CCLB project

[BigTonka]

WOW great looking project!! Keep the pics coming

 

[not enoughsmoke]

looks good also looks like the same color my wife chose for the 89 fummins pics do not do the color justice

 

[BigRed97]

not much in the way of pictures this round, but got the wiring all squared away, brakes bled, coolant filter installed, temporary trans and drive shaft insalled, all fluids filled.

and she moves !

 

[BigRed97]

got the bed on. gotta wash it tomorrow and get it in the booth for primer...

Moving along good, sweet project. So the 08+ springs dont ride that good?

 

[BigRed97]

well they do ride better than the earlier ones, but not much better.

being that i bought them new from ford and bought the conversion hangers from PMF, the improvement was not worth the money spent. now if someone were to get a set free/cheap and just move the stock hangers(wich i found out works after the fact) i would say go for it

 

[Dmstrucks02]

yea those pmf hangers are nice but pretty spendy

 

[BigRed97]

progress....

got the doors primed and blocked, a few nights ago, to smooth out that wonderful factory door wave

saturday morning got the final prep done and rolled it in the booth

all tapped up

made a last minute change in paint, we (well my two buddies that painted it) decided it would look awesome as a 3stage job, with a pearl coat over the chosen color(bright amber metallic). So i went with an orange pearl)

im going to get it out of the booth now, and will get some pictures in the sun tomorrow

That color is F**king awesome! Nice choice

 

[Tonka350]

your friends made a KILLER CHOICE BUD!!!! are you doing an 05+ conversion or leaving the 99-04 front end? that would look absolutely stunning as an 06 clone with the color you guys chose! it's beautiful!

What they said, the color looks great

 

[vcassens]

Subed This is an awesome project and the color it f'en sweet

 

[jdc753]

wow that color is wicked awesome!!! Can't wait to see the pics of the truck in the sun and as it gets the rest of the trim put back on.

 

[Wojo]

Like they said the color looks great. Awesome choice. It's nice to See someone take there time to do a proper paint/masking job also. nothing irritates me more than a lazy prepped who can't mask for ****

 

[BigRed97]

thanks for all the compliments guys!!!

as for the front end, i have an 05 grille shaved down to fit the older bumpers and 02-04 head lights

That paint job makes my nipples hard! I can't wait to see how that looks with everything else together on the truck, out in the sun! :drool:

 

[BigRed97]

got the doors all insulated...

vibration material on the outer skin

and sealed with closed cell foam on the inner pannel

and a picture of it in the sun just for the hell of it.

i still have to get all the seats in, dye my over head console, and clean it up..but after 2 days of driving it im happy. the noise reduction is amazing! the doors close with a dull thud instead of the usual shaking echo

That color, and paint work look amazing. I'd try to find a chrome wheel to put on it, to help tie it all together....if you had the coin, I think a chrome novikane (as much as I hate to say a bmf wheel, cause everybody runs them) would look sick on there. That color begs for moderate chrome usage, to really compliment the "pop" factor.

see i think it needs a black/machine style wheel.....either way it'll get new wheels, 20's wrapped in 37's, when i do the 05+ axles in the spring

Nice work! I think some black 20x12s would be right at home.
