Actually the Boss! I had to get my house ready to host His and the real Boss' 50th wedding anniversary party. They had a great time visiting with some old friends. I am really hoping to get back to the garage within the week.

In that time I was able to deliver some cool parts to Pro-Rides for their Project X-Box!

Well, ok then.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Back At It!
 

Here we go, back at it. After a very successful anniversary party for my parents and stint as a softball coach for my daughters 10U team, we are back at it. Details are the name of the game now. We have some A/C hard lines being made up currently. Once we have them, we will be able to make the rest of the A/C and heater lines under the hood. We decided to do it now so we weren't cutting finished panels to make them work. Pictures after we get those back.

We are also trying to get most of the fab work done on the bed so that we can take it apart and do the final welding. While it's apart we will get the oil and trans coolers mounted. Some pages ago I posted work we had done to the wheel tubs and bed sides. We like having the rear wheels and tires out as close to the fender lip as possible. As with everything else this required lots of work. Now we are down to the final details. One of which is the transition between the wheel tub lip and the bed side bolt flange for the bed wood. These tubs are bolt in on stock sides. But, because of our modifications they are now welded in. so here is the plan.

This tub will be welded in.

This is the interface of the 2 bolt flanges now. (Sorry, horrible picture)

A nice radius will look better.

Much better. Now repeat 3 more times.

MAN it is good to be able to post an update, however small!

And a good update it is Chad. Keep up the good work. Those corners are gonna look awesome.

Would you please finish this truck!!!!:underchair:

Thanks Marcus! Every time we have a break in the build and I come back, I see new things that I don't like. Sooner or later I need to just move on and get it finished. I wish I had some help like Mario does.

Oh, speak of the devil! :warning: You sound just like my Dad. All these bosses around here and no indians! :catfight:

I'm trying hard, It's getting there, at least we are talking body shop now!

Nice up date, these details make all the difference.
