Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I will have some kind of mesh. It will be finer than the piece in the pic and recessed about an inch into the opening.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Since I didn't do too well at a pool tournament this weekend I ended up getting a little time in the shop. I started the other side of the hood.
[IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() I should get the other side panel in and hopefully the corners tonight.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Thanks Guys.
Almost done with the basic shape of things then I just need to place a couple thousand tacks. [IMG] ![]() I need to swing by my steel supplier and see what I can find for expanded metal. I will be using that for the front intake, the rear side cowl vents and probably the grill.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Got kind of a Mad Max vibe to it along with an old WW2 era plane look. That's without paint, regardless, looks awesome!

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I love this build and the concept behind it. Keep up the good work! When you decide to ditch that front bumper, I would be interested in buying it off you.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I got all of the main structure done. Next is building the frames for the screens in the front inlet and the rear vents. I need to go over to a buddies and use his break for that. Of course I just found out my buddy had a hatchet incident at a scouting event today. Hopefully he is up to me coming over tomorrow.
[IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() I started cleaning up the back edge. I used some pieces from the donor hood and some generic body repair panels to get the folded edge. [IMG] ![]()

Looks real good. Is the gmt400 in the background another project?

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
That belongs to a buddy of mine. Not really a project, just doing some repairs.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I hear you there. I'm dreading placing those tacks more than grinding them. i did finish welding and grinding one little section tonight. I welded the mounting points for the intake grill.
[IMG] ![]() I need to get the inside with a dremel or die grinder.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I actually started working on my truck again. Nothing too exciting is getting done, but things are getting done. I finished spraying the floor with undercoating and got back to work on the bodywork on the rockers and corners. This area doesn't have to be perfect as I will be coating the bottom six or so inches of the truck with bed liner. Since I had to patch a couple areas on the side cowl area (whatever that is called) I shot some flat white paint I had laying around on it. I really like how the flat white shows the bends and shadows.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I found some smaller expanded metal and threw together a screen for the intake. I'm not sure if I like the expanded metal or not, but it will work.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I got the hood primed and painted since it was an absolutely strange 60 degree February day in Pennsylvania. It looks terrible, but I just need to get it in paint and will finish it up later. I started with some Duplicolor self etching priner then shot some Krylon flat white.
[IMG] ![]() [IMG] ![]() Now, I need some opinions. With the hood emblem... [IMG] ![]() or without? [IMG] ![]()

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
My preference would be to remove the emblem. I think it would be "too busy" looking with it. IMO

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Thanks for the opinions guys. I think I have to agree. It gets a little busy with the emblem on there.
