bed mock up I started to weld the bed together. The rear part of the bed will serve as a sort of "trunk". I'll be building a tonneau cover in the coming weeks that will have weather stripping to seal that part of the bed. I got all of my parts together to start building my fuel cell. I...

Yeah! How cool would that be! Great idea Bonehead! [cl[cl[cl

I'm heading there in August for Speed Week! Might only be able to stay for day or two, but at least I'll be able to cross it off my bucket list. I've been thinking about doing a belly tanker as my next build so I'll be gathering lots of info while there. -Troy

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!![cl -Troy

Very happy for the both of you! Congarts!! -Troy

Coupe on the way home I saw this coupe on the way home the other day...sitting on the side of the road in downtown st. pete. -Troy

Start working on the bed today. I got the sides mocked up. I need to fix the bends, but I'm also trying to figure out if I need to cut a little off the back...what do you guys think? I'm thinking it looks ok...I never really wanted the tire centered in the bed. Should be able to get the rest...

Don and Sarge, thanks for the props! Don, how about an update on that RPU??? [P Funny you mentioned the seats...I put them in and sat down in the drivers seat and started looking at the dash to get some ideas of what I wanted to do with it...I was there for a good 15-20mins and when I got up I...

I always have beer at the shop, but I might have only one and only as I'm winding down and cleaning up. My shop is in a big row with others and there are some guys that can build pyramids with their empties. It's just too much for me. They run out and always know that I have some and they come...

Not sure about the head rest. Have to wait and see how the interior pans out. Thanks for the props guys! With the engine done I'm fired up about getting some serious time in the shop...only thing is this pesty "job" thing keeps getting in the way! :rolleyes: :D -Troy

I would have to agree with the consensus that JJ is an a**. The one thing that I like about him and Dr. C. brought this up is that he has always sought out to enhance his knowledge in his craft. Plus his shop is full of antique metal working equipment and that's just plan cool as heck. :D The...

I stand corrected. -Troy

I love this quote from the article: "The Prius and a second Toyota also caught up in the 14-car smash were not thought to be part of the supercar pack." Hope no one was hurt, but I know someone's bank account is going to feel the pain. -Troy

I think that price is "self promoted". Some people will set a reserve and get their friends to pump up the price just below the reserve to show interest to attract someone with money to make the final bid. I bet the reserve is set at $35,001. Like earthman said nice truck, but I don't think...

Thoughts and prayers to your niece and your family. -Troy

I'll be a Billetproof for sure. Maybe even have my truck ready by then. Look forward to it and meeting you guys! -Troy

Not too much to update on. I've been re-arranging the shop to get ready to pull the cab off the frame. I did do some welding on the floor pans and got the frame for the bed bolted to the main frame. I added some extra metal to the main frame where the bed bolts are located then drilled and...

Really good job on those floor pans! [cl[cl[cl Keep up the good work...looking forward to seeing more progress! -Troy

Hey Ty, I'm going to use the Rustoleum Hammered Metal paint. I've attached a picture...they have it at Lowes and Home Depot for a good price. -Troy

Great pictures! I was holding off from posting mine because your first set had a lot of the same pictures that I took and I didn't want to double post. Ends up that my set are about the exact same as yours. Sorry I didn't get to meet you and your family...I could only make it there on...
