No new pictures but I finished all the welding/grinding on the cab today. I seam sealed all the welds inside the cab and after Christmas I will get started on the body work.

Driveway Dreams · 12-23-2009, 12:31 AM

The truck is looking good. Looks like the top is fitting well. I also like what you did with the fenders. I need to get the chop all finished on the 38 my buddy & I are building. EDIT: And build the bed, and build floors, and finish laying out the frame, and... I guess I just want to get some progress on the metal work. You have re lit the flame for that truck because yours looks to be coming along well. Good work.

tim23mn · 12-23-2009, 07:17 AM

That truck is sick!!! Awesome work. Your build keeps me entertained as I sit here in Korea wishing I could work on mine. Keep up the sick work and awesome mods!

I noticed the black paint on the front fenders. Im new to body work but is that a guide coat?

The black paint you see there is guide coat. You got that one. It is used to show the high and low spots when you are block sanding. It will sand off a high and stay in a low if sanding properly.

Dudewith4x4 · 12-24-2009, 12:50 AM

Thanks gerald. I thought so. Im taking autobody in school this year and already doing senior work (Im a junoir) and I used one a week ago. Im happy I could Identify it. Thanks man.

Dv8 The truck is looking awesome I just read the whole build. I think you need to build a 4x4.. I think your detail would make it look awesome.

dv8customs · 12-28-2009, 06:56 PM

Started making dust today...

justpball · 12-28-2009, 07:01 PM

nice!

Conundrum · 12-28-2009, 11:13 PM

Truck is lookin good!

Driveway Dreams · 12-28-2009, 11:18 PM

looks like you are starting to shape out a truck top.

Glad to watch and keep seeing progress.

dv8customs · 12-29-2009, 06:20 PM

How about a black top instead of white?

justpball · 12-29-2009, 07:00 PM

going to be one sick truck when you get it done...

Conundrum · 12-29-2009, 08:07 PM

I think a white truck with a black top would be cool looking.

hotrod_991 · 12-31-2009, 03:44 PM

well ill be dipped in batter and fried for sunday dinner you learn something new everyday. I used to always laugh at the guys running around with the tiger striped primer paint jobs come to find out they just preping for a good smooth finish.

dv8customs · 01-01-2010, 01:16 AM

I'm not sure all those guys are just laying down a guide coat for blocking but that is what I am doing...

dv8customs · 01-01-2010, 05:42 PM

A few shots with the bed set in place and the fender thrown on. I know the bed is crooked, I need to shim it.

ratty 46 · 01-01-2010, 05:46 PM

Neat ....... that truck is going to look kick ass when its finished.

dv8customs · 01-01-2010, 05:50 PM

Thanks, it does make the bed look a little longer, but I think the proportions came out great.

yes it did but it looks kick ass with that back window

tim23mn · 01-01-2010, 08:11 PM

dv8~ All I can say is WOW!!!! The craftsmanship and look is off the charts!!!

begining87 · 01-01-2010, 10:07 PM

Looks awesome. The back glass makes it all come together, it looks like all you did was take out the 4 inches of blank space below the back window. Like you said before people who did not know you choped the cab will only know something is different but not sure what. A great looking chop. Well planed out mod. Have you thought about 1 piece side glass?
