The truck has had its first coat or primer after the filler work. We are doing this truck in house in our new paint booth facility. The picture below was the only body work picture I have taken yet. This was day one of bodywork I think.




We are building a nice Paddle shifter capable center console That will handle the PRND shifting and allow us to bang gears.


We had to develop some of our own billet hinges as know one makes a quality hinge that would work.


Other then that, not a whole lot to see. Just getting the fit of the truck just right. Thanks for the interest.

Any progress is good progress to me Roger. Looking good to me. Can't wait to see that color on it. Nothing has changed on the color in the rendering I hope.

Nope just trying to figure out whether those bumpers are Brushed nickel or Brushed aluminum or some powder coat combo. We need to nail the rendering. That is what the design is for.

Awesome truck! I just read through this thread and I am now even further behind on things I need to get done today... I will be following the rest of the progress.

Rodger where did you get that shifter from, looks very cool? Is that from a late model car?
