thanks guys,i hate body work and been having motivation problems of my own.my original idea was to do a nice chassis and ratrod body BUT i got a buddy who cant leave a piece of aluminum un-polished and after the tunnel ram set his sights on my tranny case,then i had to hear non stop how i couldn't put a crappy body on a nice frame.
i appreciate the sanitary comment,i tried real hard to keep it clean. i shortened the front of the frame 3 times and made a few other changes to get the look i was after.
the hood ornament is really a shift knob made by Kaval

heres a few more pics,but i gotta say the engine in the chassis is my mock up engine(stock 440) i was going to run until my 505 was done.my 505 is waiting for push rods and head studs and will go in before the cab goes back on now,plus its got some more bling bling parts on it

more

Sweet!

BODY WORK i hate it,i come up with a full proof way of being left alone though,just let your friends know your doing body work and you wont see them for weeks for more then a few minutes im no body guy and havent done any in over 10 years.i was actually pretty amazed with how straight it was after i saprayed the first batch of primer.good thing i didnt get black primer it may have just stayed that way

one more pic

body work is done,the painter at work is going to spray it this coming weekend.cant wait to start putting it together.borrowed a lizard skin gun and spray ceramic on the bottom of the cab and sound deadner inside the cab and inner box sides.its some weird messy stuff.

fired up the lathe and made some nice knobs and ring nuts for my switches today.

push pull headlight switch with high and low beam,and push pull starter and ignition switch

Lookin GOOD
When should I bring my coupe over so you can start on it?

thanks moparx.i cleaned my shop last night and got all the "body shop" out of it..had the whole family out there blowing spraying and washing,lol
picked up the 505 today and decided to swap engines.pulled the old motor out and all the good stuff off and soon found out my new 6 bolt HD flex plate and arp bolts dont work on a 8 bolt crank i was going to order a 6 bolt 440 source rotating assembly to begin with and changed my mind and went with a muscle motors set up,never asked them about it and handled the crank a bunch setting up the engine and never paid any attention till now.new parts are on the way.

Sweet truck... Please dont say your painting it red

as much as i like red..alot..and the color of my megacab,ramcharger,rzr,even the wifes cough cough 66 mustang...no its going to be SEM hotrod black and might get some mopar door art down the road.

nice job,,,they look killer,,,,

got the cab back on and the new engine in.been having to massage this and that to make all the new parts work together and going through my game plan on wiring......at least its pretty clean and fun work from here on out

seems like i spend more time chasing down little parts now
