum pan to fill void between the stretched bumper.

FINALLY ...................after months and months of waiting for my the first pill poppin' painter, switched companys and got my hood and side doors and fiberglass top back from Montrose Auto Body!!!, all in under 2 weeks .....and lookin beautiful, what a great high to finally align this hood after 3 years of build

Finished up the switch panel after some fitment issues, now the wiring into relays and all electrical is completed!!

 

[burnttoastburgos]

Got the cap back and warmed the shop up this morning to let the headliner relax. Worked out great, alot easier than expected.

Geez! I am totally digging your colors on this. Attention to detail is spot on. The only thing I am havving "issues" with is the tire size. With the wheel wells opened up so much they look small. Also I am not liking the white letters facing out. But you know what they say about opinions. Yep mine stinks too.

Perhaps it's jealousy making me be nit-picky. Yep that's what it is I am full on jealous of this rig.

 

[burnttoastburgos]

green...they're 35's, although should've gone a little taller but with 4:88, this size has always worked for me in the past, especially with a soa. as for the whites out........too late now

OHHH!!!......whats up, Nice Avatar.......actually the same as Purple, just took 3 years more and a little cleaner. I still miss that cruiser and bet it still runs like a top. Some Navy guy from Oregon bought it about 7 years ago. Good to hear from ya!!

WOW great build and cant wait to see it back in Catamount

I would have never made the conection unless for Chris aka BigRedFJ40...been a long time...that purple truck did stick out in my mind as well

This build is nothing like the purple...this is awsome...great job so far...look foward to seeing it wheel take alot of pics

 

[burnttoastburgos]

Got the doors and hood on but rough,... now workin on the cap, i think someone wrote it was easier to assemble cap on ground then mount on body...correct?? I gotta come up with a better solution for my ghetto fuel fill housing, hey...its stainless and got about four hours into that freakin thing

JohnnyC........i have a very bad memory for names but i can remember a face for years, Chris i remember, although i though he was goin to PA.......i gotta see a pic, then it'll come back to me
Catamount was a great run.......Chris is the only one that had video of the Purple pullin a wheelie up one of the switchbacks!!.

 

[ducky81]

this car is absolute perfection !!!
im in love

 

[burnttoastburgos]

Finally got to sit in the cruiser with my wife for the first time in 3 years.......pretty cool to have her input on stuff as the build progressed.........happy wife,..... happy life!!!

ordered the Tom Woods shafts today.......should have them by tuesday or wednsday, then as usual with this build, off to powdercoaters

gettin close but i dont think Cruise Moab will be in the works as i am running low on time. but we will be going to Cruiser Fest in Utah...sponsered by Proffitts Cruisers....

Hey BT, jaw droppin--nice work. Where did you find the piece (yours is billet) which holds the steering column to the bottom of the dash right under the guage cluster? just curious. I need something similar, my column in a 2".

 

[twoturtlesracing]

Lookin great man! Glad you're keeping the top! Seems like a lot of the more modified/hard core rigs wind up losing the top.

Can't wait to see it in person one of these days! We'll have to do some runs in the mt's between us one of these days, then maybe I'll head your direction and we can go do 29 Rd in Junction... I've heard it's got some good wheelin'!
