36 Dodge truck

By the looks of it, I’d say that rust would pretty much wipe off.

Very nice work, I wish my brother would build stuff for me.

DAMN SON! Time to quit sellin rims and start building rods full time. Looks awesome.

Cant find time to work on mine as it is. How in the world will it get finished if I work on everyone elses????

Slow progress the last couple of weeks . We fabbed up the kick panels , rolled in a few beads and got them installed .





Started on the covers for the A pillar

Nice job, keep up the good work. Want to be my big brother and build me a truck!

hey man thats looking cool , i need to get down there sopme time! oh i found you a coupe, tell Roger to call Frankie Parker he has one for sell!

Greg, this is looking really good. I love how solid the interior is looking. Great work!

Just out of curiosity, if you have a bead roller.
Why didn't you just replace the old floor with the new one you cut out + some beads for strength?

Good question , the bracing under the floor was not as level as I would have liked but was acceptable , I thought it would be easier to just overlay the existing floor . The floor on this truck will be carpeted so the welds will not be seen . If we were going to do a bare metal floor I would have cut all the existing bracing and sheetmetal out and started over for sure . I love the look of beads rolled into metal , but since the plan was for carpet this is the way I went

Cool, that makes total sense.
I love the cowl strech, great subtle way to make leg room.
I'm a little concerned about leg room when (in that dreamy future day) I get to start on my rat truck. I'm not REAL tall, only 6'2", but everything seems to be built for folks under 5'8".

A little more activity to report on , I positioned and mounted the mastercylinder and pedal assembly , throttle pedal and steering column . We fabbed a neat little drop mount for the steering . We drilled all the gauge holes and test fitted everything , the dash looks like swiss cheese with all the holes . Did alot of bondo work on the A pillar covers and header panel above the windshield and also blended the dash in . I think it's going to have a really sharp interior when finished .

I agree man that interior is going to look great all smoothed out like that..

Let's build a bed

The last few days we've been working on a new bed for the truck . This is my first try at fabbing bed sides and end gate . We frenched the tag and tail lights and made a mock tailgate that looks like a smaller version of one , it won't open but has the look . I wanted something other than a flat panel around the back of the bed . Z.Z. Rat is sending me an old dodge gate that I'll take the dodge logo from and inlay it into the center of our homemade gate , I think it will look great . We did the bed rolls from 1" EMT conduit and also the top of the gate to get the rounded look . We will start on the stake pockets tomorrow morning , after that we will start the smoothing process ( more bondo and sanding )

That bed looks amazing! Hopefully mine will turn out that good...

truck is coming out as i imagined it from the ideas being planned...level out the rear with the front and the truck will have a killer stance

Hey Gregster, Haven't forgot you. Finally got ahold of some cardboard to wrap it up. Hope you have a lot of patience! LOL

We are making some more headway on the truck , we have finished the body work and have it primed in .
