chop: got the top off, took out 2 inches in the back and a hair less up frront. im going to lean the posts back the littlest bit to get her all lined up. being that its sectioned 8" and channeled 4", a 2" chop was about all a 6' guy can handle. actually the room inside is not too bad, its just getting in and out haha.

So far so good. How long before you set the lid back on? I'm anxious to see it.

Build your own, check out Tiny1's grill, it is really well done.

that is a great looking truck! keep up the great work. The stance is perfect and i love the rear bars.

hopefully the top will be close to being done tomorrow, so i can move on. im 2 1/2 months in on this so hopefully i can keep this pace. i got a qustion fellas. im debating on whether to build the firewall sirst, then place the colum and gearbox, or figure those out first then make the firewall around them..what would yall do? that is where im at after the chop and i figure i need to have seats, colum, and gearbox on hand to match it all up? suggestions concerns 2 cents?

I can't wait to see the chop done. I've been following this build closely and it's looking great.

 

[willmceliece]

quick preview, still gotta finish welding and finish doors.

Like I said over there looks great! You're doing an excellant job.
I would place the column and box first and then do the firewall if I had a choice. That will give you more options on placement without the firewall limiting you.

 

[willmceliece]

almost done, still gotta do some more grinding and the doors, but heres a little progress.

Looks great with your chop, section, and channel combo. I understand the height thing, I'm 6'1" with a 6.5" chop

 

[Cutman]

Looks great! Keep up the good work and picture postin'.

 

[Gastrick]

I really dig the proportions with the chop.

 

[tiny1]

chop & everything looks great your doing a super nice job I really like the truck

 

[dmw56]

As nice as that body is and the quality of work you're doing that truck deserves a nice shiney paint job! It won't cut it as a rat where's the rust?

 

[Thunder1]

Good looking job so far on your truck! That frame has a serious Z going on! I like it!

thansk guys, yall keep me motivated to keep pushing! as far as paint, i think im going to do a red oxide enamel by hotrod flatz. its a single stage paint but it has that primer look minus the chalky-ness.
