I bought another hood that had been worked on my a bondo sculptor and he did a dang good job. We have some other issues to work on. So I still have time. If I was not looking for one there would a hood on every corner.

I think the exhaust tips should be the tips the customer brought in for me to install on his truck.......

That's every other Thursday after work. I just finished the canopy in time for the heat.

In your neck of the woods I am betting that is more important.

Its nice but ain't a big deal once your used to the heat. That is what the pool is for.

ironworks 06-10-2014 07:32 AM

A little progress on the rear bumper and tailgate. I love when we make a super fancy part that changes the look of a certain aspect a whole lot and yet it still looks stock.

Really Really nice. Sometimes one of those mods just shines. This is one.

214Chevy 06-10-2014 10:13 AM

Man, that is so sweet Roger. We're used to seeing flushed bumpers on cars, but not trucks. At least I haven't seen it much. Much sweeter than adding the age old roll pan. Nice touch! :RunninDog:

GregWeld 06-10-2014 10:16 AM

What I always appreciate about this shops work is how much these builds come out damn near ready for paint. Given the amount of subtle body mods....there's very little bondo needed to make 'em paint ready. Amazing metal fab skills there.

Thanks Guys. It really comes down to the customers willingness to let us do our best. Some times 50 bucks in bondo could save 5000 or 50,000 in metal work. But the quality will never be the same.


The only thing stock on the back of this truck is the taillights and I bet those will be made in billet pretty soon. Oh and the actual lettering in the tailgate came from another tailgate.

Speaking of which.........
Just fill the holes you need to fill, polish up the bare metal a bit and clear the darn thing as it sits! You don't need paint on this truck, it's beautiful "in the white".

Vince@Meanstreets 06-10-2014 01:44 PM

looking good.

I love how you incorporated the hood hinge mount with the down bar. That's the way to go.

Twinstang 06-10-2014 05:32 PM

That truck is going to be bad a$$

Jr 06-10-2014 06:02 PM

This truck has a killer looking stance!

Roger,

In regards to the orange stands, how high to the put the tires off the ground?

64pontiac 06-11-2014 06:59 PM

This thing is looking bad ass! Oh an thats a killer pool area, I can only dream about something like that. I must be doing something wrong!

RIDES BY DESIGN 06-20-2014 06:02 PM

ironworks 07-04-2014 11:24 AM

That looks great. Love the detail. Will it get painted or coated or will it remain with a machined finish?

Great job guys.

Great job guys.

Thinking about polishing it and the Anodizing it or possibly having Jet Hott do a coating on it. The intended color of the truck will really help set it off as far as the texture or color needed for the trim parts. But the gloves box, gauge bezel and AC center vent will all be the same color.

GregWeld 07-04-2014 02:48 PM

Well -- you just breathed new life into billet...

65 347 07-04-2014 09:09 PM

That looks awesome, nice work

aggie91 07-11-2014 02:23 PM

The dash, glove box and AC vents are over the top for this old C10.

Outstanding!

waynieZ 07-11-2014 08:05 PM

Wow that's awesome! Beautiful work.

ironworks 08-28-2014 09:40 AM

Carter Hickman did a great job bringing the customers dream to paper for us to work to possibly complete with a debut at SEMA.

Your gonna have to be more specific. We have had quite a few novas with crazy fab work. That's kinda what we do once in a while.
